The Friend: Courteney Cox
The Movie: A sequel to the first Scream was always inevitable – especially as writer Kevin Williamson had a trilogy game plan from the outset. And thanks to Scream 2 acknowledging the perils of sequels and cannily twisting a knife in them, it actually matches its predecessor in smarts and thrills.
It’s not quite scarier, but it certainly has its moments. Returning as the delectably brusque Gale Weathers, Cox is pivotal in one heart-hammering moment as Gale is trapped in a sound booth and stalked by hack-happy Ghostface.
It’s Scream 2’s standout set piece (Cox goes from playing comedy to horror to grief all within the space of about five minutes), and the franchise has struggled to capture the same urgent sense of terror ever since.

I never thought I'd see the day where Masters of the Universe was voted as best of anything. Personally, I love that movie as it's soooooo c**p. Well done Me Winning, well done. Also, Office Space is without a doubt the best "friends" movie by far. Awesome soundtrack as well

The story so far...Aniston has done nothin to merit a place on the A-list apart from being formerly married to Brad Pitt and exisits to grace live-through-me celebritiy magazines like Grazia and Heat, Cox is rubbish in crapcom Cougar town, Kudrow has been doing good work in indie features and the US version of 'How do you think you are?' Leblanc grows fat and old off residuals, Perry was good in 'Sunset Strip' and turned up in Fallout: New Vegas (kudos!), and Schwimmer is fast becoming a crtically acclaimed director. So the breakout star has so far been.. ..Paget Brewster who played Cathy and now star in Criminal MInds..good for her!

Total Film seem to have a major chubby for Aniston she never seems to do anything wrong and although I have not heard of half her films they always seemto pop up. No matter how poor her films are she always seems to be the victim where the truth is she is in so many plain, similar boring films because she is a plain and boring actress. Cox is dreadful and just trying to play younger than she is (c**p in Scream and Cougartown was awful) Aniston is always the bloody same and Schwimmer was excellent in Band of Brothers and Kudrow was excellent in Wonderland. Le Blanc was good in Lost in Space playing a very familiar and linear part which Aniston plays all of the time and mostly poorly. Perry is c**p but he was in Fallout Vegas so fair play to him. Oh Scream 2 was disappointing and The Whole Nine Yards was appalling.

Hate to admit it but I liked Lost in Space and When fools rush in.

Give Le Blanc some credit for the recent tv show Episodes... he was funny in that playing himself up

Even though i really love "Friends", out of the six I have never seen a movie starring Jennifer Aniston. I just don't see why I would. Same sh*t, different movie.

Office Space is an inspired choice! I agree with Hadouken about Schwimmer, plus (even though it's not a movie) his turn in Band of Brothers was perfect.

What about Rock Star? The Mark Wahlberg movie which also had Aniston. I've not seen it but heard it was pretty good? No?

Where the hell was Matt LeBlanc in 'Ed'? Y'know, the baseball movie with the chimpanzee? Anyone?
