Random Worst Movies To Mix Up (21 items)

• 

  (#1) 28 Days Later

  • Cillian Murphy, Christopher Eccleston, Naomie Harris, Brendan Gleeson, Luke Mably, David Schneider, Noah Huntley, Stuart McQuarrie, Megan Burns, Ray Panthaki, Sebastian Knapp, Ricci Harnett, Leo Bill, Marvin Campbell, Alex Palmer, Toby Sedgwick, Paul Kasey, Bindu De Stoppani, Jukka Hiltunen, Nick Ewans, Tristan Matthiae, Junior Laniyan, Terry John, Joelle Simpson, Sanjay Rambaruth, Justin Hackney, Richard Dwyer, Al Stokes, Christopher Dunne, Steen Young, Adrian Christopher, Emma Hitching, Jeffrey Rann, Nicholas James Lewis, Jenni Lush, Alexander Delamere, Kim McGarrity

  It's hard to think of two films more disparate than 28 Days and 28 Days Later. The feel-good rehab story 28 Days (2000) stars Sandra Bollock as an American newspaper columnist who is court-ordered to spend four weeks in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. The popular zombie horror film 28 Days Later (2002) focuses on four survivors of a highly contagious virus that has ravaged the United Kingdom.

  While both films are full of hard choices and drama, the stakes are unarguably higher in the more recent film. 
• 

  (#2) The Deep Blue Sea

  • Rachel Weisz, Tom Hiddleston, Simon Russell Beale, Oliver Ford Davies, Karl Johnson, Barbara Jefford, Ann Mitchell, Mark Tandy, Stuart McLoughlin, Sarah Kants, Harry Hadden-Paton, Nicolas Amer, Jolyon Coy

  With nearly identical titles, Deep Blue Sea (1999) and The Deep Blue Sea (2011) are super easy to confuse. The American sci-fi/horror film Deep Blue Sea follows a group of scientists who fall prey to the sharks they're researching. Terence Davies’s more popular British romantic-drama The Deep Blue Sea is an adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s 1952 play of the same name, and is about an affair between the wife of a judge and a former Royal Air Force pilot. 

   

  However, the similarities between the two flicks stops with their names.
• 

  (#3) Thirteen

  • Vanessa Hudgens, Evan Rachel Wood, Holly Hunter, Nikki Reed, Jeremy Sisto, Sarah Clarke, Deborah Kara Unger, Brady Corbet, Kevin Ian Pardue, D. W. Moffett, David Patykewich, Steven Kozlowski, Angelique Bates, Mo McRae, Tessa Ludwick, Cynthia Ettinger, Jamison Yang, David Tran, Yasmine Delawari, Sarah Blakley-Cartwright, Jenicka Carey, Benjamin Anderson, Jordan Elliott, CeCe Tsou, Charles Duckworth, Cynthia Nibler, Java Benson, Honore Sato, Ulysses Estrada, Brandy Rainey, Frank Merino, Alden Wallace, Jasmine Di Angelo, Hampton

  Despite having identical names, these two films couldn’t be more different. Writer/director Catherine Hardwicke’s first film, Thirteen (2003), is a coming-of-age teen drama about two 13 year olds who experiment with drugs, sex, and petty crime. The lesser-known 13 (2011) stars Sam Riley, Ray Winstone, 50 Cent, and Mickey Rourke, and features a story that is anything but pubescent.

  In terms of reception, 13 falls far behind Thirteen, as the teen film fares 73% better on Rotten Tomatoes than the crime drama. 

   
• 

  (#4) Room

  • Brie Larson, Jacob Tremblay, Joan Allen, Sean Bridgers, William H. Macy

  With the 2017 release of James Franco’s parody film, The Disaster Artist, the cultural relevance of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room (2003) reemerged. The cult hit was written, directed, and produced by Wiseau, who also stars in the film, and follows the love triangle created when Wiseau's character's wife tries to seduce his best friend. The work is frequently labeled "the worst movie ever made," and is pretty much only ever viewed ironically.

