Twenty years ago, Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead introduced the world to a pair of super believable best friends. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s incredible chemistry led the pair to multiple team-up efforts, even beyond Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy. Pegg and Frost have since become household names.

I’m a big fan of Anthony Mackie. The guy just exudes a cool charm and charisma whenever he’s on screen, so no matter how bad the rest of a film may be, he’s always an absolute joy to watch.
