It's a fantastic film isn't it. Okay Hoffman isn't in it a great deal but it's such a bizarre and out there film it's amazing the film got made on it's budget.

"It's a fantastic film isn't it. "

Yes, it definitely is. I'm actually one of the few to call it a masterpiece. I probably consider it as the most underrated movie of all times (well, maybe tie with a few others).

Well, now, THIS is a hard one. This guy's filmography is simply outstanding, and he is one of the best actors of all times.

But, let's give it a try:

1- Midnight Cowboy
2- The Graduate
3- Little Big Man
4- Tootsie
5- Perfume: Story of a Murderer
6- All the president's men
7- Kramer VS. Kramer (I used to not like so much being younger, but as an adult, the movie makes much more sense. Probably because you have to know how adulthood feels to relate to the issues presented in the movie.)
8- Sleepers
9- Rain Man
10- Outbreak (It was one of my latest pleasant surprises. I really didn't exprect much so maybe that's the reason it really worked with me.)

Honorable mention to Papillon and Wag the Dog.

I'm yet to see Dick Tracy, Lenny, Marathon Man and Straw Dogs.

And I don't even want to start on ranking his performances. He is so versatile that I REALLY have a hard time to judge. I guess that if I had to answer because I was under pressure: Midnight Cowboy.
