6) 40 -Year Old Virgin (2005) -- Steve Carell, Seth Rogan

The movie that kick started the Seth Rogan/Jude Aptow thing. Had to believe that this was the first time Ihave seen it from start to finish. Usually I just jumped in on the whole box of porn speech or the waxing bit. But, I have to say that I do enjoy me a bit of Steve Carell!! Really, this is a prime example of a movie that's a hit based on more than just the main star. Ensemble comedy is a hit or miss type of deal. If you don't get the right actor/actress in the right part it all come crashing down. 40 year old Virgin is an example of all things going right! If you like stupid, crude, juvenile humor (and who doesn't?) give this one a look.


7) 5th Element (1997) -- Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovovich

One of my favorite Sci-Fi action movies of all time. Really it's a shame that I don't watch it more. Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman are in fine form. Granted this movie is no Academy Award winner. It is a fine action movie. (since we are early in the list of movies I need to say that Bruce Willis can do no wrong--hint: I love Hudson Hawk). Great supporting cast in Chris Tucker, Ian Holm, "Tiny" Lister and Luke Perry. I think this was the first movie I saw that made me want to run home and own the movie. Grant back in 1997 that wasn't the option that it is today!


8) 54 (1998) -- Mike Meyers, Neve Campbell, Ryan Phillipe

The story of Steve Rubell and (in)famous studio 54. Sex, Drugs and Disco!!! Basically all you need to know here is that Mike Meyers is NOT funny...and that's a good thing. Meyers got good reviews but if I remember no-one was blown away. Let me restate that.. Iwas blown away. Seriously one of my all time favorite Mike Meyers movies. It's kinda shocking that he hasn't really done another serious movie. I can remember when I got this movie...it was the start of my movie collection. One of the 8 free DVD's from Columbia house for the low low price of shipping. Decided that it was a good deal...overpaid for a few more movies..and years later here is where I find myself!
