His best movie?

Just saw him in "A Month Of Sundays" which was Rod Steiger's last film. While this certainly wouldn't qualify as MP's best movie, he gave a surprisingly good performance. Definitely a different type of role for him.

Bloodraynej/k. LOL. I LOVE Eddie and the Cruisers! Michael Pare played an excellent supporting part in the film (the once great Tom Berenger really carried the film), and did an excellent job fleshing out 7echis character as the lead in the guilty pleasure sequel, Eddie and the Cruisers II- Eddie Lives! The first Eddie film, an '80's classic! Great music, feels like a biopic, though it's not.

You mean we have to pick only one? Not possible!
Into the Sun
Killing Streets - where he plays twins was good too.
Triplecross - was excellent!
The Philadelphia Experiment - was memorable.
I loved - Coyote Run (also titled Sworn Enemies) where he played a drunk. He was soooo good in this one.
Sunset Heat
The Closer (with Danny Aiello this would have gotten Aiello nominated for an Oscar and was pulled from theaters after Dancing with Wolves starting taking all awards.)
Sorry no way to pick just one. -

I have to admit, I have not seen much of him in the last 15 - 20 years, but the movies I HAVE seen him in in that period have been HORRID!!!
I remember back in the early 80s, he was a real up-n-comer. What happened to him?
SoF was a relative hit (although I was not a huge fan) and Philadelphia Experiment was a mild classic. But without a doubt, Eddie and the Cruisers was a total classic. Although not a movie, Greatest American Hero was great as well

Have to say Eddie and the Cruisers. As a commentary on the subject of fame and what it does to you, it stands up even now. He was good, but obviously the late, great (yes I know he's alive, but his ability seems not to be) Tom Berenger was great.
