#3 - FOOL'S GOLD

Plot: Matthew McConoughey and Kate Hudson are estranged lovers / maritime historian treasure hunter people things. They must stop at NOTHING to uncover the motherload of all maritime treasures before their rivals do.
Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
The chemistry! Also the shwashbuckling. But mostly the chemistry. Matthew and Kate sizzle, not once offput by the fossilised patriarch Donald Sutherland slumped in a captain's outfit boozing it up in every second scene. If shirtlessness is your bag, then you are in luck. Donald Sutherland brings the goods.
To be honest, I can't remember specifics. But whenever that happens, I know that it was so good my mind had to forget it just to cope with the awesomeness.
Best scene: Kate Hudson traps a henchman down a jagged, violent blowhole resulting in him being literally churned to pieces and erupting from the spout in a geyser of blood. This actually happens.

You'd be a FOOL to pass on these riches.
