RAY ELWOOD - BUFFALO SOLDIERS (2001) Film Synopsis: Set on an American Army base in 1989, as the Berlin Wall is about to fall, "Buffalo Soldiers" takes a satiric look as these men steal, drink, fight, and make, take, and sell drugs. Elwood (Joaquin Phoenix) is the brains behind the operation, easily duping his superior (Ed Harris) and sleeping with his wife. But with the arrival of the new sergeant (Scott Glenn), everything changes. The sergeant cracks down; Elwood retaliates by dating his daughter and attempting a big weapons-for-drugs deal. 13.66 ALEX: 13 - From this trailer, I cannot figure out the tone of this movie at all.

JIMMY EMMETT - TO DIE FOR (1995) Film Synopsis: Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) is a weather reporter at her small-town cable station, but she dreams of being a big-time news anchor.

For this, she enlists Jimmy (Joaquin Phoenix), a high school boy who is enamored with her. The plan doesn't work exactly as she intended, though, and her husband's family starts to suspect that she was involved in his death. 12.66 ANDY: 11 CHRIS: 13 ALEX: 14 - Omg not Joaquin and Nicole Kidman .

The budding artist soon finds himself with a new lease on life when his edgy and irreverent newspaper cartoons gain a national and devoted following. 12 CHRIS: 10 ALEX: 12 - I've never seen it, but I should because I wanna see more comedies with Joaquin. ANDY: 14 11. GARRY BUCKMAN - PARENTHOOD (1989) Film Synopsis: Perfectionist Gil Buckman (Steve Martin) struggles with the deficiencies of his children, thinking they reflect poorly on his parenting -- and Gil's siblings only add to the stress of his life.

Another (Harley Jane Kozak) clashes with her husband (Rick Moranis) when she asks for more children. Gil's immature brother (Tom Hulce) turns up as well, with a young son he can barely handle. Joaquin Phoenix plays the pubescent son of Dianne Wiest's character Helen. 10.66 ALEX: 6 - Omg I just watched a clip! He's so young! Great acting from him from such a young age.

The Sisters brothers find themselves on a journey through the Northwest, bringing them to the mountains of Oregon, a dangerous brothel in the small town of Mayfield, and eventually, the gold rush land of California -- an adventure that tests the deadly family ties that bind. 10.33 ALEX: 10 - It looked fine, but I didn't have much interest in seeing it. ANDY: 10 CHRIS: 11 9.

When Mickey and Shasta both disappear, Doc navigates a psychedelic world of surfers, stoners and cops to solve the case. 10 ANDY: 7 ALEX: 11 - The movie's pretentious as f*ck. Joaquin's fine I guess.

COMMODUS - GLADIATOR (2000) Film Synopsis: Set in Roman times, the story of a once-powerful general forced to become a common gladiator. The emperor's son is enraged when he is passed over as heir in favour of his father's favourite general.

I don't love this movie, but I love him here. ANDY: 5 CHRIS: 9 4. ARTHUR FLECK / JOKER - JOKER (2019) Film Synopsis: Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks -- the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker. Joaquin Phoenix won the Oscar for Best Actor for this role. 5 ANDY: 3 CHRIS: 4 ALEX: 8 - Throwing it smack dab in the middle. Yes Joaquin's great in it, no the movie's not that great, and no he's not nearly as good as Heath Ledger. Imma still pretend he won the Oscar for The Master. 3. THEODORE TWOMBLY - HER (2013) Film Synopsis: A sensitive and soulful man earns a living by writing personal letters for other people. Left heartbroken after his marriage ends, Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) becomes fascinated with a new operating system which reportedly develops into an intuitive and unique entity in its own right.

While on tour, Cash meets the love of his life, singer June Carter (Reese Witherspoon), but Cash's volatile lifestyle threatens to keep them apart. Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Actor for this role, and he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for this role too. 2 ANDY: 1 CHRIS: 1 ALEX: 4 - While this is totally Reese Witherspoon's movie in my mind, he's still great! 1. FREDDIE QUELL - THE MASTER (2012) Film Synopsis: Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is a troubled, boozy drifter struggling with the trauma of World War II and whatever inner demons ruled his life before that. On a fateful night in 1950, Freddie boards a passing boat and meets Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic leader of a religious movement called the Cause. Freddie tries hard to adhere to Dodd's weird teachings and forms a close bond with his mentor, even as other members of Dodd's inner circle see him as a threat.
