Princess Bride without a doubt. Though he's excellent in all of his films of course.

I would love to see those earlier films that the previous posters talked about (Another Country and Lady Jane) because they sound really good but the bad guy thing with him definitely does it for me. I would also love to see him as a main player in the next two SAW films as well! It is so hard to pick a favorite movie of his because all the ones I have seen are so good, it has to be a list, here goes:
- Princess Bride (took me forever to see it and when I finally did I owned it)
- Twister (love the accent and the overall appearance)
- Liar Liar (two words, goof ball)
- SAW (the movie that made me really notice him though I had seen him in others before this one, somethin' about that Dr. Gordon, hehe)
- Kiss The Girls (just call me Mrs. Nick Ruskin, all-around great performance and the view isn't bad either!)
- Ella Enchanted (great hair and he does sing "Shake Your Booty".gets me everytime!)
The list may change with the movies I see but for now this is where it is. Sorry it went so long, it is 3:30 in the morning after all, my brain just took off typing all of this. I shall take my leave now.

I've enjoyed his presence in Bram Stoker's Dracula, Kiss The Girls, Saw and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but my favorite performance from Elwes is definitely as Ted Bundy in the tv movie The Riverman. Bruce Greenwood is technically the lead actor in that movie, and he is excellent as always, but Elwes' portrayal of Bundy just steals the whole movie for me. One of the best protrayals of a serial killer I have ever seen.

Strange that no one appears to have mentioned 'Another Country', in which he was excellent. He was also very good in 'The Jungle Book', even though his character was awful (he starred with future 'Game of Thrones' actress, Lena Headey).
Check out these two films if you haven't already seen them!
