Favourite Edward Norton Movie?

[Terror Zone]

How many of you who voted have even seen Primal Fear?

 

[Madmick]

(1a) Fight Club
(1b) American History X
(3) Primal Fear
(4) 25th Hour
(5) The People vs. Larry Flynt
(6) The Italian Job
(7) The Illusionist
(8) Rounders
(9) The Score
(10) The Painted Veil
(butthumpinglast) The Incredible Hulk

People hate, but I loved the remake of The Italian Job. My favorite performance by him was in AHX, but my favorite movie is FC, so they share the top. 25th Hour is a better movie than Primal Fear, but I don't care, I love that movie, and I recommend it as a hidden gem from that period.

His best performance? American History X.

His best film? Fight Club.

 

[Madmick]

No, it was great fun but overrated. The Score's better than Fight Club.

No. Not it's not. And it isn't close.

 

[Substance Abuse]

No, it was great fun but overrated. The Score's better than Fight Club.

This is fucking hilarious. No it isn't.

The 25th hour

Not a fan of Spike Lee, but that was a good one.
Hoffman and Pepper were also great in that.

Take out the Hulk and put Stone in there.

 

[Terror Zone]

25th Hour is a better movie than Primal Fear

Lol.

 

[Madmick]

Lol.

I remember my first beer.

Oh, on behalf of SS, I'd be horribly remiss if I didn't mention that Moonrise Kingdom is missing from the list.

 

[blink_man182]

Fight Club. Favourite movie of all time.

 

[Hatredcopter]

fight club is the clockwork orange of our generation.

I agree with this statement.
My first thought was - no, it is more than that.
But this feeling in itself fulfills the zeitgeist it captured.
It is still relevant, but it is most definately a cultural snapshot who's impact and message is lost if you missed it at the time.

Remember the public outcry?
One film I vividly remember seeing in the cinema

That film was Gold


Best Performance may be a different answer. Primal Fear is definitely a contender.

Death To Smoochy

 

[Halge]

Probably tie between Fight Club and 25th Hour. American History X is better, but kind of a pain to watch. Once or twice is enough. You can watch Fight Club and 25th Hour any number of times.

 

[Hatredcopter]

What's the film where he has twin brother?
that was fun

 

[Madmick]

Death To Smoochy

Haha, holy shit, I forgot how amazing this movie was. I should check his IMDb to remember the other gems I'm forgetting. This is probably my #3 movie with him. Above Primal Fear. That's how much I loved it.

 

[Linkuei]

Fight club, then American History X.

 

[Linkuei]

Death to smoochy was ahead of its time. Waaayyy underated. Love that movie.

Leaves of Grass. Haven't seen it, had to look it up.

 

[dc007]

No, it was great fun but overrated. The Score's better than Fight Club.

American History X is fun but it's really an after school special. The plot is incredibly cliche and the ending is so contrived and cheesy. Don't get me wrong, I watch it when ever it's on cable but it's not close to the quality film that Fight Club is.

 

[Hatredcopter]

Death To Smoochy

Haha, holy shit, I forgot how amazing this movie was.

Death to smoochy was ahead of its time. Waaayyy underated. Love that movie.

I'm watching this now, based on your "recommendation"

 

[riitzni]

Can't believe Smoochy was left off the list. I'm calling werk on this shit.
