I'd delete Crash and put in Cruel Intentions, based purely on his performance.

But he was hot AF in i know what u did last summer and cruel intentions!

Just watched him in Little Blue Boy - brilliant performance there (better than Cruel Intentions imo, however they are both very different movies so its prob hard to compare - he did an outstanding job on both movies).

I loved him in Playing By Heart too - he and Angelina were PERFECT together.

Not disputing your list, it's YOUR list after all, but you seem to be stuck in time, like his best work is behind him.

I'd have to say
#1 Shooter - his Bob Lee Swagger is nuanced yet fierce, completely immersive
#2 The Way of the Gun - simply one of my favorites
#3 Cruel Intentions - his Sebastian set the bar for a whole generation of knock offs who never seem to match his ease of malice
#4 Stop-Loss - a desperate soldier who just wants justice
#5 Breach - he disappears into this role, so very well done

After that it's Lincoln Lawyer, Gosford Park, Flags of Our Fathers, Igby Goes Down and a little film no fan should miss: Homegrown. I could keep going, and I won't, but if you're a fan, also don't miss Straight A's.


It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.
