Five by five in the hizzouse - Real Men Edition

'Cause I haven't done it in a while...

Favorite films with Dustin Hoffman

1. The Graduate - easy choice
2. Stranger than Fiction - recent and really good
3. Little Big Man - bad makeup but entertaining
4. Rain Man - the least comedic of the list
5. Wag the Dog - hasn't aged well

Honestly, I was surprised at how few of his films I've really enjoyed considering his status as Great Actor

Favorite films with Robert DeNiro

1. Godfather: Part II - one of the greatest films of modern cinema
2. Brazil - far from the best, but loads of fun
3. Raging Bull - tough call over the next one
4. Goodfellas - near-perfect film
5. Heat - this'll show up again later in today's post

Phenomenal five films there - Brazil being the weakest - and blows Hoffman's five out of the water

Favorite films with Clint Eastwood - all westerns 'cause his greatest works have all been from right there...

1. Unforgiven
2. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
3. For a Few Dollars More
4. Fistful of Dollars
5. High Plains Drifter

Favorite films with Al Pacino

1. The Godfather: Part II - two of the greatest actors of the generation but never in the film together
2. The Godfather - surpassed just barely by the sequel
3. Donnie Brasco - it's amazing how type-cast some actors get
4. Scent of a Woman - one word got Pacino another Oscar
5. Glengarry Glen Ross - vulgar and full of outstanding actors acting

Favorite films with Morgan Freeman

1. Unforgiven - easily one of the oustanding films of the decade
2. Batman Begins - not his biggest part, but one of the best comic book flicks yet made
3. The Shawshank Redemption - took me a number of run-throughs to actually get through it, but well worth the time
4. Se7en - not enjoyable but well made
5. Unleashed - two well made films that don't fit together in the least
