Blow

Who doesn't love Johnny Depp? Aside from his good looks, he's one of the most diverse actors ever. Throw any role his way and he'll give it 110% -- and do it well.

Blow is based on a book and a true story, about a guy who grows up in a mid-low class family that always has financial issues. He doesn't want this life, and after he and his best friend move out to California, they discover how much money you can make when you're in the drug business. Over time he goes from weed to cocaine, and of course there are some bumps along the way.

Even though this guy is a drug dealer that makes millions of dollars illegally, you still can't help but like him and feel sorry for him when he is forced to face certain consequences. Penelope Cruz also does a great job portraying a very hypocritical woman, in my opinion. I've seen this movie quite a few times now, and just now I realized that the little girl in the film is played by Emma Roberts. Amazing, she was actually a cute and decent little actress before she started growing up.

I'd definitely put this movie towards the top of my Johnny Depp favorites list.
