He was pretty good in that OJ mini series

Battlefield Earth……

Thank you so Much for that!!!

The Dutch angles gave me nausea

Yes, this is one of my favorites.

Blow Out is his best movie and best performance.

Agree. In a parallel universe he was also wonderful in Malick’s Days of Heaven.

Night Fever Urban Cowboy

Get Shorty Pulp Fiction


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

He's not even the best performance of Sean Archer in Face/Off

Moose in The Fanatic

He was great in dirty dancing!

In no order:

-Pulp Fiction -Blow Out -Saturday Night Fever -Urban Cowboy -From Paris with Love

This is only of the movies of his I’ve seen and I like them all for different reasons.

They’re pretty different genres, but he’s been convincing in a number of rules and all of these movies are entertaining.
