Fall movies: Here's a look at what may be the season's top 25

8. Elizabethtown (Oct. 14). Strengths: Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) returns to his personal, very charming Billy Wilder impressions that send people out of theaters with great big grins. Orlando Bloom pulls a Bill Murray and goes on a journey of self-discovery, on the urging of Kirsten Dunst, after his dad dies. The fine Kentucky band My Morning Jacket provide a melancholy vibe. And in a show of taste: as rumor has it, Crowe ditched Ashton Kutcher after the incredible realization the boy can't act. Weaknesses: Is Bloom without a bow and arrow an actor without a crutch? He hasn't carried a (good) picture yet. And Crowe still has the occasionally lapse into preciousness.
