    He was good in The American. Some found it a slow movie but I liked it.

    I don't think he could have been any better in Batman and Robin. It's a truly diabolical film but he tries his best...

    Hey Mings, me too. It definitely deserves to be on this list. Clooney and Tarantino are an unbeatable combination.

    @Mings; I can't believe From Dusk Till Dawn ain't on this list. Admittedly, it's not the best film ever, but it's got some quality lines in it! "Everybody be cool... YOU be cool..."

    Where's Return To Horror High? That's definitely his best work! ;-)

    I deplore how you say Ocean's Twelve has sequelitis. It isn't much like the first one: it's hard to be charming with a powerful man after your head. So the gang is less spritely and basically becomes more threatened and problem-ridden, something that happens when everything is going wrong. And otherwise, it isn't lazy because no other film has a premise like this one. The strangest plot detail *could* be that Toulour has such a beef that he risks so much money. The fact that Ocean's men recruited outside help easily showed how Toulour got out of hand with his games in the end. Where the movie shined is the characters, all betrodden by the risk on their lives. The heist (attempts) often showed faults of each character, making the eventual victory a fantastic display of group fortitude. They basically all risk jail for each other, assuming things didn't end so well.. But some great scenes highlighted strange quirks, little bits of writing genius. Linus's struggle with Matsui, the issue with Ocean's age, Saul's reluctant (and truly strange) return to aid the group. Perhaps it's the lost romance angle that gets some people, but overall the entire group is a very strange and close-knit gang, which is the only thing that can make a heist movie interesting. I sometimes wonder if many people out there have given the movie a second chance. I had problems with the movie first time I saw it, but then I grew up.

    @mishterlusk- I'm not sure I agree with the Clooney/Tarantino work. It was a bit strange and uncomfortable- Clooney wanted to get away with it and kept his charm, Tarantino' s character was someone who came off as very despicable.
