What a List of Philip Seymour Hoffman's 10 Best Movies

This is, unfortunately, worth republishing after Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic death on Super Bowl Sunday. His output equals that of an actor much older than his too-young 46 years. This is a list I originally published on April 20, 2009.

He's too good of an actor to pick his "best performances," so here are his best movies:

10. Red Dragon, 2002

09. Along Came Polly, 2004

08. Capote, 2005 (A favorite author, a disappointing movie, a great performance by PSH)

07. Magnolia, 1999

06. The Talented Mr. Ripley, 1999

05. Boogie Nights, 1997

04. Punch-Drunk Love, 2002

03. Almost Famous, 2000

02. 25th Hour, 2002

01. The Big Lebowski, 1998

Honorable mention of the one PSH movie I haven't seen but want to see: Empire Falls, 2005
