20 Best Movies Starring The Friends Cast

16. Big Nothing (David Schwimmer)

Big Nothing 2006
Pathé

Big Nothing is by far the most niche film on this list, given that it doesn't even have enough reviews to have a critical consensus score on Rotten Tomatoes.

But don't let that turn you off - this little-seen 2006 black comedy stars David Schwimmer as a strung-out former teacher who joins his demented old pal (Simon Pegg) on a blackmail scheme to get rich quick.

Though hardly the most original premise in the world, it's held aloft by the laid-back chemistry between Schwimmer and Pegg, and a tone that pinballs audaciously between light and dark.

In a just world, Big Nothing would be a much-loved cult classic, but it's such a niche outing that it can't even qualify for that.

Do yourself a favour and check it out on VOD, because it's a good deal better than its invisible rep would have you believe.
