100. Tropic Thunder

(2008)
Director: Ben Stiller
Starring: Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, Brandon T. Jackson, Jay Baruchel

A pampered cast of actors thinks they're playing soldiers in a Vietnam movie but unwittingly get dropped in the middle of a real-life drug war. The jokes are fast and furious, but the flick is most memorable for Downey Jr.'s amazing take as a white dude in blackface. Way more convincing than Ted Danson.

Disability groups picketed the film's premiere because of its Simple Jack subplot. Man, that's retarded.

This is so much funnier if you remember what it is that's being parodied at any given time. Robert Downey and Danny McBride kill in this movie.

I can never hate on Tom Cruise (no matter how crazy he is) because of his role in this movie. Epic.

I'm the dude that's playing the dude, disguised as another dude!
