Reverend Jax Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Put Do Juan DeMarco for the ladies. Didn't care for it myself. At the risk of being castrated by the resident males of this board, I thought Chocolat was really good. I foresee lots of votes going to F&LILV, and Junker will vote Scissorhands. I'm still undecided myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 What about From Hell? Or Benny and Joon? As far as Depp's mvies go, it's not about the quality of the film overall, but the quality of his performance. Which is nothing short of stellar. I did go for Fear and Loathing, I mean, he (as well as Benicio Del Toro) did a fucking fantastic job! And it was funny as hell...better than Where the Buffolo Roam, and it stuck real close to the book. There's nothing worse than reading a fantastic book, and then having Hollywood make a fucking terrible film based on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Yeah, I thought he did a great job in From Hell, too...but, ah, there can never be a perfect poll when there's only ten choices. The Fear and Loathing performances was brilliant, but I think that'll get enough votes, so mine's going to Sleepy Hollow, just cause he cracks me up everytime I watch that movie.

Reverend Jax Posted October 19, 2002 Author Share Posted October 19, 2002 I didn't see From Hell, but I did see this E! special where they were interviewing celebrities (hey I know, hard to believe), and when they were talking with a celebrity, in the caption it would have the celebrity's name, and below it, the last movie s/he was a part of. So they were talking to Heather Graham and her caption was Heather Graham From Hell. I nearly choked laughing. Anyway, I did the best I could witht he poll, but I don't remember hearing anything one way or another about his performance in From Hell.

TulipO Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Did a great accent...Essex i think...or maybe Sussex, I can't remember which my friend Mathew was from, but that particular region pronounces their th's as f's. (i.e Caflics=Catholics, Froat=throat) It's more subtle than that, but that's the general idea.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Yeah, he did do a pretty much flawless accent (certainly a bit better than Heather Graham's) and he did his usual great job with the role. Unfortunately the film didn't require too much out of him, but even so it was exceptional. But it prolly wasn't memorable enough to make it to this poll, so 's ok. I am surprised you didn't mention Donnie Brasco, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Well i thought he was pretty good in sleepy hollow thats a cool film!! From Hell was ok too, he did well with a fairly plain role! Sleepy hollow gets the vote though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TulipO Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I forgot about Donnie Brasco!! He was great in that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Haha, if you hadn't mentioned that TulipO I was about to. Flawless accent? Your kidding right? As it goes I'll probably go for Fear and Loathing.... for being so damn funny but its a tough one I guess. "This is bat country..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 "It's not a monster movie, it's a supernatural thriller!" Ed Wood gets the vote tho I might've been tempted by Donnie Brasco or Benny and Joon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
