- DirectorDavid S. GoyerStarsJohn LeguizamoNatasha LyonneWesley SnipesAn autistic 15-year-old boy steals money from his boss to provide rent for his abusive father, who uses the money to repay a loan shark.One of my favorite movies, practically unheard of but just a outstanding movie
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsAl PacinoSean PennPenelope Ann MillerA Puerto Rican former convict, just released from prison, pledges to stay away from drugs and violence despite the pressure around him and lead on to a better life outside of N.Y.C.One of the greatest gangster-movies, possibly the best. John Leguizamo as one of the most memorable bad guys of the 90's: Benny Blanco from the Bronx.
- DirectorBrad FurmanStarsMatthew McConaugheyMarisa TomeiRyan PhillippeDefence lawyer Mick Haller lands a case defending a wealthy realtor's son who is accused of raping a prostitute. Believing his client to be innocent, Haller soon finds evidence that proves otherwise.One of the best thrillers in recent years, John Leguizamo doesn't have a major role in it but the rest of the cast delivers
- DirectorSpike LeeStarsJohn LeguizamoAdrien BrodyMira SorvinoSpike Lee's take on the "Son of Sam" murders in New York City during the summer of 1977 centering on the residents of an Italian-American Northeast Bronx neighborhood who live in fear and distrust of one another.One of Spike Lee's best movies
- DirectorSpike LeeStarsDerek LukeMichael EalyLaz AlonsoSet in 1944 Italy, the story of four black American soldiers who get trapped in a Tuscan village during WWII.Underrated war-movie IMO, another Spike Lee favorite. John Leguizamo is only in it for like 2 scenes tho.
- DirectorFranc. ReyesStarsJohn LeguizamoPeter SarsgaardDenise RichardsA successful South Bronx drug dealer turns his back on his roots and gives money to a Wall Street broker to invest for him.Carlito's Way meets Boiler Room, has some flaws but overall very enjoyable
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsMark WahlbergZooey DeschanelJohn LeguizamoA science teacher, his wife, and a young girl struggle to survive a plague that causes those infected to commit suicide.One of the most mocked movies in recent years, but I can't help to love it. Yes ocassionally it's really bizarre, but I don't mind bizarre movies and it shows a different take on Apocalyptic movies.
- DirectorJean-François RichetStarsEthan HawkeLaurence FishburneGabriel ByrneA police sergeant must rally the cops and prisoners together to protect themselves on New Year's Eve, just as corrupt policeman surround the station with the intent of killing all to keep their deception in the ranks.Stellar action-thriller with the always great Ethan Hawke. Leguizamo's part is limited.
- DirectorPaul MillerStarsJohn LeguizamoJeffrey JonesEdoardo BalleriniA Miami con man agrees to be the human target for a Neo-Nazi manhunter in order to collect $50,000 if he survives.Haven't seen it in many years, perhaps it will be too juvenile for me in my adult years but that remains to be seen... The memory I have of it is that I loved it... Dumb and Dumber meets Surviving The Game
- DirectorRobert Patton-SpruillStarsDavid CarusoLinda FiorentinoJohn LeguizamoIt was supposed to be an easy job for the 5 guys to rob an art museum of $15 million in paintings, but it comes with a body count that continues on the way to Miami to sell.One of my favorite movies in the VHS days... Managed to rewatch it a couple months ago, I did see some flaws I was blind to back then but still very entertaining
- DirectorRenée ChabriaStarsJohn LeguizamoAna Claudia TalancónElizabeth PeñaA Mexican-American chases his dreams as he puts together a classic Mexican band to compete in a radio station sponsored contest, all while attempting to court a beautiful girl.A latino indie feel good drama. Perhaps a little simple story but John Leguizamo is great in a very different role as a daydreamer, also with a great Elizabeth Pena in another lead
- DirectorJohn SchultzStarsCedric The EntertainerMike EppsGabrielle UnionWorking class New York bus driver Ralph Kramden is always coming up with get-rich-quick schemes for him and his best friend, Ed Norton, who's always around to help him get in (and out of) trouble.Not particulary smart, but then again it's a comedy, and ocassionally very funny (particulary the scenes where John Leguizamo is in as the dog-trainer/hustler)... Not a great movie but a entertaining one if you like Epps and Cedric, which I do
- DirectorJoseph B. VasquezStarsDoug E. DougMario JoynerJohn LeguizamoFour young friends spend one crazy Friday night on the streets of Manhattan that quickly turns into a night, they'll never forget.Feel good coming of age movie, which felt like a mix between Do The Right Thing and The Hangover
- DirectorBaz LuhrmannStarsLeonardo DiCaprioClaire DanesJohn LeguizamoShakespeare's famous play is updated to the hip modern suburb of Verona still retaining its original dialogue.I remember thinking it was fairly good when I saw it in the 90's, would
rewatch - CreatorJames DeMonacoStarsSteve CirbusDonnie WahlbergMichael HyattA group of military veterans, who recently returned home from serving in Iraq, band together to pull off a major bank heist.Not a movie, but a highly watchable mini-series about a group of bankrobbers lead by John Leguizamo
- DirectorMark NeveldineBrian TaylorStarsGerard ButlerMichael C. HallLudacrisIn a future mind-controlling game, death row convicts are forced to battle in a 'Doom'-type environment. Convict Kable, controlled by Simon, a skilled teenage gamer, must survive thirty sessions in order to be set free.Smaller role for John in this flawed but entertaining action-sci-fi flick
- DirectorBetty ThomasStarsEddie MurphyPeter BoyleOssie DavisA doctor discovers that he can communicate with animals.I found it amusing when I saw it which was some odd years ago, John isn't actually "in" it but he voices as rat with no name
- DirectorJohn LeguizamoStarsJohn LeguizamoClifton Collins Jr.Adrian MartinezA boxer must navigate a path between his newfound fame and his former life.Although it's about a boxer it's more of a character-study movie than a boxing-movie... Somewhat flawed but still a good watch if you're a fan of John
- DirectorBrad FurmanStarsJohn LeguizamoTyrese GibsonRosie PerezAfter he's shot during a heist in East L.A., an armored truck driver wrestles with rehabilitation and tracking down the man who committed the crime.I expected it to be better, but it was still good enough, a low key revenge thriller
- DirectorAndrew DavisStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerJohn LeguizamoFrancesca NeriAfter his family is killed by a terrorist act, a firefighter goes in search of the one responsible.Pretty entertaining Arnie vehicle for the most part, Leguizamo has 2 scenes or so
- DirectorEdward BurnsStarsEdward BurnsMatthew LillardBrittany MurphyA groom (Ed Burns) and his four attendants wrestle with issues related to friendship and maturity a week before the big day.Felt like a genuine portrayal, a small scale coming of age drama-comedy with John Leguizamo as one of the groomsmen
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsHayden ChristensenThandiwe NewtonJohn LeguizamoThe population of Detroit has almost completely disappeared, but a few remain. As daylight disappears they realize that the Dark is coming for them.Panned by the critics, but I found it to be a decent slow burning mystery horror
- DirectorBrian De PalmaStarsMichael J. FoxSean PennDon HarveyDuring the Vietnam War, a soldier finds himself the outsider of his own squad when they unnecessarily kidnap a female villager, for their sexual enjoyment.I saw this in the early 90's don't really remember if I liked it or not so I put it here where the list goes from movies I kinda like to movies I kinda don't like
