'Cause the Matrix hasn't aged well

Top five films made by The Matrix folks...note, these are my favorites...they do not, in any way, reflect upon the quality of the films themselves...

Keanu Reeves...
  1. The Devil's Advocate
  2. Scanner Darkly
  3. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
  4. The Matrix - upon initial viewing, this would have been #1, but the sequels and the surprisingly dated review this past week moved it down
  5. Constantine
Joe Pantoliano
    "The Sopranos" - were it a film, it would be a clear #1 choice
  1. Risky Business
  2. Bound
  3. Memento
  4. The Fugitive
  5. Goonies
    Honorable mention: The Matrix
    Dishonorable mention: Daredevil
Laurence Fishburne
  1. Apocalypse Now
  2. Boyz in the Hood
  3. The Matrix
  4. Mystic River
  5. We have to again leave the silver screen to reach "Pee Wee's Playhouse" where Laurence played Cowboy Curtis
Huge Weaving...
  1. LoTR: #3
  2. LoTR: #1
  3. V for Vendetta
  4. LoTR: #2
  5. The Matrix
    Honorable mention: The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
And we stretch a bit to find a fifth actor who has made enough films that I've seen...Carrie-Anne Moss...
  1. Memento
  2. The Matrix
  3. Chocolat
  4. The Matrix Reloaded
  5. The Matrix Revolutions

Is the order of the LOTR films your preference for Hugo Weaving's acting in each of the films or the order of your favorite LOTR films?

Did that make sense?

word verification:kaanuufd - when keeanu reeves makes a blooper while filming The Matrix.

uh, for Keanu, no Johnny Mnemonic?

Why not? I loved that film the first time around. Maybe upon further viewings it stumbles. It had me spellbound though.
