    I haven't seen any Scottish movies of the 70s. In fact I think 'Neds' and 'Acid House' are the only two Scottish movies I've watched. Both pretty good (and on youtube) if yr into it.

    I thought marathon man was the only good thing hoffman did
     
  13. :bears:
     
  14. he was good in 'Little Big Man' and okay in 'ATPM'...and at a push, 'Lenny'...but other than that, a little wanker,.

    he has several good roles. But he never applied his craft and became lazy.

    I think Hoffman is a great actor

    He was great in Papillion
     
  20. Hut*Hut

    Hut*Hut The Mackintosh of temazepam

    He never became a grating parody of himself like Pacino/De Niro/Nicholson

    Anthony thinks Tom Cruise is a great actor but Dustin Hoffman isn't

    the mind reels...

    Any underrated 70's films you want to name or 70's film that needs to be rediscovered by the ipod generation? I think 'Looking For Mr. Goodbar' starring Diane Keaton deserves to be rediscovered. This film shits on most of our current dramas, seriously.

    huh? The last ten years the guy has been basically known as a Focker and martial arts Cartoon.

    At one point he was really good. He was excellent in Rainman. But he hasnt done shit for a while now. All the movies he does are fucking horrible. And he is just coasting. He is not on the level of a pacino or a deniro. Never will be.

    Whats that got to do with what i just said? He's barely been working, the dudes nearly 80 years old. I thought he was excellent in Last Chance Harvey.....never mind voicing cartoons, Pacino, Nicholson and de Niro have been cartoons of themselves for years and years. HOOOOO HA!

    Coasting is better than embarrassing yourself i think in my mind. I've cringed at more than a couple of performances Pacino & De Niro have put in over the last 15 years.

    We can go by their last ten movies and you can find excellent performances in more than one movie in starring roles. You cant say the same for Hoffman.

    Deniro was excellent in Being Flynn and silver lining playbook.
