A string of films have since followed including, Juno (2007), Hancock (2008), and Couples Retreat (2009).Here are his favourite films... Nicolas CageUser collection (Official)Although he was born with Hollywood roots – his uncle is Francis Ford Coppola – Nicolas Cage dropped his family name to break into acting by making his own reputation. Starting off with late 80s films like Peggy Sue Got Married, Moonstruck and Raising Arizona, Cage went on to star in some of the biggest films of the 90s, including Leaving Las Vegas – for which he won an Oscar – as well as Face/Off and Con Air. Throughout the noughties, Cage has remained a consistent name in the business, appearing in Adaptation, The Wicker Man and Knowing to name just a few.

Richard Curtis collectionUser collection (Official)From The Boat That Rocked to Bridget Jones’ Diary, Brit flick icon Richard Curtis has firmly secured the UK’s rightful place in the film hall of fame.

We take a look back at some of his best films...

Ben StillerUser collection (Official)One of the industry's workaholics, Ben Stiller went from acting classes, to the stage, to making short comedy films for MTV.

These days, with writer/director/producer/star credits in Tropic Thunder, he's clearly managing to combine the lot. And here are his formative films... Colin FirthUser collection (Official)Equally adept as the romantic lead - be it drama, period or comedy - Colin Firth has arguably trounced Hugh Grant in the posh male totty department these past years.
