I agree with 'Biopulse' on the Boondock Saints. That film is wicked. Also the main characters are 'Willem Dafoe' as the detective, 'Sean Patrick Flanery' and 'Jeff Danna' as the 2 brothers (saints). Also you got 'Billy Connelly' in there

My favorite films are

  • Pulp Fiction
  • Reserviour Dogs
  • Bad Santa
  • What Dreams May Come
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • The Italian Job (The original)
The list goes on and on but thats a few of them

and another good actor is Robin Williams he can do some really good dramas like What Dreams May Come and one Hour Photo as well as comedys [addsig]

Uma Thurman in "Kill Bill vol. 1" was quite a memorable gal too. Who could forget the part about her wiggling her toes in the car? [addsig]

*shudders* I hated that part.

I like Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko. That was good, but confusing. I also have had a strange infatuation with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory since I was a child. Maybe it's the Oompa-Loompa's.

Probably have a strange infatuation with Willy because because he rocks your face off.

yes. Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka is a great character.....did you guys know they are remaking it? You'll never guess who is playing Willy Wonka....

Ya, I knew they are remaking Willy Wonka, and with Johnny Depp too. Wonder how that will be...

that film was ok, but im a big fan of jim carry, he is a great comedy actor. i dont recall seeing him in a serious movie.

jim did a a bit part in an excellent movie called "Simon Birch"

its an absolute must see if you have not done so already. i heard that jim did the movie with no money being paid to him. he liked the script so well, he offered to do it free. no one said he could do serious, so he set out to prove them wrong. he did well.

the movie, had almost nothing to do with jim. IMO it was one of his best, even though he did very little in getting it there.



il rent that movie, it sounds really interesting!

Erm, you guys, I don't know about you, but I think Pitt's performance and overall character is way better in 12 Monkies then Fight Club.

Some of my favorite characters (Not movies mind you, in fact some of these movies suck):

Ron Perlman : Enemy At The Gates
Bruce Willis : The Whole Nine Yards
Hugo Weaving : The Matrix (Seriously, one of the best villians ever)
Keven Spacy : Seven
Brad Pitt : 12 Monkies
Jamie Foxx : Ray
Tom Cruise : Vanilla Sky (I don't like this movie, but I loved his character and his performance)
Ryan Renolds : Blade Trinity (Craptacular movie that I love, and he was the best part)
Daniel Day-Lewis : Gangs of New York (He stopped making Swedish shoes to play it for good reason)
Louis Gossett Jr. : Anything (Just an all around awesome guy)
Collin Ferrell : Daredevil, Tigerland (Both overly awesome, especially in the new DD scene at the Airport)
Kensaku Watanabe : The Last Samurai
Denzel Washington : Fallen, Glory, Training Day
Helena Bonham Carter : Fight Club
Jared Leto : Panic Room (Such an awesome actor)
Jean Reno : (Guess) Leon: The Professional
Brian Cox : X2, The 25th Hour, Rushmore
Bill Murray : Anything ever for all eternity
Owen Wilson : Bottle Rocket (Not the greatest movie, but his character is hillarious in Bottle Rocket)
Rip Torn : Dodgeball (Bye Bye)
Nick Nolte : Hulk (If you don't like this movie you can go f**k your self)
Jim Carrey : Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Peter Sarsgaard : Garden State
Clifford Smith : Garden State (So awesome)

And Many More.

What about his (and Jamie Foxx's) performance in "Collateral"? It's his best performance yet, in my opinion.

And Robert DeNiro in "Cape Fear"? That's a villain worth fearing for.

You should see Michael Ruffalo in "You Can Count on Me".

I like "Moulin Rouge", but no one particular character stands out as spectacular (even though there is a theme song called that).

Oh, I forgot to mention Adrian Brody in "The Pianist". It's a great movie, and he's so right for the role!

I love Collateral, but I thought his performance was better in Vanilla Sky

Oh, yeah, another one (On the topic of Michael Mann films, minus the craptacular Manhunter) And Jamie Foxx's performance in Ray is better then his performance in Collateral (However, they're both excellent)

Val Kilmer : Heat

Brian Cox : X2, The Fifth Hour, Rushmore

You mean Spike Lee's 25th Hour? Good movie and great role for him. The guy can do so many different roles, I'm surprised that it was him half the time I see him.

Yeah! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Agent Smith rocked. At least he did until they completely destroyed his character and turned him into a stock villain w/ superpowers in the 2nd and 3rd films. The scenes between Agent Smith and Morpheus in the 1st movie were top notch. I could totally understand how he would think that humans are a disease to the planet, etc. [addsig]

Wooops, yeah, 25th hour. Weird. I'll change it. The thing is though, he USED to be such a terrible actor. See Manhunter, it's a piece of garbage. I refuse to believe Michael Mann directed it.