  Although the titles are almost identical, Room (2015) managed to collect an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and many other awards. Based on Emma Donoghue’s internationally best-selling novel, the film stars Brie Larson, and details the story of a mother who raises a child while being held captive in a small outbuilding. 
• 

  (#5) Crash

  • Holly Hunter, James Spader, Rosanna Arquette, Elias Koteas, Deborah Kara Unger, Peter MacNeill, Boyd Banks, Nicky Guadagni, Judah Katz, John Stoneham Jr., Markus Parilo, Alice Poon, Ronn Sarosiak, Cheryl Swarts, Yolande Julian

  Although these two films have identical titles, they tell shockingly different stories. 2004's Crash won an Oscar for Best Picture, and tells several interweaving tales that are connected by fateful accidents. Pretty much all of the car crashes in the film are realistically tragic, and some of the later moments are absolutely heartbreaking to watch. 

  Then there's the 1996 cult film Crash, which follows a group of people who are sexually aroused by brutal car accidents. There's definitely a good bit of road rage in both films, but the tone in which the incidents are presented is considerably less mournful in the '90s movie. 
• 

  (#6) Snatch

  • Brad Pitt, Benicio del Toro, Vinnie Jones, Guy Ritchie, Sol Campbell, Jason Flemyng, Goldie, Stephen Graham, Julianne Nicholson, Dennis Farina, Lennie James, Ewen Bremner, Rade Šerbedžija, Alan Ford, Dave Legeno, Sam Douglas, Adam Fogerty, Sorcha Cusack, Mike Reid, Peter Rnic, Robbie Gee, Christopher Fosh, Tom Delmar, Velibor Topić, Ade, William Beck, Austin Drage, Eric Meyers, Nicola Collins, Charles Cork, Jason Ninh Cao, Peter Szakacs, Tony Tang, Trevor Steedman, Scott Welch, Jimmy Roussounis, James Cunningham, Elwin Chopper David, Yuri Stepanov, Teena Collins, Kriss Sprules, Liam McMahon, Andy Beckwith, Paul O'Boyle, Chuck Julian, John Taheny, Andy Shield, Sid Hoare, John Farnell, Roy Snell, Jason Buckham, Mickey Cantwell, Shaun Pearson, Michael Hughes, Jim Warren, Ronald Isaac, Mick Theo, Liam Donaghy, Tim Faraday, Sidney Sedin, Mickey Dee, Andy Till, Joe Williams, Andy Skinner, Dean Batchelor, Dean Smith

  Since it was released in 2000, Snatch has achieved cult classic status, and is commonly brought up in the same breath as movies like Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Layer Cake. The film is is set in the criminal underworld of Britain, and is equal parts goofy comedy and gritty drama.

  While the creators of 2017's Snatched would probably appreciate having their film described in such a way, it will almost certainly not be as well remembered. The more recent movie stars Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn, who are kidnapped while on vacation in Ecuador, and the resulting story is remarkably bigoted, even by Schumer's standards. 
• 

  (#7) Taxi Driver

  • Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Martin Scorsese, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Victor Argo, Joe Spinell, Diahnne Abbott, Debbi Morgan, Harry Northup, Leonard Harris, Murray Moston, Norman Matlock, Bob Maroff, Victor Magnotta, Beau Kazer, Brenda Dickson, Mary-Pat Green, Bill Minkin, Trent Gough, Frank Adu, James J. Mapes, Nicholas Shields, Richard Higgs, Harry Cohn, Joseph Bergmann, Ralph S. Singleton, Peter Savage, Tommy Ardolino, Gino Ardito, Jean Elliot, Harlan Cary Poe, Nat Grant, Harry Fischler, William Donovan, Maria Turner, Annie Gagen, Billie Perkins, Gene Palma, Copper Cunningham, Robin Utt, Steven Prince, Garth Avery

  The differences between these taxi-named films are substantial. Martin Scorsese’s neo-noir psychological thriller Taxi Driver (1976) stars powerhouse Robert De Niro, introduces a young Jodie Foster, and was nominated for four Oscars. The 2004 film Taxi is an action/comedy that stars Queen Latifah, Jimmy Fallon, and Gisele Bündchen.

