"Bats!!!"

[gocolts 300]

The answer is................ Platoon.

 

The reason is.......................because he was barely in it.

Platoon

A Nightmare on Elm Street

 

For the reason vuduchile mentioned.

[Me_2006 14]

The answer is Fear and Loathing.

 

Blow was good too.

 

 

theme?

[wiffleball 4,679]

I'm going with Pirates.

 

It's his best character. The rest of the movies, basically it's "Huh, that's Johnny Depp acting in this movie".

 

When you can dissuade your audience from thinking that, you've done a pretty good job.

 

 

 

 

But frankly, I find that this career peaked during the "21 Jumpstreet" ouvre.

Has to be Fear and Loathing. I couldn't believe how close they got to the book. BTW, my wife went to the same high school as Hunter S Thompson.

I just realized how few films i have seen with Depp in it. Honestly, most of his recent movies just don't appeal to me. Tim Burton movies are meh for me, very hit or miss, usually miss. I saw the first Pirates movie, i was one of the few people that didn't love it. It was alright, i usually don't like pirate type movies. So i have never seen the others.

 

The best movie were he plays a main role, that i've seen, is Donnie Brasco. I really can't imagine too many more being above Donnie as that was a great, great movie and he was outstanding in it. The best overall movie on the list is Platoon.

 

ETA: MANY of those are on my netflix que and have been on there for a while. So my opinion will be more valid in a second.

Like Brasco a lot...he was good with Al. Check out Blow.

The best was when he played that retard.

I forget what movie it was, but it was with Johnny Depp and River Phoenix.

 

Depp owns a nightclub called The Viper Room and River goes there to buy heroin and coke. He dies of an overdose outside the club. It was a good flick, but a bit unrealistic.

 

 

I remember that one. Can't remember the name. Definitely unrealistic though. No way could that happen in real life. Oh well, that's Hollywood for ya.

[mobb_deep 919]

Edward Scissorhands

 

This.

 

Blow 2nd

Fear and Loathing 3rd

SOMEONE SHOOT THIS ZOMBIE THREAD IN THE HEAD!!!!

 

Also, he's a great actor, but IMHO his best performances were in the Pirates movies, Finding Neverland, Ed Wood and Donnie Brasco. Hard to pick just one. He was also fantastic in an otherwise forgettable Fear and Loathing.

 

[CantTouchThis 23]

Just saw blow...excellent movie. I would rank that #2 behind Brasco.

[kutulu 1,562]

Just saw blow...excellent movie.

 

Pee Wee Herman is also excellent in it.
