Those are not my 5 favorite by a longshot. I will have to make a list and get back on that one. There are just too many but I do know that one is Benny and Joon.

... what if Johnny Depp would have played the lead role in Platoon!?

For one, I think that movie would have been infinitely better for it, but also it might have just changed Depp's complete career, instead of him going into television work, hating that, and then going completely in the other direction with strange original (but wonderful) roles.

He may have but I still think for the most part he does really great movies. I think his acting his wonderful to the point that he really becomes his character but he just needs to be a little more selective of the movies he does.

I'm sure alone on this but i wanted to see rango on the list, i thought he was awesome in it
