Outbreak [DVD] [1995]
12.  Outbreak [DVD] [1995] DVD ~ Dustin Hoffman
The list author says:
  "The 3rd '95 movie besides "Usual Suspects" & "Se7en" propelling Mr. Spacey into general awareness; a biotech thriller with an allstar cast led by Dustin Hoffman. A bit too Hollywood, but still great."

Ordinary Decent Criminal [DVD] [2000]
13.  Ordinary Decent Criminal [DVD] [2000] DVD ~ Kevin Spacey
The list author says:
  "Very (!) loosely based on Irish gangster Martin Cahill; Spacey as a cocky, loveable rogue in a short, sweet & not too fast-paced crime caper. That brogue could've used some more coaching, though!"
Used & New from: £0.01

14.  Looking for Richard (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] [1996] [1997] VHS Al Pacino
The list author says:
  "Pacino does Shakespeare (but warning: this is NOT the play itself!), and Kevin Spacey obliges as Buckingham. Fascinating insights into one of the bard's greatest plays from an allstar American cast."

The list author says:
  "Sex, drugs and the meaning of life: Spacey, Sean Penn and a cast of tremendous costars get to rant it off in this tale of Hollywood in the early '80s. DEFINITELY not your recommended first date movie."

The list author says:
  "Sort of "Glengarry Glen Ross" redux (& also a screen adaptation of a play): 3 salesmen (Spacey, Danny DeVito & Peter Facinelli) holed up in a hotel suite, talking shop & the meaning of life. Intense!"

The Life of David Gale [DVD] [2003]
18.  The Life of David Gale [DVD] [2003] DVD ~ Kevin Spacey|Kate Winslet
The list author says:
  "Not likely to ever make my Top 10 list (because of the movie itself, not Mr. Spacey's performance), but better than his 2000 & 2001 output. The death penalty, secrets, lies & the power of publicity."

20.  A Time To Kill [DVD] [1996] DVD ~ Matthew McConaughey
The list author says:
  "Spacey's talent is underused in this Grisham adaptation with Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock & Samuel L. Jackson; but a great look at race relations & justifiable homicide, even if a bit cliched."
