So what happens now?

Rammsteinmad 12-07-2009 02:21 PM

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

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:23 PM

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

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:35 PM

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.

Heros Welcome 12-07-2009 02:37 PM

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.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:39 PM

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.

Heros Welcome 12-07-2009 02:44 PM

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.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:45 PM

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.

Heros Welcome 12-07-2009 02:47 PM

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.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:48 PM

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....

XCaliber 12-07-2009 02:53 PM

Does he have to be in a lead role necesserily?

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:54 PM

no way.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:54 PM

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.

The Jayman 12-07-2009 02:55 PM

Kurt Russell in

Schlomey 12-07-2009 02:57 PM

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.

The Jayman 12-07-2009 02:59 PM

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

Schlomey 12-07-2009 03:03 PM

Death Proof

XCaliber 12-07-2009 03:06 PM

Jude Law in Gattaca

thedamndest 12-07-2009 03:41 PM

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.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 03:42 PM

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

Heros Welcome 12-07-2009 04:07 PM

Johnny Depp
http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Edw...C10136622.jpeg

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.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 10:41 PM

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.

Schlomey 12-07-2009 10:43 PM

John Candy - Planes, Trains & Automobiles



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

Sixx 12-07-2009 10:53 PM

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

Schlomey 12-07-2009 10:56 PM

It's ok to hate things sixx.

I know. :(

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

Sixx 12-07-2009 11:19 PM

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.

DAMN iNATOR 12-08-2009 06:19 AM

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