Favorite Movie By A Favorite Actor
 

So what happens now?

Also, I've never heard of Phillip Seymoure Hoffman.

Pick an actor you like and and type your favorite movie with said actor. It sparks debates of which movie is better by said actor as well as gives people interest in seeing new movies. That's whats happening :)

Edward Norton

Easily his & Furongs best film. I am kinda partial to Detroit Rock City for Furlong but this was a seriously amazing film. Good choice.


What about Death To Smoochy for Norton? I loved it but I know that I'm in the minority.

Death to Smoochy is also up there for me. I was a lil tempted to put Fight Club also, but AHX is def Nortons best IMO. Where as Fight Club is more Pitt.

Agree with that.


Picking Brad Pitt's best movie would be tough as hell for me. He has played in so many great movies and has had so many great characters.....Interview with a Vampire to Benjamin Button to some of his smaller roles like the pot head roomate in True Romance. Dude has had his hand is some of my favorite movies ever. Oh yeah, and Oceans 11.

Yeah Pitts tough for me to. Seven, Troy, Fight Club, Oceans 11, Burn After Reading, Inglourious Basterds. Sometimes I let Pitt slip my mind, yet in the end, I'm just like you, he's in a lot of my favorite movies.

Damn that reminds me I still need to see Basterds. Se7en is one I loved growing up but need to rewatch it now as an adult.



Oh and Pitt in a period piece like Troy didn't excite me at first...But I liked it so much I actually bought it..which is rare that I pay for movies. It was better than Gladiator in my opinion.

People I went with claimed it to be too long, and drawn out and they got bored. But I was locked into the whole movie and thought it was awesome.

I didn't figure he could really pull it off but he did. I loved his introduction in the film where he totally tore up that big mother fucker.

So who next.....hmmmmm....

Does he have to be in a lead role necesserily?

no way.

I considered Pitt for his 2 minute role in True Romance because he was memorable (even for a brief minute) & it's my favorite film.

Kurt Russell in

Russell is going to be a tough sell as there are a lot of Escape from LA & Big Trouble fans around here I've noticed.

there's no doubt b/c I am a huge Big Trouble fan but IMO Tombstone was his better movie

Death Proof

Jude Law in Gattaca

I liked Death to Smoochy but I was hoping it would be blacker. American History X is easily Edward Norton's best performance. He is very good in The Score playing a thief who acts like a retarded guy.

For Brad Pitt I would go with 12 Monkeys or The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Se7en is a great movie, but I don't think Pitt's performance makes the film like the other two.

12 Monkees..another film I need to re-watch :y:

Johnny Depp

Tough call for me. Depp is probably my favorite actor, but I went with this film probably based on the fact it was one of the first movies I watched ever. So I have that soft spot for it. But I'm really curious to see what people think his best work is.

Ed Wood? Pirates? Donnie Brasco? Blow? The list can go on an on.

Brucey has never shined brighter. Good call.

Clive Owen

This is a close 2nd for Clive

Bill Murray in ''What about Bob?''.

Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2.

Best movie ever.

John Cusack is awesome and totally agree with High Fidelity. Not only is it my favorite Cusack film it is easily in my top 15 favorite films out there.

John Candy - Planes, Trains & Automobiles



Sooo hard. I LOVE John Candy movies. Summer Rental, Great Outdoors, Harry Crumb, Uncle Buck ect.... All gems.

Damn, I guess I'm the only one who hated High Fidelity.

It's ok to hate things sixx.

I know. :(

But we can watch Terminator 2 together, to make things right.

Or any other Terminator, except for the third one.

Also, Dustin Hoffman has single-handedly turned lots of what could've been total flops of movies without him into gold.

Julia Roberts in a movie I think a lot of people either underrate or don't even know exists...

Matthew Broderick was great in...

with a slight assist to Ben Stein for his role as "Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?"'s teacher

Johnny Depp in Pirates of The Caribbean (I know its a Disney movie, but I love it)
Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore
Viggo Mortenson in LOTR

Best comedic role for Sandler - Happy Gilmore
Best dramatic role for Sandler - tie! Spanglish & Reign Over Me

You need to watch more movies Fallen Angle.

Fight Club w/ Edward Norton
James Bond Series (to a point)/Sean Connery
Highlander w/ Sean Connery

Nicholas Cage - Face/Off

Kevin Spacey - American Beauty

Don't re-watch movies much, but I try to watch this once a year or so. Love it.

Ray Liotta - Field Of Dreams

I think we're polar opposites in movie taste.

If you love POTC then you're probably right.

Come on.

Goodfellas?

John Malkovich - Being John Malkovich

I loved Con Air. I don't understand the hate and all the razzie awards it got..It's fucking awesome.

Razzie Awards

Won Razzie Award Worst Reckless Disregard for Human Life and Public Property


What kind of a fucked up category is that?

Hahahaha.

Oscars should have Best Disregard for Human Life and Public Property, I guess.

james dean in rebel without a cause

brad pitt in curious case of benjamin button

elizabeth taylor in giant

con air is a fantastic movie with an amazing cast

one of the few movies i will watch on tv

Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon

Phillip Seymour Hoffman

The Savages

Patrick Stewart - Conspiracy THeory

Was I the only person alive to think this movie wasn't that good/special?

Nah I was rather disappointed by it myself I'm sure the book it's based on is much better. As much as a really like Clive as an actor I'm not such a big fan of his projects. In fact if I was forced to pick his best I would have to go with King Arthur if anything.

Paul Bettany - A Beautiful Mind
