1)finding neverland-johnny depp plays j.m. barrie 2)the libertine-johnny depp ONCE AGAIN plays john wilmot,second earl of rochester who was a whose works were considered profanely profound. 
3)secret window-johnny depp plays mort rainey...ANOTHER mad writer. 
4)fear amd LOATHING in las vegas-depp portrays hunter s. thompson. 
don't get me wrong this isn't a johnny depp dis it's the occupation. 2)LAWYERS! 1)the devil's advocate,changing lanes. 
COACHES!(or those who wind up coaching a team) 1)remember the titans,for the love of the game,etc..any football,basketball or baseball movie install here!

Awesome Thread Idea. Reminds me of ...
1) Prostitutes with hearts of gold. They're winsome girls with sordid pasts born of horrific childhoods who usually have the misfortune of falling for... 2) ... the mysterious drifter, whose shadowy past contains a secret that ties him to... 3) ... the most powerful man in town. He's a businessman with shady deals, a wealthy family and a knack for mistreating the little person. Years ago, he cheated... 4) ... the kindhearted friend who had invented "it," which went on to revolutionize the world and made his former friend so powerful. It all has been chronicled by ... 5) ... the brassy journalist. Sometimes male, other times not, this character is the would-be hero type whose sole goal is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. The only person more pugilistic than the reporter is ... 6) ... the past-his-prime prize fighter. Once a bruiser with a solid left hook, he now takes money to throw fights to younger contenders. He usually is connected in one way or another to the prositute with a heart of gold and/or the most powerful man in town. He usually dies before the film's end... | |

the molly ringwold role--shy introverted girl with lame hair and low self esteem who is then set up by the rich too-good looking rich boy in town with the smug look who at first uses her to settle a bet and then finds that he prefers her to the shallow equally rich but 100 times more beautiful spoiled vixen who hates the shy introverted girl and makes life hell for her because she made a prom dress out a of a dirty slipcover and 180-thread count 50-50 percale sheets. | |

The frenetic, workaholic type who is taught "the value and beauty of life" by a sensitive, melodramatic character whom is brought into the workaholic's life by some strange twist of circumstance.
Usually there is a tragic, yet poignant, death scene near the end. | |

1. The exceedingly annoying precocious child, who goes throughout the entire film constantly uttering unnatural sounding comic dialogue and sporting large eyeglasses and/or an overstyled hairdo which would never be seen on a child in real life.
2. The mismatched couple who meet and immediately 'despise' one another, and spend the first half of the film trading insults and telling their friends how terrible the other is, but then undergo some sort of traumatic event or lifechanging experience (either together or separately) which causes them to realize they are actually in love with one another.
