No Glory? By far his defining moment...but then again, it might've been a secondary role. I still can't watch that movie and not get the feels when they go off on their final battle. Dem some brave niggras.

i would have Glory and Crimson Tide

[The Gemini Method]

i would have Glory and Crimson Tide

He was superb in Crimson Tide--I'll give that one too. Glory was his breakout moment and that sent him on his way. Flight was the accumulation of his skill to the pantheon of great actors.

[spurraider21]

Tom Cruise

T̶r̶o̶p̶i̶c̶ ̶T̶h̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶

Dirty Harry - Dirty Harry Series


Trainer - Million Dollar Baby


Racist Old Guy - Gran Torino




Fuck that movie, I hated it so much. I can't watch boxing movies since every punch is something that would kill the other guy in real life. Every boxing movie makes Gatti-Ward 1 look like a bunch of faggy dancing.

[spurraider21]

as a main role

Al Pacino:

Godfather II
Dog Day Afternoon
Heat
Scarface
Glengarry Glen Ross
hard to argue, but i'd have to make a spot for Scent of a Woman

[gnsf0946]

Remove Glengarry Glen Ross in that case. It was more of a secondary role (more so than Godfather I) and Jack Lemmon and Alec Baldwin really owned that movie.

[spurraider21]

Leonardo DiCaprio

i personally think his acting ability is overrated but he's been in some great movies...

Inception
The Departed
Gangs of New York
The Wolf of Wall Street
Shutter Island

Basketball Diaries should take the place of Shutter Island or Wolf--your choice.

Well, she did get pretty fucked up. Besides, that movie isn't really about boxing.

[Franklin]

Ain't "Lost in Translation" (an Oscar winner) a good film? Not to say the likes of Bobby Long and Match Point, both of which were nominated for multiple golden globes.

[spurraider21]

Arnold.

Predator.
Commando.
Running Man.
Total Recall.
Terminators.

One of my favorite parts was when Pacino called Spacey a ****. A man calling another man a ****....powerful.

Edit: Okay, wtf is going on when the word cun_ is now censored?

Philadelphia
Lady Killer
Road to Perdition

Wit. I assume. Philadelphia he was the gay w/ aids. On this board of weak wristed homophobes, that's a villainy asunder. Lady Killer he was the murderer but even as that you couldn't help saying aww Tommy Hanks! Road to Perdition is the same way. He plays this bad mobster guy but at the end your emotions counter with ah man he was a lot more easier to follow than Jude Law.

There's no doubt. But same with League of Their Own. Calling him a "villain" in that role is a stretch. The easy answer to your question is "no", he doesn't play the true villain.

Truly the last of the pure good guys in cinema. Probably the best since Jimmy Stewart...

Green Mile should be on that list above.

Yeah, but still, he wasn't the baddest of the bad in that movie...

no...not the bad guy list. I mean the list of his best movies.

[The Gemini Method]

Oh ok--I don't have any qualms with that choice. Though a sad story is that my ex gf was the nurse that tried to save Michael Clark Duncan's life and said that though they said they were trying to save him @ Cedars Sinai hospital, that he was already dead on arrival. Said he was such a large human that it took a group of people to move his body to the morgue.

[lefty]

Is she in any good movies?
The Avengers, but she was shit in it

damn for real? that sucks.

although, it would have been kind of funny if she placed her mouth over his and breathed in real loud. then look around at everyone staring..."what? you know...Green Mile."

I don't have anything to say bad about the ex. However, if she was a witch, I would've probably hoped she would've done that. :lol

On a dead guy? That would have been hilarity but something I'd probably not want to know :sick

I apologize here. I thought I'd referenced the post about Steven Guttenberg not Hanks, so keep that in mind.

They've been showing "The Bedroom Window" on the Cable of late and 30 years has improved this film. He underplays it and it sustains this film. Might give it a second look.

He also has a harrowing bit in "The Boys From Brazil"...though in that film he's his frenetic MO. Still it is a nice turn.
