I found the movie Crash to be a very watchable movie with a strong cast. Besides Matt Dillon as a bigoted police officer, the movie, which was intersecting stories of various characters with their own prejudices and biases, featured Don Cheadle, Jennifer Esposito, Brendan Fraser, Terrence Howard, Ludacris, Michael Pena, Keith David, Tony Danza. It also featured Sandra Bullock and William Fichtner whose acting I particularly enjoy when cast in the right roles.
William Fichtner made me think of his brief appearance as a coke dealer in Hot Summer Nights which was set in the north east in the summer of '91 (a heat wave) which just happened to be the year we moved from NC to Pittsburgh and I was wondering, "Is it always this hot here? The realtor told us we wouldn't need air conditioning!"
A couple of Sandra Bullock movies I enjoyed were the comedy Heat with Melissa McCarthy and Our Brand Is Chaos. with Billy Bob Thornton.
