Best Matthew McConaughey role?

Out of fairness, I will not mention the fact that I'm watching TNT right now.

13. Best MM Line ever...

Wooderson: "Hey, man-- got a joint?"

Freshman: "Uh... no, man. Not on me"

Wooderson: "Be cool if you did..."

Best MM Line ever...

2. The attorney in A Time to Kill.

That's what you're watching, right?

[pokerfan]

6. Yep

I want to tell you a story. I'm going to ask you all to close your eyes while I tell you the story. I want you to listen to me. I want you to listen to yourselves. Go ahead. Close your eyes, please. This is a story about a little girl walking home from the grocery store one sunny afternoon. I want you to picture this little girl. Suddenly a truck races up. Two men jump out and grab her. They drag her into a nearby field and they tie her up and they rip her clothes from her body. Now they climb on. First one, then the other, raping her, shattering everything innocent and pure with a vicious thrust in a fog of drunken breath and sweat. And when they're done, after they've killed her tiny womb, murdered any chance for her to have children, to have life beyond her own, they decide to use her for target practice. They start throwing full beer cans at her. They throw them so hard that it tears the flesh all the way to her bones. Then they urinate on her. Now comes the hanging. They have a rope. They tie a noose. Imagine the noose going tight around her neck and with a sudden blinding jerk she's pulled into the air and her feet and legs go kicking. They don't find the ground. The hanging branch isn't strong enough. It snaps and she falls back to the earth. So they pick her up, throw her in the back of the truck and drive out to Foggy Creek Bridge. Pitch her over the edge. And she drops some thirty feet down to the creek bottom below. Can you see her? Her raped, beaten, broken body soaked in their urine, soaked in their semen, soaked in her blood, left to die. Can you see her? I want you to picture that little girl. Now imagine she's white.

8. One of the best scenes ever.

You know, in the book, it was a female juror who said that. Gave me chills, but then, so did MC in the movie.

[pokerfan]

9. Yeah, I've read all the novels

But having him deliver the speech was more cinematic.

Books can afford the luxury of more characters.

A film gets ninety minutes.

10. Just finished watching it too...

very powerful movie.

[alphafemale]

11. That role was made for him.

He was great in it.

Now close your eyes and imagine the attorney was Keanu.

Scary....eh?

[ceile]

15. Agreed.

He was excellent.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

17. Yes, that was his best

Although I haven't seen all of his movies, but that was the best of the ones I've seen.

4. Contact - Palmer Joss, then maybe: Tiptoes - Steven Bedalia...

but generally the guy bugs the shot out-ta me x(

[begin_within]

12. He was excellent in "Contact," as was Jodie Foster, but there was

absolutely NO chemistry between them. I guess he's not Jodie's type. But at least they each did their separate roles brilliantly.

[MissMillie]

14. I agree

not to mention that that story didn't need a love interest angle. It was a good story on its own.

[SteppingRazor]

18. He's not Jodie's type? Gee, ya think?

;)

[begin_within]

20. I was hoping people would read between the lines...

16. 2x4

19. The movies that he didn't appear in.
