Together they go on a quest for the Holy Grail, each finally gaining peace of mind once it is found.
2. (2003) Jeff Bridges and Tobey Maguire are two of the three men who have an awful lot invested in an under-sized racehorse that possesses more heart than most. Set in the Depression, this movie was based on a true story.
3. (2002) Tobey Maguire plays a young high school student whose life undergoes unimaginable (and some would say unbelievable) changes when two life-altering incidents occur. First he is bitten by a genetically-modified arachnid, and then his uncle is killed by a criminal. Kirsten Dunst plays the love interest that is never meant to be.
4. (1994) Immortalized when just a child, Kirsten Dunst's character will never grow older. Brad Pitt plays Louis de Pointe du Lac, another of her kind who wants to cherish and protect her. Based on a novel by Anne Rice, this movie chronicles Pitt's frustrations, as he tells his story of immortality.

Once in Japan their charge manages to escape, and they quickly learn that they have to play by a whole new set of rules, if they have any chance at all of recapturing him.
7. (1989) Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito star in this black comedy about the nasty things that can happen when a marriage goes bad.

8. (1975) Danny DeVito and Jack Nicholson star in this wonderfully funny film about a man who thinks he can make his jail sentence easier if he can get himself transferred to an insane asylum. His rebellious attitude towards the strict rules on his ward brightens up the lives of his fellow inmates, but also rattles the chain of the head nurse...and she never loses.
9. (1992) Col. Nathan Jessup, played by Jack Nicholson, gives an order that results in the accidental death of a marine under his command in Cuba.

Mathew Markinson, Jessup's second-in-command, who ends up killing himself because of his unwilling involvement in the incident.
10. (1987) J.T Walsh and Robin Williams star in this funny, yet disturbing, movie about a disc jockey who gets assigned to a tour of duty in Vietnam.
