9. You, me and Dupre (2006)

Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson and Matt Dylan Star in this comedy for a man who crashes with her recently married friends just to overcome her welcome. In the years that followed major comedy hits There’s something for Mary and Meet your parentsWe have a lot of semi-wrecking imitators who are trying to capture this true tone. You, me and Dupre is one of the more forgotten films of the era. Not a total disaster, but nothing special.

8. Welcome to Collinwood (2002)

This crime of Caper with the participation of William H. Macy, Sam Rockwell, Patricia Clarkson and many others have their moments, but he feels more formal than not, especially released in an era dominated by another couple of brothers to create movies, Joel and Ethan Cohen.

7. Cherry (2021)

Rusos’s first movie after Marvel was on the general side of the spectrum. Tom Holland plays the role of a military veteran who turns to a life of crime to strengthen drug addiction. Tone and story, it is everywhere, but in the end it is worth watching for the Netherlands’ commitment to the complex role. A large swinging that did not clear the fence.

6. Electricity (2025)

Electricity reappire directors with their Captain America and Avengers Writing partners, Christopher Marcus and Stephen McFili. Based on a book by Simon Stalenhag, she follows a young woman (Millie Bobby Brown), who, with the help of a sharpening type (Chris Pratt), has to navigate a world shortened by a war with a robot, to find her missing brother. The movie is appropriately funny with incredible visual effects and cast, but approximately as predictable as movies come.

5. The gray man (2022)

Call me crazy and maybe you will do it but I was completely funny The gray man. Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling the star as duo secret agents in a movie that is so big and so above the top is felt that blond is given the keys to Quickly and fiercely Franchise and brought their own stars from A-Listen. It is disposable, but in a fun way.

4. Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Look, I love Captain America: Civil WarS I really do it. But I I really love everyone The Rousseau brothers come back films and if I have to look for something, whatever it is to distinguish between them, that’s it. Captain America: Civil War He feels more recently as the movie “Civil War” than the movie “Captain America”. Still, it’s great.

3 Avengers: War of Infinity (2018)

You will feel a flowing topic in these last four films. I think everyone is fantastic. Take Avengers: An endless war, Which is an ambitious, bold delight for a superhero. A movie that can be as big and brave as it wants to be because it hangs your hat for a decade excellent storytelling. Without this, you couldn’t stop the movie that kills half the characters and then roll your loans. But Endless war It gives you all kinds of performance and then a fabulous stroke on the bowel above.

2. Avengers: Endgame (2019)

It’s weird to think about Avengers: Endgame A movie. Of course, this is a movie. A long movie, but still the only one. However, it works, as well as this, because it is a debauchery, epic conclusion for a decade. The Russians turned out to be the conductors of some of the largest pieces in the history of the movies, as well as some of the most exciting and emotionally satisfying. This is a great movie from top to bottom and really a landmark of the movie’s story. And yet, we are talking about Rusos. So …

1 Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)

It cannot be denied that the other three Marvel films of Rusos are grand. But it was their first crack in the genre, the smaller one that really shines. The winter soldier He certainly leaned on more films. I had to. But it was also built on them in new and intriguing ways that helped to separate it. The film finds this perfect balance of superhero style, political intrigue and complex character building. That is why we think this is the best movie for the Rousse brothers so far.

Na. Pieces (1997)

To be honest while we have watched all the films mentioned in Rousseau, there is one that we miss. This is their directorial debut since 1997, Pieceswhich premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival, but has never been brought up for distribution. However, one person who saw him was Stephen Soderberg and his adoration for the movie helped start the brothers’ career. So, in a sense, none of them would exist without PiecesS