   

  While there are still plenty of guns, only one of these taxi rides ends in a total bloodbath. 
• 

  (#8) Seven

  • Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, R. Lee Ermey, Charles S. Dutton, John C. McGinley, Richard Schiff, Richard Roundtree, Mark Boone Junior, Leland Orser, Michael Massee, Richard Portnow, Bob Stephenson, John Cassini, Reg E. Cathey, Peter Crombie, Emily Wagner, Endre Hules, Richmond Arquette, Lennie Loftin, Hawthorne James, Daniel Zacapa, Alan Migicovski, George Christy, Andrew Kevin Walker, Dominique Jennings, Harris Savides, Gene Borkan, Shannon Wilcox, Alfonso Freeman, Lexie Bigham, Charles A. Tamburro, James Deeth, Heidi Schanz, Michael Reid MacKay, Brian Evers, Tudor Sherrard, David Correia, Duffy Gaver, Pamala Tyson, Evan Mirand, Bob Collins, Paul Eckstein, Rachel Flanagan, Mario Di Donato, Julie Araskog, Grigori, Martin Serene, Jimmy Dale Hartsell, John Santin, Beverly Burke, William Davidson, Ron Blair, Cat Mueller, Bob Mack, Charline Su, Harrison White, Sarah Reinhardt

  Seven Pounds (2008) stars Will Smith as Tim Thomas, who poses as an IRS agent to help change seven people's lives for the better. After causing a horrific traffic accident that led to the death of his wife, Thomas is determined to make amends by helping people who are struggling, and even goes so far as to kill himself so that his organs can be donated to a person in need. The story is both heartbreaking and moving, and demonstrates the basic compassion that exists within the spirit of humanity. 

  While the 1995 film Seven also involves an individual who impacts the lives of seven strangers, that's about as far as the parallels go. In David Fincher's psychological thriller, a mysterious serial killer models his sadistic murders after the seven deadly sins. The victim assigned gluttony is forced to eat until his stomach explodes, and sloth is strapped to a bed, causing his body to atrophy. After finishing this film, viewers will most likely stop believing in the concept of basic compassion. 
• 

  (#9) Lake Placid

  • Betty White, Mariska Hargitay, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, Bill Pullman, Natassia Malthe, Ty Olsson, Meredith Salenger, David Lewis, Tim Dixon

  The titles of these two wildly different films are separated by three little words. The 1999 monster film Lake Placid follows three people who are on a mission to stop a man-eating crocodile that's terrorizing locals at the fictional Black Lake, ME. Despite its more forceful title, the Australian film The Rage in Placid Lake (2003) is a comedy about a neglected 17-year-old named Placid Lake (Ben Lee) who has horrifically bohemian parents (hence his “unique” name).
• 

  (#10) Antz

  • Jennifer Lopez, Sylvester Stallone, Sharon Stone, Woody Allen, Christopher Walken, Dan Aykroyd, Gene Hackman, Anne Bancroft, Danny Glover, Jane Curtin, John Mahoney, Jim Cummings, Paul Mazursky, April Winchell, Grant Shaud, Jerry Sroka, Marty Sixkiller

  Both these late '90s films are about the secret lives of insects, but they’re created by two rival animation studios. DreamWorks Pictures's first animated film, Antz (1998), is about an ant who tries to save his totalitarian colony, while Disney/Pixar's A Bug’s Life (1998) is about an ant who tries to save his colony from evil grasshoppers with the help of an eclectic group of bug friends. Both films were released in the same year, and the studios fought publicly about the similarities in characters and plot.
• 

