welcome to watchmojo.com you’ve got to
keep living man Li VI n and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for Matthew
McConaughey’s top ten performances
number 10 killer Joe Cooper killer Joe
kicking off our list is one of the
darkest films on McConaughey’s resume as
killer Joe McConaughey shows off his
ability to play slimy and self-assured
roles as an assassin for hire who is
tapped to kill a woman for her
life-insurance money in a film full of
gripping performances McConaughey’s is a
head above the rest and it reminds us
that his range expands far beyond
rom-coms
conversation is finished this is do you
think this was huh let’s make a deal
number nine
Rick pecker Peck Tropic Thunder
McConaughey takes his turn to Lampoon
Hollywood stereotypes by taking on the
cliched role of the douchey gets it done
any way he can agent between playing his
Wii and fighting for a TiVo McConaughey
makes this cameo a memorable part cuz
it’s the pecker who saves the day plus
he knows exactly what you need to do
when you kill a hooker or a panda calm
down you’re just going to do get your
hands on some bleach some hydrogen
peroxide and a little lime number eight
Jack L’Engle We Are Marshall while this
based on a true story film got a mixed
reception from critics and fans
McConaughey was almost universally
praised for his portrayal of the new
football coach at a high school that
just lost its entire team in a plane
crash the part gives him an opportunity
to show another side of his skills and
the result is an inspirational emotional
sometimes funny and charismatic
performance that is a definite touchdown
well I can tell you this if it’s a
miracle you’re looking for ah you should
keep looking because you’re gonna end up
disappointed and I’m going to end up out
of a job number 7 Benjamin Barry How to
Lose a Guy in 10 days we had to put at
least one of McConaughey’s romantic
comedies on the list and this is silly
rom-com at its best
McConaughey plays a self-assured ad man
who thinks he can win the heart of any
lady in the room as is often the case
high jinks ensue
but McConaughey handles Kate Hudson’s
crazy with just the right amount of cock
sure strut and sharp oh you are already
falling in love with me I’m gonna make
you a shirred ahead
number six Palmer Joss contact this Carl
Sagan adaptation approaches some pretty
significant questions most notably are
we alone while you might not expect him
and his trademark cool guy factor to
work as a noted philosopher he does
manage to embody the battle between
science and faith as a human race it is
the world fundamentally a better place
because of science and technology plus a
chemistry between McConaughey and Jodie
Foster results in some great
back-and-forth would you like me to
question ironically the thing that
people are the most hungry for meaning
is the one thing that science hasn’t
been able to give them yeah yeah number
five Mickey Haller The Lincoln Lawyer
instead of getting lazy and playing out
his career with a string of
interchangeable romantic comedies
McConaughey uses this movie to remind us
he can still act he plays a cheesy
crooked lawyer who is somehow forced to
fight for the good guys the author who
penned the novel on which the story is
based said McConaughey nailed the role
and you can’t get much higher praise
than that I had a client want ya
decapitated his ex-wife kept her head in
refrigerator nice number four Dallas
Magic Mike McConaughey plays himself in
a lot of movies and he could have easily
done that in this role as an aging
exotic dancer and strip club owner he
steals the show from the younger boys
not only with his dance moves but by
showing off his dark side as a shrewd
and self-serving opportunist our guess
is no one expects to see any actual
acting in a movie about male strippers
but McConaughey proves everyone wrong
cannot done but I think I see a lot of
lawbreakers up in this house number
three Roger Sherman Baldwin Amistad next
to screen legends like Morgan Freeman
and Anthony Hopkins a lesser actor would
wither away to oblivion in this Steven
Spielberg epic but McConaughey stands up
to their talent and proves his own as a
young lawyer fighting for the rights of
Africans who are destined for slavery he
also demonstrates he is willing and able
to take on diverse roles and that helped
him take his fame to the next level or
at least Jew versatility want to win
don’t you
I certainly do he’ll sometimes I don’t
get paid unless I do number 2 Jake Tyler
Brigance a time-to-kill McConaughey’s
first chance to prove his mettle was in
this John Grisham adaptation though he
had very few roles under his belt by
this point in his career and almost no
training as an actor he manages to shine
beside a killer ensemble cast as another
young lawyer who must try an almost
impossible case McConaughey reminds us
of the film’s most disturbing themes and
questions in an unforgettable courtroom
speech I set out to prove a black man
could receive a fair trial in the south
that we are all equal in the eyes of the
law number one David Wooderson dazed and
confused taking the top spot on our list
is McConaughey’s memorable breakthrough
role this is the first of many
collaborations between McConaughey and
director Richard Linklater and all have
been some of the best work of the actors
career though his role in dazed is not
much more than a cameo he provides some
of the most unforgettable material in
the entire flick and is able to sum up
his charming laid-back character with
one quote that’s what I love about these
high school girls man I get older they
stay the same age
