Our Top 3 Favorite Movie Teams

In vein of the new film Now You See Me, Suzanne and I will be listing our favorite movie teams. There is really no credentials as to what is considered a team, besides the fact that they need to be working together. This isn't a top ensembled cast, its a group of people working together to accomplish amazing things. Teamwork is the backbone of society and nothing beats a great movie team. Though one bad-ass hero is great, nothing beats a well oiled team. Here we go!

3. Charlie And Team (Italian Job 2003)


Though this film is a remake, not many teams are put together as well as this out for revenge team. Every group consist of intricate parts, in this case you have the mastermind Charlie (Mark Wahlberg).  His right hand man the tough guy Handsome Rob (Jason Statham), and the computer geek Lyle (Seth Green). Rounding out this already awesome team is the extremely attractive safecracker Stella (Charlize Theron), and the explosives and weapons expert Left Ear (Mos Def). I absolutely love this movie, and this team is pure awesome. One of my favorite scenes revolves around Seth Green imitating the British gruff accent and suave lady skills of Jason Statham from afar. This is a well oiled machine who completely dominated their final plane to a rousing success. Eat that Steve (Edward Norton).



2. Cleveland Indians (Major League 1989)

I love a good baseball movie and making it a comedy centered around a bad baseball team is always fun to watch. I could have chose something like the Bad News Bears but my favorite baseball comedy is Major League. The key components of this team is an extremely wild flame thrower named Ricky Vaughn (Charlie Sheen) and a cocky speedster named Willie Mays Hayes (Wesley Snipes). Throw in a burnt out veteran as your straight man, and a over payed loser and you got yourself an awesomely bad baseball team. Lets not forget my favorite player Pedro Cerano (Dennis Haysbert) a spiritual outfielder who can't hit the curveball. This is one of the great baseball movies and it's a shame I have yet to buy it. Now that this post reminded me of this film, I will be looking out for a Blu Ray copy.



1. Cobb's Inception Crew (Inception 2010)

There is a lot to like about Christopher Nolan's Inception, one of those being the tremendous team put together by Miles (Michael Caine). The Leader/ Extractor of the group Cobb (Leonardo Dicaprio) spends the beginning of the film putting together his team to infiltrate the mind of someone and plan an idea into their head. This team consist of the architect Ariadne (Ellen Page) who designs the dream that the dreamer is put into, Arthur (Joseph Gorden-Levitt) the point man who does research beforehand and helps the extractor and Eames (Tom Hardy) who can imitate and take the form of other people within the dream. Of course their is other members like Siato (Ken Watanabe) who funds the project and Yusuf (Dileep Rao) who is the chemist and created the sedative to keep people asleep. This is absolutely without a doubt my favorite team, they play so well off of each other. My favorite member? Eames of course because everybody likes someone who dreams a little bigger.

3. The A-Team (2010)

I love when A plan comes together, especially when that plan is created by mastermind Hannibal played by the always bad-ass Liam Neeson. The A-team may not have been critically acclaimed but its pretty awesome and the chemisty between the cast is absolutely dynamite. You have of course Liam Neeson whose name says everything about himself, and the cocky ladies man Face (Bradley Cooper, The kooky Murdock (Sharlto Copley) and the tough guy B.A Baracus (Rampage Jackson). The team has a lot of dynamics, and the characters really work well together.

2. Oceans Eleven Team (2001)

This is the epitome of a team, a very large team 11 to be exact. I am not going to list all the team members cause my hands would cramp up and honestly I don't remember all of them. I do however know Danny Ocean (George Clooney), Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), Linus Caldwell (Matt Damon) along with this really cool contortionist fellow. They are so awesome that they don't rob only one casino they rob three simultaneously. Easily, the best 11 person team in movie history.



1. Han Solo and Chewie (Star Wars Trilogy)

There will never be any two team tandem that can overshadow the sheer greatness of Han and Chewie. You have the extremely charismatic and fan favorite Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and the lovable sometimes cowardess Wookie named Chewbacca. I am not all that versed in Star Wars lore, so I wont be given you a breakdown of what a Wookie is or why they make an awesome gargling noise. No matter because everyone knows what a Wookie is unless you lived under a rock your whole life and missed out on one of the great trilogies of all time. If you did somehow miss out turn it on and enjoy this awesome team    
                                                                                    as they travel through space.



Honorable Mentions

Both Suzanne and I both have some honorable mentions, because we each randomly thought of more teams we enjoy. I for one love the new StarShip Enterprise crew with Chris Pine as Kirk and more so Zachary Quintos as Spock. Not to mention one of my favorite comedic actors in Simon Pegg as Scotty and Anton Yelchin as Chekov. I always wanted to mention a more unorthodox team in the form of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), Fox (Morgan Freeman) and the loyal butler Alfred (Michael Caine). Suzanne wanted to throw out Harry, Ron and Hermoine as well.
