    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Philip Seymour Hoffman


    unirico41 — 12 years ago(February 04, 2014 10:30 AM)

    If youve never seen a movie with Philip Seymour Hoffman in it, then youve missed out on quite a lot. An actor of enormous depth of nuance and subtlety, which he was known to bring to his roles, has been darkened. Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment at age 46 this past weekend. The news has shocked the entertainment industry as well as fans who have seen his work. Recognized as being one of the best actors of his generation, Hoffman felt comfortable being the star of a film as much as the character actor in it. He gave us some of the more memorable performances youll see in the past 25 years in cinema.

            Somebody actually mentioned
            25th Hour
            ! I think that is one that not a lot of people have seen. And yes, he was good in it.

              1. Capote
              2. Almost Famous
              3. Along Came Polly
              4. Boogie Nights
              5. 25th Hour
                I know in Along Came Polly he had a small role and it was mediocre, But I loved it when he told Ben Stiller they had to leave because he "sharted". It was sooooo funny to me! He had a lot of funny moments in that film. He will be missed.

                  I know the film is not high-brow, but I loved him in MI3. He managed to convey -without having any of the physical characteristics that usually go along with that kind of role - a real, chilling menace.

                    I couldn't agree more about 111chis role in MI3. He was so good, he frightened me. Chilling is the right word. And it was great to see him in an action picture, as no one expects it.
                    MI3 is hugely entertaining, an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride all the way, and he was perfect.
                    Will miss you Phillip.

                      I absolutely agree. My favourite performance of his is in Synecdoche, New York, but MI3 stands out too. Some of his scenes with Cruise are brutally intense.

                              I pretty much agree with most picks but I would put The Master at number 1. By far his best performance.

                                One of the best actors ever. This shouldn't have happened. Still in shock.

                                  Lots of sterling nominees here. I shall add another many of you may not have seen, an amazing animated film called Mary and Max. PSH is the voice of Max. It is not for little kids.

                                    His best performance would likely be in Before The Devil Knows Youre Dead. To think any further would be too hard, so Ill skip it.
