- No Country for Old Men - the last scene alone is worth the price of admission
- The Fugitive
- Blown Away - great character with Jones as his most manic form
- Cobb
- Small Soldiers
Honorable mention - Captain America (not enough Jones), Under Siege (loads of Jones but too much non-Jones), Batman Forever (fun but a little too wacky), Men in Black
My favorite Steve Carrell movies (updating)
- Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy
- Dinner for Schmucks
- Crazy Stupid Love
- Despicable Me
- Bruce Almighty
Dishonorable mention: 40 Year Old Virgin and Little Miss Sunshine - hated them both
My favorite Meryl Streep movies
- Fantastic Mr. Fox
- Adaptation
- Manhattan
- Julie & Julia
- Death Becomes Her
I'm surprised at how few of her really well respected movies I've seen.
My favorite Ryan Gosling movies
- Drive
- Lars & the Real Girl
- Ides of March
- Crazy Stupid Love
- Blue Valentine - not enjoyable but excellently well made
My favorite Emma Stone movies
- Zombieland
- Superbad
- Zombieland
- House Bunny
- Friends With Benefits - the film's better than this ranking, but Stone's only in it for a minute, so I had to drag it down the list
Oh, and about the graphic...second hit when I searched for "five movies" on Google images. I really enjoyed her in Adventureland and thought she did a great job in Panic Room, but I'll admit that the latter didn't require her to do much more than suffer and look vacant - pretty much right in her wheelhouse as we've since learned.
