Bittersweet.

Indeed. Tony Scott & Robin Williams' endings both struck the same sad chord.

Both did what they did after receiving horribly bleak health diagnoses. Robin had a particularly nasty form of dementia, and Tony just learned he had an inoperable brain tumor.

[Sir Galahad]

Only a small part but his bit in True Romance was the stuff of legend

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

IMHO one of the most powerfull scenes in movie history..

Very intense scene. Did you know he went an octave lower in his voice for this role?

Made me swoon back in the day!

A big part of Oldman's allure and charisma is his delivery, doesn't matter what he says - high prose, gibberish made-up vampire language, sporting a silver cane and a purple top hat not a problem - he makes it all utterly believable and compelling.

 

[SuperHoss]

So many great performances, but True Romance and State of Grace are sentimental favorites. His performance in Hannibal was also amazing. I didn't know it was him until long after I originally viewed the film.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

I have no idea how anyone can choose. Im leaning towards True Romance because its my favourite film on the list -- but i think his Portrayal of Mason was just incredibly delivered. Even with his face mangled with prosthetics, that look and soft moan he gives when Barney shows him the mask -- incredible

Great movie, not for slow brains.
