The Beach vs. Proof of Life
Proof of Life is the one that fueled the real-life affair between Russell and Meg Ryan. Russell is hired to recover Meg's kidnapped husband — how awesome would it have been if it was Dennis Quaid? But it wasn't, and therefore, boring. The Beach, however, was Leo's alter-universe (well, Thailand) that was led by the incredible Tilda Swinton, who forced intercourse upon Leo, which forced him to cheat on his pretty French girlfriend. She forced him into exile, which forced him to witness Thai gangsters murdering tourists (blood splattered on Leo's face and everything). Then, very bizarrely, we witness Leo's scheming through the jungle barefoot, but the movie warps into video-game mode. Whoa.
Leo: 6; Russell: 3
