HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (2004)
Any Harry Potter flick is good for the young ones, but Azkaban, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, is the best of the bunch. Why? Because it concocted, for the first time, a real magic world, and gave those who live in it — Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the lot — real weight as characters. Azkaban's about learning to mind one's temper, keep track of time, and hold on to family, wherever one may find it (even in prison).
