- Hot Fuzz. "Hot Fuzz" is perhaps a surprising pick for the top spot, but take a look at its critical and audience response on various aggregator sites and you'll find that it takes the lead.
- Guardians of the Galaxy. Former Troma Pictures filmmaker James Gunn graduated to the big time in 2014 when Marvel Studios hired him to make their offbeat science-fiction comedy "Guardians of the Galaxy."

But before Meet the Parents, before Analyze This, there was Midnight Run, in which he plays Jack, a bounty hunter assigned to bring in Charles Grodin’s embezzler — a seemingly straightforward job that turns out to be way more complicated once the mob is on their trail.

In Men in Black, the former rap artist and sitcom actor cemented his ascension to A-list movie star, proving that Independence Day wasn’t an aberration.
