Sean Penn
 

One of the truly great actors of his generation.

Which of the listed performances do you think is his BEST work?

Re: Sean Penn
 

Shouldnt Haiti be there as well?

Re: Sean Penn
 

A tough choice, and I haven't seen several of his highly acclaimed roles from the list. I went with Mystic River.

Re: Sean Penn
 

I think I Am Sam is his best performance, but Mystic River is my favorite movie he's been in.

U-Turn.
"40,000 people die every day, Darrell. How come you're not one of 'em?"

Re: Sean Penn
 

Dead Man Walking although his turn in Fast Times is right behind it.

Dead Man Walking

Re: Sean Penn
 

Wow, I think I've only seen two of those films. Keep meaning to see most of the others, but there are just too many films and too little time.

Dead Man Walking

Re: Sean Penn
 

Or the one for acting like a douchebag?

Re: Sean Penn
 

But he went full retard.

Re: Sean Penn
 

Voted Dead Man Walking.

Curiously, I recently watched two Sean Penn movies where he did not deliver a good performance: Shanghai Surprise and Crackers. The fact that both movies were duds didn't help either.

Re: Sean Penn
 

Hmmm...quite a few movies here I've yet to see, so I'm voting for Carlito's Way.

Re: Sean Penn
 

Dead Man Walking contains his career-best performance.

Re: Sean Penn
 

haven't seen Dead Man Walking in a very long time, but i remember not loving the movie. even though i didn't love the movie as many have, i thought he was great in Mystic River and the last scene when he looks at Kevin Bacon was just classic.

Dead Man Walking

Re: Sean Penn
 

Fast Times followed by Bad Boys, while his most underrrated performance is Casualties of War.

Re: Sean Penn
 

Mystic River. Great performance in a very good film. Even as a kid I didn't think Jeff Spicoli was funny.

Re: Sean Penn
 

Well then I guess I will choose the one with you, the douchebag

Re: Sean Penn
 

I choose this one. One of my 2 or 3 least favorite actors of all-time. A total ham on-screen that overacts in everything he does.

Re: Sean Penn
 

Milk

Re: Sean Penn
 

There may be more obvious choices but Spicolli is easily his most legendary character.
