The Top Ten Philip Seymour Hoffman Performances

[@kathrynmcelroy5658]

Oh my god this incredible talent we rarely, rarely get.

[@mattm597]

Philip was the real deal. He was an actor first, a star second.

[@NYR11949]

Superbly stated

[@gmar7836]

Pirate Radio and talented mr Ripley, almost famous I loved him in. Can’t forget the big Lebowski

[@danielrunyon4830]

his name is Lebowski? that's your name dude

[@dorrittakach970]

Capote, Doubt,and Flawless were my favorites. I so miss him. He played each role perfectly.

[@jaycuthbert245]

I'd have to put his "the master" performance as one of the front runners for sure

[@michaelbailey1578]

I discovered Hoffman personally seeing him as Freddie in The Talented Mr. Ripley. He was magnificent and I highly recommend it. Thank you.

[@colinbates2002]

We all miss him. I don’t agree with the list, but it is fine enough for missing him. Thanks.

[@kateSullivan3927]

He did so much good work...may have been hard to edit it down..

[@powshredder3716]

IMO the greatest actor there ever was.

[@jonkline709]

I miss him as an actor, but feel sorry as a human being for the pain he must of carried for being an addict. I’m 8.5 years sober

[@lucycarlos4923]

I think he was beyond,I hope you found the light,that light,that, somehow gets gobbeled up,in less than a second when we addicts drop the torch of hope.what a special man he seemed to be.

[@MrSweetlou69]

mr. Hoffman was one of our best actors too bad we find out after his death of his greatness ,R I P where ever you are!!!!!

[@Wolfsky9]

THE VERY FINEST ACTOR IN MY ENTIRE LIFETIME. -------------RIP--------------------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o

[@Wolfsky9]

I LOVED PSH in " Almost Famous " ---------------he was just sooooo great. -----------------------WolfSky9, 74 y/o

[@Wanda-b6c]

Boogie Nights and The Talented Mr Ripley The should be another word for awesome and he would still exceed that! RIP Mr Phillip Seymour Hoffman 😢❤

[@coreygolphenee9633]

He embodies the man that we all are but none of us want to be. He makes you look at yourself in the mirror and learn how to live with who your across his broad range of roles

[@garyhatstat8449]

Well said!!!

[@rigby7662]

Perfectly put 🖤

[@glennburch1081]

Was not famiiar with his work b4 seeing him in Boogy Nights, I knew this actor was something special from that performance and began educating myself with this artist afterwards. What a talent, gone from us far, far too soon!

[@coimbralaw]

Before the Devil Knows you’re Dead is so underrated

[@ericmsandoval]

Never noticed how many films he worked with Amy Adams in. This list is a bit off, but PSH is definitely one of the best actors ever. His character in Happiness was particularly entertaining.

[@Jinka1950]

Drugs or a double edge sword.

[@maryclaremayo6157]

It's impossible to keep it to only 10! The Master is brilliant. Owning Mahowny, Love Liza, The Savages, Synechdoche NY, Flawless, A Most Wanted Man, Hard Eight, Magnolia, Moneyball, God's Pocket, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Patch Adams, Scent of a Woman, Red Dragon, Punch Drunk Love, The Ides of March. He is so missed.

[@shawnbingley5433]

I’m a total movie nerd..I’ve seen 100’0s of films..there are a lot of good actors out there, there have been a ton of great actors through the ages..I really believe that Philip Seymour Hoffman is at the top of the pile..phenomenal actor..the best of the best..

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

His cameo in Hard Eight is also mind-blowingly good. In less than 3 minutes he almost steals the entire film.

[@tebonete]

Legit

[@haboab0216]

Would been greatest actor of all time he is a true legend what a loss

[@capthappy8884]

Just commands the screen whenever he's on it! Absolutely remarkable talent!!! Rip!

[@cammeat]

Never seen an actor make every role his new greatest role no matter what he was doing. The best ever

[@lawrencegannone3650]

Amazing! Thank you. And, also, just amazing 'cause it's PSH, period. Nuance!!!!! . . . And, just gotta say, all around, 25th Hour is all around, everyone in it, everything about it, incredible movie making/viewing . . .

[@JohnPaul-le4pf]

"The Talented Mr. Ripley."

[@gmar7836]

Yessss!!! As Freddie

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

"Tommy! How's the peeping?"

[@phineasbluster2872]

He was right on mark playing Freddy. He showed us that somewhat innocent intimacy that goes on between two straight, very preppy, young men. (I.e., between him & Dicky.)

[@crystalohio6045]

Freddy from The Talented Mr. Ripley was my favorite of many!!

[@joewas2225]

I don't agree with the list but it's still a good one.

[@Silverstormer555]

Magnolia.....derrrr!