  (#11) The Prestige

  • Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Piper Perabo, Rebecca Hall, Andy Serkis, Ricky Jay, Roger Rees, Edward Hibbert, Daniel Davis, Jim Piddock, Jamie Harris, William Morgan Sheppard, Christopher Neame, Gary Sievers, Ezra Buzzington, Mark Ryan, Enn Reitel, Chao-Li Chi, Ron Perkins, Sam Menning, Anthony DeMarco, James Lancaster, Basil McCurry, Russ Fega, James Otis, Ernest Heinz, Julia Sanford, Wendy Rosoff, Inna Swann, Zoe Merg, Olivia Merg, Kevin Will, Jodi Bianca Wise, Brian Tahash, Samantha Mahurin, Chris Cleveland, Monty Stuart, Jesse Wilde, John B. Crye, Tim Pilleri, Clive Kennedy, Deanna Lynn Walsh, Rob Arbogast, Erin Cipolletti, Sean Howse, Gregory Humphreys, Christopher Judges, J. Paul Moore, Johnny Liska, Scott Davis, Nikki Glick

  These mystery/dramas were released within two months of each other, and both center on the lives of 19th century magicians in Europe. In writer/director Neil Burger’s The Illusionist (2006), the plot focuses on one magician’s attempt to use his special skills to wind up with the love of his life.

  In contrast to this, Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige (2006) is no romance story. Based on Christopher Priest’s 1995 novel of the same name, the the film explores the obsessions and rivalry shared by two stage magicians, who are played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Despite having starkly different plots, both films received relatively equal reception from critics and viewers, so perhaps audiences just cared about the magic elements. 
• 

  (#12) I'm Still Here

  • Antony Chester Langdon

  The confusion of these two films might actually have been intentional. I’m Still Here (2010) is a mockumentary co-conceived by Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix. The now-notorious work follows an allegedly down-trodden Phoenix as he (fake) quits acting and (pretend) tries to pursue a hip-hop career. You’ll likely remember Phoenix’s train-wreck of a David Letterman appearance. Then there's the similarly named Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There (2007). The film is a fictional recreation of Dylan's life that's based on real events, and the folk singer is portrayed by six different actors. 
• 

  (#13) 8½

  • Claudia Cardinale, Marcello Mastroianni, Barbara Steele, Nino Rota, Anouk Aimée, Sandra Milo, Eugene Walter, Guido Alberti, Eddra Gale, Madeleine LeBeau, Mino Doro, Caterina Boratto, Ferdinand Guillaume, Giulio Paradisi, Edward Fleming, John Stacy, Mario Pisu, Abdalqadir as-Sufi, Rossella Falk, Mathilda Calnan, Rossella Como, Antonio Acqua, Neil Robinson, Georgia Simmons, Roberto Nicolosi, Olimpia Cavalli, Giulio Calì, Maria Antonietta Beluzzi, Nadia Sanders, Gilda Dahlberg, Jean Rougeul, Annibale Ninchi, Franco Caracciolo, Mark Herron, Giuditta Rissone, Edy Vessel, Marisa Colomber, Maria Tedeschi, Annie Gorassini, Dina de Santis, Luciana Sanseverino, Elisabetta Cini, Frazier Rippy, John Karlsen, Gideon Bachman, Francesco Rigamonti, John Francis Lane, Sonia Gessner, Agnes Bonfanti, Tito Masini, Sebastiano De Leandro, Roberta Valli, Mario Conocchia, Cesarino Miceli Picardi, Deena Boyer, Anna Caramini, Valentina Lang, Elisabetta Catalano, Hazel Rogers, Eva Gioia, Grazia Frasnelli, Flaminia Torlonia, Mario Tarchetti, Riccardo Guglielmi, Yvonne Casadei, Maria Wertmuller, Annarosa Lattuada, Bruno Agostini, Alfredo De Lafeld, Maria Raimondi, Palma Mangini, Vadim Wolkowsky, Mary Indovino, Marco Gemini

  Despite being less than one prime number apart from one another, the surrealist Italian film 8 ½  bares little resembles to the generally forgotten animated adventure 9. The earlier movie is a staple of the film school experience, and follows the life of a director who is struggling to make a new movie. When it was released in 1963, this sort of meta storytelling was quite novel, and the film is remembered for playing with the rules of cinematic reality in a groundbreaking manner. 

