Don't miss his performance in 1984

It's my favorite performance of his. He's great in that movie. It's one of my favorites, and the book by George Orwell is also one of my favorites.

If anybody ever got snubbed for an Oscar, it's John Hurt in this performance. Incredible.

Michael Radford's 1984 is one of the few films I've seen that does justice to the literary work that it's based on.

John Hurt was perfect as Winston Smith, and Richard Burton gave one of his best performances in what was to be his last film role.
