Get Shorty (1995) is about a mobster-turned-Hollywood-producer. Starring Rene Russo, John Travolta, Delroy Lindo, Danny DeVito and Gene Hackman. This comedy was such a big hit, that ten years later they produced the equally-funny sequel Be Cool, with an updated cast. If you get the chance, it is well worth checking both of these out.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang came at the verge of Robert Downey Jr’s comeback tour, and is about a small-time criminal who manages to land a big movie part by mistakenly being in the right place at the right time. As research for the role, producers place him with a cop, played to hilarious degree by Val Kilmer.
If you happened to see the sequel to Mama Mia today and are still thirsting for more Meryl (and let’s face it: who isn’t?) — then HBO has got a cure for that. Check out It’s Complicated, a super cute romantic comedy starring Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin.
