more Out of Sight (1998): Soderbergh captures just the right tone every time, even as he encompasses a variety of genres. Based on the Elmore Leonard novel, this story of the improbable connection that forms between a career bank robber (George Clooney) and the federal marshal who's after him (Jennifer Lopez) ranges from buddy comedy to gripping suspense to sexy, noir-style romance. Clooney and Lopez have crazy, flirty chemistry as they exchange banter in Scott Frank's script that couldn't be tighter or snappier. They're each at the height of their charisma, and together they're irresistible. The excellent supporting cast includes Ving Rhames, Albert Brooks, Cheadle (again), Steve Zahn and Catherine Keener.
