I don't know about you but my favourite role of McConaughey's came in 2003 when he teamed up with Kate Hudson for the laugh out loud How to Lose A Guy In 10 Days.
The pair sizzled on the screen together and journalist Andie Anderson and advertising executive Benjamin Barry.
Benjamin Barry is an advertising executive competing with two female co-workers for a major campaign for a diamond merchant.
He cuts a deal with his competitors that the account is his if he can make a woman of their choice fall in love with him in 10 days.
In comes Andie Anderson who, in turn, is writing a story on how to lose a guy in 10 days as a bet with her boss to be allowed to write more substantial stories.
With a hidden agenda in each camp, will either party be able to complete their mission?
The movie was popular at the box office and went on to gross in excess of $177 million, easily making back it's $50 million budget.
Sahara (2005)
Action was next on the agenda for the actor as he took on the role of Dirk Pitt as director Breck Eisner brought Clive Cussler's novel to the big screen.
Master explorer Dirk Pitt takes on the adventure of his life when he embarks on a treasure hunt through some of the most dangerous regions of West Africa.
Searching for what locals call the "Ship of Death," a long lost Civil War battleship that protects a secret cargo, Pitt and his wisecracking sidekick use their wits and clever heroics to help Doctor Eva Rojas when they realize the ship may be linked to mysterious deaths in the very same area.
Despite appearing to do quite well at the box office, $119 million is not to be sniffed at, the big production costs, it cost $160 million to make, saw the movie make a loss.
The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)
And this week sees him return to the big screen, and the role as a lawyer, in The Lincoln Lawyer. McConaughey leads a strong cast of Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, William H. Macy and Michael Pena.
Mickey Haller is a Los Angeles criminal defence attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln sedan.
Haller has spent most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case of his career: defending Louis Roulet, a Beverly Hills playboy accused of rape and attempted murder.
But the seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival for Haller.
The Lincoln Lawyer is released 18th March
