'How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days'

His portrayal of the real life Ron Woodroof gained him an Oscar nom.
'Wolf Of Wall Street'

Matthew McConaughey as Mark Hanna in "Wolf of Wall Street" had us all thumping our chests after his performance.

The film was full of all sorts of iconic pop culture moments but this stood out more than the rest.
'Magic Mike'

Fans loved seeing the shirtless actor show off his dance moves alongside Channing Tatum.
'Dazed And Confused'
Gramercy
Few actors have a catch phrase that sticks with them like McConaughey's line from "Dazed and Confused".

Utter the words "alright, alright, alright" and in a moment anyone would know who you are talking about.
'The Wedding Planner'
Columbia Pictures
"The Wedding Planner" was McConaughey's solidifying part as a rom-com staple.

He played the endearing Steve Edison opposite Jennifer Lopez.
'Mud'
Lionsgate

He runs into two boys who agree to help him reunite with the love of his life Juniper (Reese Witherspoon) before the bounty hunters find him.
'Bernie'
Millennium Entertainment
"Bernie" might have been nominated for a number of awards but the film based on a true story is underrated when it comes street credit.

McConaughey plays prosecution lawyer Danny Buck who is trying to prove Bernie (Jack Black) committed murder.

The problem is, Bernie is so loved in his community no one wants to believe it so the trial must be moved to another district.
'Interstellar'
Paramount

He is joined by three other astronauts ( Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Bill Irwin).
'Killer Joe'
Voltage Pictures
When Chris (Emile Hirsch) needs to have his mother murdered so he can cash in on her insurance plan he hires Detective "Killer" Joe Cooper. The only issue is, Chris can't pay the upfront fee so Killer Joe takes his younger sister Dottie as sexual collateral until he is paid.
