Your Favorite John Goodman Films
John Goodman has been lucky enough to have a succcessful TV career AND an amazing run in film.
I've loved him ever since he starred as lovelorn marryin'-man, Louis Fyne in the Talking Heads film, True Stories.
He followed that up with a great performance in Raising Arizona as the opportunistic fugitive, Gale Snoats.
Oh Brother Where art Thou? is another standout.
His Genius is in full ripeness as bowler & loose-cannon Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski...

Can't say I'm a big Goodman fan, he must be in a lot of stuff I've never seen, b/c I sure wouldn't say he has "an amazing run in film". Never seen any of his TV work (unless you count Futurama), but film wise the only movies he's in that I can think of, that I dig are. . .
Lebowski
Revenge of the Nerds
Barton Fink

Everything he has ever done. He is just an amazing actor all around, and I will watch literally anything with him in it. This is why I still need to see Evan Almighty.

Now that I know that, I have to include that with O Brother, Where Art Thou? as my two favorite Goodman roles.

I love John Goodman & think he is one hell of a good actor. Roseanne is one of my favorite shows & he was truly (next the the sexy Sarah Chalke) the best actor on the show hands-down.
But were talkin' movies so & althrough I haven't seen alot of JG films, the ones I have seen were terriffic.
O Brother Where Art Thou
Monsters Inc.
& I know I live under a rock but now that I know the amazing Peter O'Toole is in King Ralph I think I'll go look for the movie on DVD when I go get my new releases on tuesday.
