It's when Christopher Lloyd's character winds up Hardy in the therapy session but ends up nearly setting himself on fire when a lit cigarette lands in the bottom of his pyjamas. "Play the game, play the game, play...the game." Absolutely hilarious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarantino, has there been a better writer of dialogue? This film has many great scenes, let's not forget Gandolfini and Arquette in the "coke under the bed" scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Manchester By The Sea, when Cassey Affleck is being questioned in the police station. I consider his performance in that film to be up there with the very best, if not, the best. That's exactly how I would imagine a father to be after feeling responsible for the death of his own daughters . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 23 minutes ago, Phil Silvers said: a New Leaf, not that well known Walter Mathau vehicle where he plays a wealthy playboy gone broke, his club inform him that his cheque has bounced, he confronts his financial manager with this. Love this scene, quality throughout with a great punchline. That was a joy to watch and will seek out the entire film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have had the oscar for Malcolm X, instead they give it him for Training Day. He was good in TD, but he was on another level in Malcolm.

It's a decent film, not his greatest but I like it, there's another great scene when he gets home that day and breaks the news to his man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare his work in his Coen Brothers roles with his work in State of Grace and Clockers. He's got great range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I have always thought Anthony Hopkins is a sublime actor. The way he delivers his lines/performances etc, puts so many actors to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 The final scene in American Me is very powerful. And another great performance from a very underrated actor, William Forsythe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Treat Williams beating up on corpses to keep his powder dry in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. Also another fine performance from Christopher Lloyd as "Pieces ". "Boat Drinks", anybody? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Another great Turturro performance, Miller's Crossing. "Bernie Bernbaum ain't got no ethics." Also one of the last great performances by Albert Finney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is one for the underrated movies thread, I quite liked most of the Richard Attenborough diirected movies and he gets as good a shout for this as does Hopkins. For years I would tell people to watch this and no one ever bothered, I thought the first stage entrance of Fats was a brilliant idea and executed to perfection. I think Anthony Hopkins best performance though, was in The Remains of the Day, a great film. Edited April 28, 2022 by Phil Silvers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
