The Remains of the Day - his best performance. Such a great pairing - him and Emma Thompson.
Howard's End - again, with Thompson.
Nixon - great how he captures Nixon's spirit in this film.
The Edge - another good performance in this little known thriller.
Shadowlands.
Magic - with the creepy puppet.
Amistrad.

Worlds fastest indian, and i really like Instinct
Silence of the lambs obviously
Also The Edge, Meet Joe Black, Hearts I5b4n Atlantis, and Chorus of disapproval
edit to add, Beowulf was probably his last best movie 2007

Dracula
The Mask of Zorro
The Silence of the Lambs
The Elephant Man
I like when he gets to have some fun.

There are so many choices but out of recent stuff I recommend Hitchcock.
Glad to see when Eight Bells Toll listed. Underrated film.

Tony was at his freaky best in 'Magic' and made easy money in 'The Rite', both enjoyable films.

It's only been mentioned once, but The Lion In winter might be his best. Though not really because of him, he's still great in it.

Fracture and The Edge are FANTASTIC Hopkins movies. If you haven't seen them yet, do it!!! You won't be disappointed.

Probably his first really notable role was as Richard the Lionheart in the truly wonderful "The Lion in Winter". This is a must see movie, even though he only had a supporting role.

He was relatively young while leading,
When Eight Bells Toll.
A pretty low budget flick, but a physical role for a Hopkins in his mid 30's. It's kind of fun to watch him in an action role.

I second Hitchcock. I love him in everything but that performance really impressed me.

I second The Elephant Man. It was the first film I saw him in, and he was quite lusciously handsome. His subsequent portrayals of terribly repressed men and the monstrous Hannibal Lecter make one see him in a very different light.

I second The World's Fastest Indian, it's a really good film.
I liked Chaplin, Nixon, Hearts In Atlantis, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, Hitchcock and 360 as well. And The Elephant Man of course.
I really like Thor (only the Branagh one) but I admit that's not for everyone.

LOL yeah, it looks like he randomly picked anything off of the front page in a desperate attempt to look informed. There are some really really REALLY bad films in that list.

I think kennelly got a bit overenthusiastic as by my standards there are some real stinkers on that list.

THANKS for complete list.
He was heartbreaking in Mee5b4t Joe Black.
In 1985, I saw him play megalomaniac villain in London live theatre. Such a superb man and actor!

Other than the aforementioned, Howard's End, Instinct, Shadowlands and Meet Joe Black are all worthy of watching.

Magic [1978] and/or The Bunker [1981]. Both are on YouTube
