Best & Worst: Kevin Smith
15 years of highs and lows with the king of stoner cinema

Best & Worst: Cameo
The Best: Alanis Morisette is God
Film: Dogma (1999)
Why It Rocks: No wonder he received death threats for his iconoclastic move into big-budget movies. Kevin Smith popped the blasphemous cherry atop his Catholic-baiting cake by casting rock singer Alanis Morisette as the Lord Almighty.
This annoyed hard-line religious type and people still smarting over the inaccuracies in the song Ironic in equal measure.
The Worst: Mark Hammill As The Cock-Knocker
Film: Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Why It Sucks: Oh, the shame. Did he really need the cash that much? Kevin casts one of his heroes Mark Hamill as himself/campy baddie the Cock-Knocker for Strike Back’s climactic fight scene.
Yep, that’s Luke blimmin’ Skywalker sporting an oversized fist, blue eye make-up and a manky Manga wig. The Force is not strong in this one.
