He was excellent in "The Package", but from the list I voted for Little Bill.

Went with Unforgiven but enjoy him in most anything.

too many choices missing

I'm going to have to go with The Royal Tenenbaums on this one.

[Royal motions to Pagoda]
Royal: He saved my life, you know. Thirty years ago. I was knifed at a bazaar in Calcutta, and he carried me to the hospital on his back.
Ari: Who stabbed you?
[Royal motions to Pagoda again]
Royal: He did. There was a price on my head, and he was a hired assassin. Stuck me in the gut with a shiv.

Great (and modest :o ) minds....

I can't believe he isn't getting any love for his superb performance in Tony Scott's ENEMY OF THE STATE.


;)


His role in THE FRENCH CONNECTION edges out his role in UNFORGIVEN.

"When I was five, my father introduced me to a friend of his, and for no reason at all, I hit him right in the stomach with all my strength. And he died a year later. He'll kill ya if he gets the chance. I'm not afraid of death but I am afraid of murder. "

The Conversation

Unforgiven, followed closely by Crimson Tide and The Conversation

AGuyNamedMike 06-28-04 10:09 AM

The Conversation

NOT an easy decision, as even when he phones in a role, he rocks.

Loose Cannons!

Just kidding - I vote for Crimson Tide, although he was really good in French Connection and Hoosiers too.

Unforgiven - but I also loved him in Enemy of the State
