The veteran director won his only Oscar so far for his work, and it\u2019s deserved just for the suspenseful third act alone. DiCaprio and Damon have never been better as stooges caught in a violent game they tire of playing, and Nicholson has one of his best late-career roles as an oily criminal kingpin whose luck is running out fast.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Clueless\u2019 (1995)<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Clueless |  Best Moments\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8toaz_9BHrY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Has it really been 30 years since <em>Clueless<\/em> first debuted in theaters and stole everyone\u2019s hearts?
