Poll question: Favorite Johnny Depp Movie?

Favorite Johnny Depp Movie?
I'm only going to list 10, get over it and pick ONE

[Supormom]

1. Pirates of the Caribbean

I just can't help myself!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

2. Fughedaboutit

Donnie Brasco.

[StClone]

3. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

Great movie. Ed Wood too.

[Mobius]

7. yeah I should have had that in there

my cat is named after Gilbert Grape, after all.

4. The Ninth Gate

It invited the viewer into an entirely separate world, all about rare book collecting (Satanic ones at that). The film had a very creepy atmosphere, without overt horror or special effects. Some have said that the film dragged in the middle. I don't think so at all. It was a nearly perfect film, one of my favorite horror flicks.

[DrWeird]

16. I saw the last 30 minutes of that movie.

It must have started out well, because the last 30 minutes were horrible.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

29. I have been a rare book dealer and they caught the nuances of the

trade well. At least on a few occasions, I could identify.

[jean]

30. but the ending was just too lame!

[Pert_UK]

38. Agreed. Read the book, the ending is much better.

Arturo Perez-Reverte's The Dumas Club.

[Pert_UK]

37. Read the book it was based on......

The Dumas Club by Arturo Perez-Reverte.

The film is a decent transfer, but actually leaves out 50% of the plot, where the whole process of finding the complete Satanic manual is linked to the 3 Musketeers.

Seriously, one of my favourite books ever and much better than the film. (The women in the book are sexier and Corso is NOT Johnny Depp).

[DrWeird]

5. Fear and Loathing.

He got Hunter Thompson dead on.

[mmm]

8. right on

he was awesome in that movie

[jus_the_facts]

31. IT'S THE FUCKING... BATS....MAN!! Ahh the poor bastard will find out soon

...enough!! Definitely the BEST!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Dead_Parrot]

6. 9th gate...

no question... although Emmanuelle Seigner may have something to do with that. :9

Lookingforward to PotC2, though.

[Skittles]

9. Sleepy Hollow

he was EXCELLENT!

[mhr]

10. Benny And June - A Great Love Story - Great Music By The Proclaimers

eom

[Mobius]

11. there i changed it a bit

I wish there were 20 poll questions.

[jean]

12. Uh uh - I like Secret Window

[Mobius]

15. havent seen it yet

so in fairness i couldnt put it in here.

[jean]

28. ooh, I think you'll like it. Just sit there from the first minute and

listen. Enough said - not giving anything else away.

This is another Depp movie that opens with his face stretched across the whole screen.

Oh - one piece of advice: go at a time when you can avoid the young teen girl crowd because they laugh and giggle during every Depp scene.

[sonias]

13. Johnny gets better with age

Both physically and in his acting skills. I love that he stays away from most commercial blockbusters and does films he only wants to do.

Johnny rocks!!

Sonia

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. Chocolat

[NightTrain]

17. Went with "Ed Wood."

Not only was it a terrific film, but I've long been a fan of Wood's, um, unique approach to moviemaking.

[bigwillq]

18. The "Grape" rules in my book

but all the others listed are Ab Fab. I also liked Donnie Brasco. Johnny could be reading the phone book and still be sexy.

[marigold20]

19. Hard to choose between Ed Wood and Gilbert Grape and

Pirates.

[procopia]

20. Crybaby

I'm the only one?

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Benny and Joon. It was the first, and only (besides kids) video that

I actually purchased. My daughter and I love watching it. Johnny Depp is a master of physical comedy. :hi:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

22. DEAD MAN

They air it on Independent Film Channel every once in awhile. Great, great, great, GREAT movie. Starring Depp along with John Hurt, Robert Mitchum, Billy Bob Thornton, Crispin Glover, Alfred Molina, Gabriel Byrne, and Iggy Pop as a crossdressing, Bible-reading hunter. Music by Neil Young. Love it!!!!!!!

[Lizz612]

25. Seconded!

Creepy strange kinda morbid, but man that was a really good movie!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

27. Thirded! Saw this after I posted to the original.

William Blake. Gotta love it!

[Mobius]

32. that scene with Iggy Pop as the pioneer woman just kills me

And how BB Thornton keeps saying "By God" as he and the other man argue over who gets Johnny Depp first. Weird but oddly hilarious. :shrug:

[Zorra]

35. A fantastic film. One of my favorites.

[Kat45]

23. Donnie Brasco

Loved that movie.

[Spider Jerusalem]

24. I have to say "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"...

but it's a tough choice. There's "Dead Man", "Ed Wood", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Chocolat", "From Hell", "Blow"...all of which probablyt run a close second.

Personally I think Depp is the finest American actor of his generation. (Now someone needs to get him to do "Hamlet" or "Henry V"....heh...)

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

26. Sorry.... DEAD MAN

My new Depp favorite thanks to IFC.

[MrSlayer]

33. BLOW!

Great movie.

[Sugarbleus]

34. I agree...saw BLOW four times...I haven't seen

fear and loathing yet, heard it was good.

[philosophie_en_rose]

43. Blow was an excellent movie.

The part at the end when he hallucinates about reuniting with his daughter is heartbreaking.

[Sugarbleus]

45. I knowwwww , it was sad........really interesting movie

in terms of historical value too. No doubt, I'll watch it AGAIN lol

[robertpaulsen]

36. The Brave

Not available in America on VHS or DVD. I copied a British DVD. This is Johnny Depp's directorial debut. Haunting, surreal, evocative film about a Native American (Johnny Depp) who makes a deal with Marlon Brando (excellent cameo) to be killed in a week's time for $50,000. The movie deals with this week and the time he spends making peace with his family. I've seen it three times and it gets better with each viewing. Depp does great directing, very reminiscent of Jarmusch or David Lynch. Worth watching, if you can find it.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

39. Other: BLOW

and POTC

[non sociopath skin]

40. Boy, that was a tough one!

Loved "From Hell" and "Ed Wood" too. But "Pirates" was such a riot!

The Skin

[2bfree]

41. I really liked Depp in Chocolate.

I loved him as the river rat!

[supernova]

42. No! Don't make me choose!

I love them all! There's a Johnny character for every mood:

Edward Scissorhands - I just want to hug him!!

Gilbert Grape - Gilbert is very dependable, and I do need that in my life.

Sam - Gotta love Sam! He's just adorable and more mature than Benny to boot.

William Blake - for those who think Dead Man is morbid, I challenge you to look at it again.

The Brave - I would love to get my hands on a copy. I'm dying (eh) to see it, but I can't afford to outbid everybody on Ebay.

Hunter S Thompson - I love this movie. About as close as you could come to bringing HST's high-flying prose to life. And yes, Johnny does him perfectly.

Roux - Man, I'd run away with Roux anytime! An Irish Gypsy, now there's a combo!

Frank Abberline - Straight-laced Victorian widower by day. Opium fiend by night. But he treats the ladies well.

Dean Corso - Hmmm A great fuck but he will steal my books later. Better hide that first edition Saroyan I have...

Capt Jack - He'd never want to leave that island if I got a hold of him!

George Jung and Donnie Brasco are good but I'm not attracted to them, oddly.

[SiouxJ]

44. Once Upon a Time in Mexico

was great too! He just keeps getting better and better. I can't choose a favorite. I like most of them for different reasons.
