I love the look on PSH's face in The Big Lebowski, when bunny says "I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars"

i liked hoffman in seriousness in these movies Boogie nights, the movie where he huffs gasoline to get high and he is the main character the name escapes me. I also liked him in almost famous. I heart that movie.

I've seen a lot of good picks here.

I think the following guys were brilliant at times, maybe not all the time, but had brilliant moments. Here's 10 I like:

1) Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles.
2) Jack Nicholson in "Cuckoo's Nest."
3) Clint Eastwood in "Unforgiven."
4) Robin Williams in "Good Will Hunting."
5) Denzel Washington in "Glory."
6) Dustin Hoffman in "Rain Man."
7) Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham."
8) John Cusak in "High Fidelity."
9) Kevin Kline in "A Fish Called Wanda"
10) Tom Berenger in "Platoon."

He stole the show in "Charlie Wilson's War" as Gust Avrakotos.

Absolutely.
That was HIS movie.

If you're into bad cop or good cop roles, then Denzel is your man. Sorry, but I can't stand him. Plays the same f'in character in every movie.

So I guess I pretty much described my worst actor of this generation

One of Hoffman's greatest roles ever is Owning Mahowny.



Oh! One I forgot - Jude Law. Big fan.

Spacey, yes, but I've never been all that impressed with Guy Pearce. Aside from Memento and L.A. Confidential, I've not cared for many of his performances.

Did you see The Proposition?
