With tongue planted firmly in cheek, 2000’s big-screen adaption of the late 70s TV show gave us Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu as three talented agents workng for a man named Charlie (voiced by John Forsythe who reprised his role from the series). A massive box office hit, staying at number one for four weeks in a row, Charlie’s Angels took some flack from some critics for aspects of its plot and its cheesecake factor which director McG would lean into even more heavily in the film’s sequel.

Parodying the fantasy genre by presenting characters in unfamiliar and unexpected ways, such as casting a grumpy ogre as the reluctant hero, the film was an immediate hit with both critics and audiences. Mike Myers, who replaced Chris Farley on the project after his death, stars as Shrek, a temperamental ogre none to pleased that the actions of the tiny, but quite evil, Lord Farquaad of Duloc (John Lithgow) are pushing fleeing fairy tale creatures into his swamp disturbing his peace and quiet.
