Gary Oldman

[Fresh Tendrils]

I just ordered Leon The Professional off of Amazon after hearing a lot of great things about the movie and of course how great of an actor Gary Oldman is. What other movies should I check out?

Re: Gary Oldman

He was good in Batman Begins... I know he's been a bad guy in a movie or two (Airforce One?). I really like the guy.

Yeah, he played the lead terrorist in Airforce One. I suggest you check it out; it's pretty entertaining. He does a great job in the film.

Re: Gary Oldman

I love Gary Oldman! He has great range, he's done alot of different roles. My favorite is from True Romance, hell, I didn't even know it was him till about half way through.

Re: Gary Oldman

I watched Leon the Professional last night. Terrific movie. Everybody gave wonderful performances. Gary was amazing - definitely psychotic. I'll have to check out Bram Stoker's Dracula next.

He plays Sirius Black in the Harry Potter movies.

Re: Gary Oldman

Leon the Professional is one of my fave movies. It's the movie that introduced me to Jean Reno who's my favourite foreign actor out there today.

Anywho check out The Contender. It's a great political thriller with Oldman as a tough representative who wants his own guy to be the new Vice-President after the current one dies. He even goes so far as to leak damaging information about the current candidate nominated by the President.

Re: Gary Oldman

I got Bram Stoker's Dracula and Fifth Element for Christmas - great movies. I love Gary in Fifth Element, especially the accent - reminds me of George Bush Sr. Its pretty funny, all the movies I have of his (Batman Begins, Dracula, Leon, Fifth Element), he dies in all but Batman Begins and in two he gets blown up.

Re: Gary Oldman

Saw the thread bump, had no idea who he is, so I looked at his IMBD profile. Dude has done a lot of video game voice work. Pretty cool.

Re: Gary Oldman

Fifth Element - like you said, though, you already got it. I love that movie.