  Rather than aim for something original, 9 tried its best to convince audiences that it was a Tim Burton film. No one bought it, and the film received a 57% on Rotten Tomatoes when it was released in 2009. 
• 

  (#14) 12 Strong

  • Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Geoff Stults, Thad Luckinbill, William Fichtner, Taylor Sheridan, Rob Riggle

  When it was released in 2013, 12 Years A Slave took home the Oscar for Best Picture; the film is a gut-wrenching period piece that chronicles an especially shameful portion of American history. Based on the memoir of Solomon Northup — a free-born African American man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841 — it's a hard film to watch without feeling some amount of resentment towards the United States, hasn't moved far enough from its racist beginnings. 

  The 2018 film 12 Strong takes the exact opposite approach to a historical narrative, and centers its story on the idea of American exceptionalism. The film takes place in the months following September 11, 2001, and stars a team of CIA and special forces agents who were first sent to Afghanistan. The team doesn't accomplish too much, and the film glosses over how unnecessary the conflict — which caused the deaths of over half a million people — was. 
• 

  (#15) No Strings Attached

  • Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher, Kevin Kline, Ludacris, Lake Bell, Mindy Kaling, Stefanie Scott, Nasim Pedrad, Abby Elliott, Olivia Thirlby, Greta Gerwig, Ophelia Lovibond, Cary Elwes, Tim Matheson, Ivan Reitman, Talia Balsam, Vedette Lim, Seth Morris, Jake M. Johnson, Ric Govea, Gary David Goldberg, Katrina Norman, Mollee Gray, Matthew Moy, Adhir Kalyan, Jennifer Irwin, Ben Lawson, Lydia Blanco, Elizabeth Meriwether, Kherington Payne, Tyne Stecklein, Tom Tangen, Shaun Russell, Stephane Nicoli, Guy Branum, Brian Dierker, Armen Weitzman, Nealla Gordon, Jonathan Sanders, Hugo, Thomas F. Evans, Robert Trapp, Kc Monnie, Rachael Markarian, Morgan Lambert, Krystal Ellsworth, Dylan Hayes, Michael J Long, Jennifer Hamilton, Philippe Badreau, Paula Van Oppen, January Adams, Megan Honore, Rachel McDermott, Nick Lanzisera, Britt Stewart, William T. Loftis, Jason Williams, Joshua Andreacola, Ben Lautman, Dalphe Morantus, Milton Greenberg, Derek Ferguson, Jay Barclay, Heather Phillips, Kim Marko Germar, Moira 'Anjolie' Marfori, Kym Connor, Renna Bartlett

  The concept behind these two films is the same: two friends start sleeping together and attempt to resist falling for one another. The main (and basically only) difference is the cast. No Strings Attached (2011) stars Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher, while Friends With Benefits (2011) stars Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. In a strange twist of fate, Kutcher and Kunis ended up marrying each other in real life.
• 

  (#16) Drive

  • Christina Hendricks, Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Ron Perlman, Albert Brooks, Oscar Isaac, Andy San Dimas, Russ Tamblyn, John Pyper-Ferguson, Joe Pingue, Tiara Parker, Jeff Wolfe, Joe Bucaro, James Biberi, Cesar Garcia, Tina Huang, Ralph Lawler, Sarah Adela Tirado, Chris Muto, Mara LaFontaine, Tim Trella, Kenny Richards, Craig Baxley Jr., Jim Hart, Steve Knoll, Teonee Thrash, Rachel Belle, Dieter 'Dietman' Busch, Kaden Leos

  These two crime films are likely to confuse viewers, as both feature handsome, soft-spoken getaway drivers and have identical 93% ratings Rotten Tomatoes. In Drive (2011), a bomber-jacketed Ryan Gosling plays an unnamed stuntman/mechanic who moonlights as a getaway driver, and who speaks only 116 lines in the entire film. In Edgar Wright’s action film Baby Driver (2017), Ansel Elgort stars as Baby, an earbud-wearing youth who’s coerced into working as a getaway driver.
• 

