What are Patrick's best films?


Hi! I've only seen Patrick in Phantom of the Opera -- and I've fallen head over heels for this talented stud. I want to see more... and he has a pretty large credits list, so I'm not sure where to start -- can anyone kindly recommend some of his best films?

Thanks!!

I liked him in the thriller Lakeview Terrace. It's very intense and he and Samuel L. Jackson are great as warring neighbors.

I liked him with Selma Blair in the romantic comedy Purple Violets.

He's also great with Ellen Page in the thriller Hard Candy.

I thought he was the best thing in Watchmen (plus you see him naked a lot in that movie!!!)

"Little Children" as the neighbor who has an affair with Kate Winslet (they are both married to other people). He is seriously sexy in that movie!

"Little Children" and "Hard Candy" are fantastic! And he's fantastic in both of them!
I saw "Phantom of the Opera" only because Gerard Butler was in it. Didn't care for Patrick at the time.....

If I ever make it onto your s**t list, give me a call. Give me a chance to apologize

He also turned in a beautifully understated performance in The Alamo. My favorite performances of his are Lakeview Terrace and Little Children. He is gripping in Hard Candy.

Hard Candy and Barry Munday are both awesome, and with, um, silimar themes but different approaches. Then there's Watchmen.

HBO movie/miniseries "Angels in America". Tons of Emmy and Golden Globe awards. Patrick was nominated as supporting actor for both Emmy and GG. He is incredible in this.

"Hard Candy"...wow...just wow.

"Little Children" is a must-see

"Watchmen" is marvelous

"Barry Munday"...he is amazing in that. He handles his character's evolution so beautifully.

and, of course, POTO for his gorgeous tenor. :o)
