Swimming With Sharks (1994)
This could pass for a hard-hitting film as it tells the story of Buddy Ackerman, played by Kevin Spacey, a ruthless movie executive, and the bumbling Guy (Frank Whaley), his assistant. The movie had some great moments and scenes but for many, it seems a little too much on the “hit and miss” aspect. But, the work the team put in was really good.
Why You Should Watch: Do you know Lester Burnham? Well, Kevin Spacey did a great job by putting on a “bitter version” of Burnham – sounds intriguing, right? He might seem heartless but his truths are what you need to incline to.

Jackie Brown (1997)
Pam Grier’s career was re-ignited with this Quentin Tarantino’s Elmore Leonard crime adaptation film. Grier played the role of moonlighting air stewardess, Jackie Brown. It had some major highlights such as the moment Jackie is caught by the FBI trying to smuggle cash for a “wannabe” bad guy, Ordell Robey, played by Samuel L. Jackson. This film seems like a follow-up to the 1994 film, Pulp Fiction, which would have already had Brown’s work set for her. Many people believed it was a little too drawn out, especially at the end.
Why You Should Watch: As the movie goes on and pulls closer to the end, you will see a better side to Grier’s performance – just amazing and close to perfection!