  (#17) Footloose

  • Sarah Jessica Parker, Kevin Bacon, John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Chris Penn, Lori Singer, Timothy Scott, Brian Wimmer, John Laughlin, Frances Lee McCain, Lynne Marta, Jim Youngs, Arthur Rosenberg, Leo Geter, Mary Ethel Gregory, John Bishop, Elizabeth Gorcey, Sam Dalton, Oscar Rowland, Gene Pack, Deborah Frazier, Brian L. McCarty, Alan Haufrect, H.E.D. Redford, Linda MacEwen, Jay Bernard, Ken Kemp, Russ McGinn, Marcia Reider, Michael Telmont, David Valenza, Mimi Broadhead, Melissa Renee Graehl, John Perryman, Meghan Broadhead, Alison Trouse, Monica M. Da Silva, Terri Gay Ulmer, Carmen Trevino, J. Paul Broadhead, Kim Jensen

  Some of the best dance movies came out in the ’80s, including the similarly titled films Flashdance (1983) and Footloose (1984). While one of these musical romantic-dramas earned an Oscar for Best Original Song, the other has perhaps — like its star, Kevin Bacon — aged better with audiences.

  The arguably more popular Footloose sees Bacon play a rebellious Chicago teen who moves to a small town that has banned rock music and dancing. Its predecessor, Flashdance, stars Jennifer Beals as a teenage welder and exotic dancer who harbors dreams of becoming a pro. Despite negative reviews (Roger Ebert placed it on his most-hated films list), Flashdance was a hit at the box office, and became the third highest-grossing film in the US that year.

  (#18) Flightplan

  • Jodie Foster, Matt Bomer, Sean Bean, Erika Christensen, Peter Sarsgaard, Greta Scacchi, Haley Ramm, John Benjamin Hickey, Michael Irby, Stephanie Faracy, Forrest Landis, Brent Sexton, Assaf Cohen, Christian Berkel, Kate Beahan, Agnes Olech, Kirk B. R. Woller, Judith Scott, Shane Edelman, Rachel Zeskind, Amanda Brooks, Laurence Richardson, Marlene Lawston, Lois Hall, Bess Wohl, Christopher Gartin, Gavin Grazer, A.J. Presley, Erica LaRose, Andray Johnson, Cathy Immordino, Cooper Thornton, Jesse Burch, Mary Gallagher, Robert Amstler, Hasan Ali Mete, Luis Juarez, Tarek Antonio Alin, Klaus Schindler, Drake Johnston, Kei Hirayama, Jana Kolesarova, Christian Reeve, Dirk Vahle, Spencer Conner, Eva Plackner, Tricia Cruz, Jonn Faircrest, Ina Barron, David Farkas, Tonje Larsgard, Julie McKinnon, Robert Mammana, Conny Poppe, Alexandra Nowak

  Flightplan came out in September of 2005, and stars Jodie Foster living every parent's worst nightmare. After falling asleep on an especially long flight, she wakes up to find that her child has gone missing. To make matters worse, no one on the crew remembers her boarding the plane with a child, and she is labeled crazy. In the end, it turns out that the friendly airline Marshall was the one who kidnapped her daughter, and that several members of the flight crew were in on it as well. 

  Red Eye released one month prior in August of 2005, and cuts out the middleman by having Cillian Murphy kidnap Rachel McAdams on an overnight flight. While Red Eye does feature some scenes that are not set on an aircraft, the two films share a remarkably similar hook, and tend to run together in the annals of time. 
• 

