You favorite movie or TV roles.

I was watching The Dark Knight AGAIN last night and thought, "Why not share and possibly get other interesting stuff to see as well?" I can't get enough of Heath Ledger in that movie. An outstanding performance:







If you haven't seen this it's a must, even if it's not your type of movie. Please share roles that blew your socks off.

I had a huge crush on Heath Ledger.

Some of my favorite movie characters: Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption. "Get busy living, or get busy dying.". That's powerful.

Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.

Mel Gibson in Braveheart: "Every man dies, but not every man truly lives."

ETA: MacGyver. In everything.

Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner. A sophist(icated) android who finds his humanity!

Oooo, I remember that one. Powerful performance.

Omar from the tv show 'the wire' such a good role, i never thought i'd be cheering on a gay character haha, but i guess he wasnt the cliche gay type i guess.

That reminded me. Neil Patrick Harris does the opposite in the Harold and Kumar movies. Absolutely hilarious. Can't post them here though. WAY against the T&C.

Nice. Haven't seen that one. I will though. Thanks.

ETA: Viggo played Satan very well in The Prophesy:

Some strong language


I've only just got into Deadwood , but have really enjoyed the first series. Ian Mcshane is a great actor. Funny, as I used to hate him as he was in a terrible show called love joy. Nothing like Deadwood.

I have to agree. The prophecy movies were good movies.

I STILL remember that movie. That scene was best in it IMO.

I like movies like the Bourne trilogy.

Great scene from Jaws:



The rumor is that Robert Shaw ad lib'd that scene.

Kevin Spacey? Not one part but his whole career. I have yet to see a part that he played that I didn't enjoy. Drama, comedy, horror, doesn't matter. He might actually be the best actor alive.

Just pointing out Kevin Spacey again. He can do it all. This was a pretty benign movie. IDK how to categorize it(drama?) but Kevin was awesome again:



If you haven't seen K-pax, rent it, or buy it(it's that good). Then let me know if Prot was an alien or not.

Representing the chick-flic genre... hehe

His SNL episode was the best in my memory:





Lots more but not T&C compliant.

Or horror:

Call a doctor.... Lolz
