Favorite role of a favorite actor

  1. Man on the Moon (Jim Carrey)

Perfectly mimicked Andy Kaufman

Favorite role of a favorite actor

  1. Man on the Moon (Jim Carrey)
  2. The Fifth Element (both Bruce Willis and Chris Tucker)

They shined onscreen together as the hilarious comedic straight man/weirdo team of Korben Dallas and Ruby Rhod.

Tucker’s role in this movie narrowly beats out Rush Hour for the top spot in his filmography in my opinion, and I’ve only seen Die Hard once and didn’t think it was all that.

  3. The Bad News Bears (Walter Matthau)
  4. 50 First Dates (Drew Barrymore)

She is so cute and refreshing as Adam Sandler’s love interest Lucy, a woman with anterograde amnesia who repeatedly falls in love with Adam (or sometimes it spectacularly backfires) and she forgets who he is at the start of each new day.

Apparently, this kind of thing can actually happen. The human brain is scary. This film is played for romantic comedy, though, not for horror or exploitation.

The part was written for him.

  5. Arsenic and Old Lace (Peter Lorre)
  6. Iron Man 3 (Robert Downey Jr.)

I could have picked several of RDJ’s movies as billionaire playboy genius philanthropist Tony Stark/superhero Iron Man. I liked this one in particular because it’s his first appearance post-Battle of New York from The Avengers, and he’s clearly suffering from PTSD from having gone through that wormhole to deliver the nuke to the Chitauri mothership and having barely survived.

He demonstrates reckless, suicidal behavior in Iron Man 3, and has multiple panic attacks. It was deeply moving for me as someone with mental illness.

  5. Lethal Weapon (Mel Gibson)

He is unhinged, especially in the first film of the tetralogy. The scene at the school where he stops a sniper with just a handgun. The rooftop jumper scene. The electric shock torture. The chase down the freeway. The fight on Roger’s front lawn in the pouring rain of the broken fire hydrant. And he’s the good guy, who won by out-psychoing Gary Busey!

Should have won an Oscar - in one movie he plays a schlub of a writer, a Wall Street genius, a junkie in withdrawal and a polished U.S. Senate candidate, and is completely convincing as each.
