When I first made this list in 2021, The Bourne Identity was at the top. However, after revisiting Minority Report, I have to say it's probably my favorite of 2002, and one that still holds up really well 24 years later. It's become one of my favorite non-franchise Spielberg movies.

"Everybody runs."

Honorable Mentions: The Bourne Identity was another great start to a memorable action movie franchise. While I'm not quite sure it was the best in the series (or my favorite), it was definitely a standout in the 2002 movie season. Signs is actually another highlight for 2002, but not one I revisit as often as others. I do love the Bible-study-ready themes of faith and purpose that Signs offers, though. Another standout movie for 2002 is, again, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, but the second one is probably my least favorite of the three, and begins to introduce some of the series' more annoying characters. Monsters, Inc. was also a standout of 2002, and a hard one to not mention.
