1. Moscow on the Hudson
I don't know why, I loved it.
That and "The world according to Garp"
I loved that one too.

2. Don't you hate that "other" vote with no explanation!
I voted "Dead Poet Society" - one of my favorite films!

13. I liked What Dreams May Come strictly for the visual effects
They were pretty unique :).

Other than that, it was sappy as hell, but I did like the eye-candy.

12. I was about to put Insomnia
but then you reminded me of One Hour Photo. He was very disturbing in both, but One Hour Photo he was a lot better in. He was very creepy in it, plus it was a good film, recommended.

16. this is a great movie and he is great in it
but in my opinion, he's been better in other movies. though it is all relative because i think he is a fantastic actor in everything he does.

19. I actually liked the first hour of Popeye.
When Swee'Pea gets kidnapped it jumps about 17 sharks.

The last hour sucks like a Electrolux.

25. "Dead Again"
How can you forget this endearing portrayal of a foul-mouthed, psychiatrist who molests his female patients and ends up working in a corner market handing out advice to people seeking their past lives?

OK, it was a bit part in an obscure movie, but he played it well.

27. The BirdCage
I usually don't dislink any of his movies. I thought Dead Poets Society rocked and also Patch Adams. But my all time fav is the bird cage. That movie is a riot!

30. He's done so many good films
it's very hard to pick, but i went with "The Birdcage" because it's gay. OK so i'm biased.

33. Damn! Mork has had himself a fine career, hasn't he?
I loved his emotion in Good Will Hunting. So many others rank right up there, though.
