Everyone of course has there likes and dislikes. I like joaquin as freddie quell, but the question remains, other than personal favorites are any of these films cemented as Classic films or even Cult classics? None of those films have stood the test of time, so how do you think the figures would fair?
The only other person that has any business being made from Gangs of New York is the Priest. His 5min performance was greater than all of Dicaprios in the entire movie. :lol
Opening Battle Bill and Priest Vallon....Now There's a shelf!
Rainmans greatest.

a fair question but i dont think every release of RM's has been from a classic film.and i do feel that the movies i mentioned will be seen as some of the best of the time.without a doubt, actually.

take anton chigurgh, for example--and not to disparage the film, the performance, or the figure selection--one cant say he's stood the test of time. can they? but you just know you are witnessing something so electric.
I'm actually with Turbo, in that I would prefer for him to tackle something really new. But in that same vein, I would not want to see him remaking Alex (even though he has remade a figure in the past with Chaplin).
And I agree with Alex about Anton, though I do think it will hold up as a reasonably important movie, in the same way other Coen Bros. films have. It's no Big Lebowski or Fargo, but it's an exceptional movie that won big awards. When you get the peanut gallery dictating the figures that will be made though, you are often going to see less than truly iconic choices. Probably the best example of this is Dexter, which is already yesterday's news. But he even went after Tombstone, which while good, is by no means truly classic and iconic IMO.

tombstone is enjoyable, really only for kilmer's performance. without that, the movie would be mediocre at best. not that there arent a lot of fine performances in that flick but it's a pretty lame, traditional script.
i'm not dying for v2 alex delarge, either, kara. and i agree: who gives a ***** about dexter? frankly, i never did. that voice over kills me. stick a fork in it. its so overdone... anyway dont get me started.
@turbo: i guess what i'm getting at is that for me it's about characters i dig and performances that blow me away. think it's not such a bad idea to mix it up some: having clear-cut "classics" and newer stuff that's brilliant.

He won an oscar for that character. No country is without a doubt a classic from top to bottom.
My whole stance is the test. Most of what Rainman has done is cemented as great character performances and all have interesting elements to them that add to their presence. What would the guy from the pines film have that would really stand out?

In my mind, you need time and distance to recognize real "classics." And if you look at the list of Oscar winning films over the years, I don't think they all still hold as being genuinely "classic," particularly since films/actors win awards there for various reasons, not always being merit. And the Oscar that year went to DDL for There Will Be Blood. But No Country won the Best Picture Oscar.

I think No country has the formula. Great cast, great story, Directors, Great screenplay. Its a win for me. But its held it's own, its not like this film just came out yesterday.

I love the movie, but I'm just not sure I would call it, or anything from the 2000s, a classic just yet. Maybe the closest thing to that would be Batman Begins, because I'm fairly certain it was a real game changer in terms of dramatic comic book movies.

what doesnt make sense about that? the movie is 5 years old.
@turbo: i really dont think awards are a valuable test: they are nothing more than fairly ludicrous popularity contests bought with money. you dont get nominated unless the production company mounts a massive campaign--which in many cases has come to rival the very budget of the movie in question. but bardem's was a great performance; however, though i love the film, it should not have beaten 'there will be blood' for best picture and undoubtedly, time will show 'blood' to be the greater work.
about my choices:i think half of them were nominated for a best actor or supporting, actually. but beyond that, and more importantly to me, they are all great performances by actors i admire.