[@FilmThePoliceFTP]

Im stoked thay sandy lyle is on this!!!

[@boycompass7769]

How you missed him in "Flawless" is beyond me!

[@mrp1924]

Freddie Miles, such a loss, RIP

[@beaulyons1977]

Enjoyed all of his movies

[@lanegeorgeton8266]

Capote may be his best. Let’s all aspire to both

[@jamespettit6352]

How did owning Mahoney not make the list

[@maryclaremayo6157]

That was such a good film and he was so very brilliant.

[@penguin44ca]

All of them

[@Salamandarmoon]

Owning Mahoney - not so well known but amazing

[@glenbearh9109]

I met a few times and he was quite and very nice. At the time I just thought he was another member of my group even though I saw his movies. Different in real life.

[@theriversexitsense]

I find this list strangely missing a lot of his best work, especially Synecdoche. But many of his small indie movies were better than MI3 or along came.poly

[@counterflow5719]

PSH born with "bad hair", but turns bad hair into an asset. His hair always seems to be its own character.

[@andrefick2077]

Synechdoche, New York?

[@SlowPeace25]

For the next 100 years plus young people will watch PSH and say to themselves "I want to be an actor".

[@jc5388]

Happiness

[@iconoclast137]

i wish he had been in something with jack black

[@maryclaremayo6157]

He reminded me of Jack Black in those scenes from Along Came Polly and Almost Famous.

[@kurtinklern3262]

Can you please tell us about the music played at the end of this video during the credits???

[@goliathsparrow1082]

What's going on with Amy Adams face during that scene with Hanks

[@deblester]

Flawless was his best performance

[@rocknrolla2426]

25th Hour is an underrated movie. That and Summer of Sam were the only two films by Spike Lee that weren't blackcentric and they were both superb.

[@gmar7836]

Sumner of Sam fantastic movie

[@eatdzrt]

Why not still watch and enjoy a movie that is black centric? You don’t have to see yourself in order to enjoy art.

[@MattShatterly4247]

I liked him as Dusty in TWISTER 🌪️

[@moniquemcpherson6927]

PSH was quite talented a wide variety of persona.

[@robert43er]

... and Jack goes boating (Jack in love).....

[@music4dages]

What about “A Most Wanted Man”?

[@cosmiclounge]

PSH should've played DFW.

[@michaelramirez1804]

He would have played a great Teddy Roosevelt… rip

[@andrewsward46]

One of his most memorable performances was in The Talented Mr Ripley as the overwhelmingly self assured, over privileged and disdainful rich boy whom Ripley kills with a marble bust.

[@Edcarpenter67]

The Big Lebowski.

[@juangrande7374]

He was the creepy Reverend Veasey in Cold Mountain. The weirdest character in a movie full of weird characters.

[@winonafrog]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@mrugod]

Happiness? anyone????

[@Thepilotepisode]

@@mrugod haha!! Too dark for my taste, reading the Wikipedia plot description was enough to make me sick to my stomach. I heard it was a great performance though

[@mrugod]

@@Thepilotepisode it’s actually a really good movie, aside from “those” scenes.

[@carlosturner8200]

Ha ha! He describing their parents store!

[@anthonytripp2251]

I didn't see that Spike Lee movie. But then, nobody did.

[@nickmeyers9219]

That's a thick door 😅

[@isabellawhooley8787]

Owning Mahoney? Magnolia? Psssht

[@gmar7836]

Yes magnolia

[@carlosturner8200]

No Scotty from boogie nights??

[@gmar7836]

Yes it’s listed. He’s in the car crying.

[@haboab0216]

Church scene was amazing story

[@gregstewart5081]

I heard Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead was good. Rented it to watch with my parents. Movie begins with fat wheezing Hoffman doing Marisa Tomei doggystyle

[@christopherc3951]

Love Liza is an acting tour de force.

[@Enr227]

The so-called rational Mr Moore was exactly as rigid in his beliefs as he was accusing the "master" of being. He refused to answer, "if you already know the answer to your questions, why do you keep asking?"

[@braxbonner5506]

Mattress Man

[@MaltedJacker]

Time for a

[@robertwhough]

Actually, his best performance isn't even on the list (which is saying something, given what a list it is!) Have a look at Owning Mahoney, in which PSH plays a compulsive gambler ....

[@gmar7836]

If only he laid off the drugs..

[@tebonete]

He wouldn't have been the same actor if he did

[@lonepheasant3489]

Im a ducking idiot

[@adamb.9968]

Ehh…

[@AllDetours]

No Happiness? Gtfo

[@benadams1661]

The Master was such a great cast Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams

[@NYR11949]

It's probably the only movie of his that I didn't really care for, but his acting was phenomenal as always.

[@benadams1661]

9:04 The way his hand continues tremble slightly