  (#19) The Fugitive

  • Julianne Moore, Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Jane Lynch, Sela Ward, Joe Pantoliano, Nick Searcy, Richard Riehle, Neil Flynn, Otis Wilson, Kirsten Nelson, Jeroen Krabbé, Daniel Roebuck, Andreas Katsulas, L. Scott Caldwell, Dick Cusack, Lester Holt, Mike Bacarella, David Pasquesi, Suzy Brack, Ron Dean, Andy Romano, Eddie Bo Smith Jr., Thomas Mills Wood, David Darlow, Roland Burris, Jim Wilkey, John M. Watson, Sr., Danny Goldring, Kevin Mukherji, Gene Barge, Reese Foster, Keith Schrader, Kevin Crowley, Greg Hollimon, Pancho Demmings, John Thurner, Allen Hamilton, Juan Ramírez, John-Clay Scott, Joe Guzaldo, Ann Whitney, Turk Muller, Joseph F. Kosala, Bill Cusack, Ed Cray, Miguel Nino, Nicholas Kusenko, Mark Damon Espinoza, Ken Moreno, Joe Guastaferro, Michael James, Bruce L. Gewertz, Cynthia Baker, Michael Skewes, Sal Richards, David U. Hodges, Joel Robinson, Theron Touché Lykes, Cheryl Lynn Bruce, Jay Levine, B.J. Jones, Pam Zekman, Joe D. Lauck, Wendy George, Lillie Richardson, Orlando García, Gene Kelly, Thomas Charles Simmons, John Drummond, Frank Ray Perilli, Lily Monkus, Marie Ware, Margaret Moore, Todd Rice, Oksana Fedunyszyn, Noelle Bou-Sliman, Tighe Barry, James F. McKinsey, Tom Galouzis, Thom Vernon, Ana María Alvarez, Joan Kohn, Dru Anne Carlson, Afram Bill Williams, Eric Fudala, Lonnie Sima, Eugene F. Crededio, Peter J. Caria IV, Cody Glenn, Maurice Person, Willie Lucas, Richard Remppel, John E. Ellis, Brent Shaphren, James Liautaud, Alex P. Hernandez, Johnny Lee Davenport, Bernard McGee, Stephen A. Landsman, Robert Dean Jacobs, Linda Casaletto, Ila Cathleen Stallings, Monika Chabrowski, Steven Lilovich, Joseph F. Fisher, Manny Lopez, Terry Hard, Don Albert, Roxanne Roberts, Joseph Rotkvich, Tony Fosco

  In his prime, Harrison Ford churned out tons of highly watchable films. From 1977-1995, he starred in one film a year, including such hits as Blade Runner, Apocalypse Now, and the Indiana Jones trilogy. While many of his roles were memorable, some of his more generically gruff parts easily run together. 

  Witness came out in 1985, and sees Ford go undercover in an Amish community to help protect a young boy who was present for a murder. In The Fugitive (1993), Ford is wrongfully accused of a murdering his wife, and has to go into hiding while attempting to hunt down the true killer. If someone were to cut together random scenes from these two films, the result could easily pass as a single work, since even Ford's outfits look eerily identical.

  (#20) No Country for Old Men

  • Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones, Woody Harrelson, Josh Brolin, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Stephen Root, Beth Grant, Tess Harper, Barry Corbin, Jason Douglas, Luce Rains, Brandon Smith, Caleb Landry Jones, Kathy Lamkin, Thomas Kopache, Myk Watford, Matthew Posey, Rodger Boyce, Boots Southerland, Albert Fry Jr., Josh Blaylock, Johnnie Hector, Chris Warner, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339472/, Rutherford Cravens, Ana Reeder, Margaret Bowman, Josh Meyer, Marc Miles, Scott Flick, Doris Hargrave, Trent Moore, Roland Uribe, Dorsey Ray, Gene Jones, Kit Gwin, Zach Hopkins, Richard Jackson, Angelo Martinez, Eduardo Antonio Garcia, Elizabeth Slagsvol, George Adelo, Eric Reeves, Milton Hernandez, John Mancha, Chip Love, David A. Gomez, Angel H. Alvarado Jr., Philip Bentham

  Because these films had the misfortune of being released in the same year (both were also nominated for Best Picture at the 2008 Oscars), they’re often confused for one another. However the Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men (2007) is arguably more acclaimed than There Will Be Blood (2007), as the film ended up winning Best Picture, in addition to several other Oscars.

  Adapted from Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 novel, the neo-Western thriller No Country for Old Men tells the story of a drug deal gone wrong, and introduces the world to the horrific Anton Chigurh, a monstrous hitman who lacks a concious. Writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson's drama There Will Be Blood is based on Upton Sinclair's novel Oil!, and takes place nearly a hundred years prior to No Country. In the film, Daniel Day-Lewis plays a prospector turned oil tycoon who is arguably just as evil as Chigurh.
