No. 7 - 8 Mile (2002) 14 of 100
Shannon gets perhaps his finest entrance to a film appearance in this outing, where we first meet him boffing Kim Basinger. Nice work if you can get it. Michael plays Greg, a sleazy contemporary of the film’s hero Eminem, who is having it off with the rapper’s mother in her trailer park home. At the time of filming Shannon was two years younger than Eminem and 21 years younger than the lovely Kim, who is somewhat miscast as the trailer trash bingo addict. You’ll probably be familiar with the film which follows the grim existence of Jimmy ‘Rabbit’ Smith Jnr. Who ekes out a depressing existence in Detroit in 1995. He lives in a grotty trailer with Kim and his young sister Lily who looks a bit too stage school to convince in her part. Jimmy holds a job at a car parts factory but hopes to become a rapper and escape his situation. He has a small crew who bitch and shout at other crews and with whom they engage in rap battles where they basically slag off each other’s mom...
