The Mickey Rourke Love thread
 

His name has come up a lot since Sin City ..
So what the hell .. lets pay yhe man his dues :

I have always thought this guy was a brilliant actor ..
he made some bad choices .. but he was brilliant.
Directors still recognize this fact and he's getting work again - after a long and rocky spell.

here are the films that matter :

1) Rumblefish
2) Pope of Greewich Villiage
3) Diner
4) Year of the Dragon
5) Barfly
6) Johnny Handsome
7) Homeboy
8) Harley Davidson and the Marlborough man (yeah - i like it)
9) Sin City
10) Angel Heart

want to see him steal a movie where he only has a small part :

- The Pledge
- White Sands
- Once Upon a Time in Mexico

Cheers Mickey ..

(the 1st 4 are my favorite 4 .. in that order... the rest are in no order)

How about 'Bullet'? :p :p :p

Ive only seen him in Sin City and Angel Heart, but he completly stole both of them. If said it before and Ill say it again, but there is, nor ever was, anyone better suited to play Harry Angel.

I did see Once Upon a Time in Mexico, but I dont really remember his character. To be honest, I dont remember much at all other than Johnny Depp's character...at the time I loved it, but looking back Id call it the weakest of the trilogy, simply for the fact that the other two were more memorable.

yeah ...like i said .. he made some baaaaad choices.

but i thought "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" was a class film











:p

i cant help it, i like that one :)


'ya shot me, ya shitbird !

*ahem* I love Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. I am a big Mickey Rourke fan as well; Sin City, Angel Heart and Johnny Handsome rock. :D

Count me in the "Harley Davidson" fan club.

He is a very good actor. I've never been a big fan of him or anything, but i sure as hell respect him.

where's the 9 1/2 Weeks love? He was in full Creepy James Spader mode there
