Focus is probably my favourite film of Meat's (or should I say Michael's?) at the moment. My favourite plot of them all too. I watched it in the cinema a few months ago. Usually I am thinking "Oh my god, IT'S MEAT!!!" when I watch one of his films, but this is the first time that I, for a brief moment, forgot it was him and thought of him as Fred. That, in my opinion, is a sign he is an excellent actor. I recently saw the DVD and it was interesting to hear Meat's comment on the times in the bonus features.
However, Crazy In Alabama is another example (of many) in which Meat shines, and my favourite single scene of all Meaty movies is when Meat's character walks up to a boy in a swimming pool complex and pulls him off the fence, and then he kneels by the pool.
