No one can deny the talent that Philip Seymour Hoffman showcases in almost every role he stars in. Whether it's a comedy, drama or other genre of film, you can be sure of one thing: If its starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, it will display the talent of one of the best actors working today.
Here are my top five favorite films that star or feature Philip Seymour Hoffman in a leading or supporting role.
The first movie I will discuss is a rather dark film and was released on a smaller scale, as many of his films often are. Before The Devil Knows You're Dead is a difficult film to get through, but Hoffman's acting is nothing short of top notch.
Another great film featuring the great Philip Seymour Hoffman is Twister. Again, this is not a leading role for Hoffman, but you cannot deny that he knows how to choose a role and does not simply jump at the gun to act in any movie. I haven't seen this movie in quite some time, but I still remember how amazing the special effects looked in theaters.
Another great film that features Philip Seymour Hoffman is The Invention of Lying. Hoffman plays a bartender in this Ricky Gervais comedy. This movie takes place in a world where lying does not exist, and people are ruthlessly truthful.
Philip Seymour Hoffman doesn't always feel the need to play the lead role in a film and that is most apparent to me as his role of Brandt in The Big Lebowski. He may not have been the star of this movie, but there is no doubt he helped to contribute to its greatness.
One other film that I feel the need to discuss is the movie that nabbed him an Academy Award for Best Actor In A Lead Role, and that was of course the movie Capote. Hoffman played the part of Truman Capote as no one else could.
Hopefully there are one or more Philip Seymour Hoffman films on this list which you have not yet seen. Get familiar with this incredible actor, because he will be around for years to come.
