I thought he was absolutely stunning in Sin City, really the highlight of an excellent film. Ive not seen the Wrestler yet but I understand its a cracking piece of cinema.

I was hoping you didnt say Sin City, yes i had to check IMDB, so one movie out of how many

To be fair there are probably a lot of actors who arent in the top 100.

As for his films, I too arent a big fan but I wouldnt go as far as to avoid anything that hes in. I just cant believe what hes done to himself though. If you look back to 9 1/2 weeks to now....hes giving Jackie Stallone a run for her money!

A fine idea for a new topic, Plastic War: Mickey vs Jackie If the bionic man was plastic...!

he was good looking once, the PS went wrong he tried to get his youth back, so what.

Resurrecting this thread, I just saw The Wrestler tonight for the first time (I like most of Mickey Rourke's film roles) and I have to say this and Sin City are his best performances of his career, fantastic film. He truly embodied both roles, few could have filled the boots needed for either.

Saw it was on Film4 last night I haven't seen the wresetler but its on my to watch list so will do at some point heard its good, he was great in Sin City as well. Looking at IMDB his career seems to have taken off again since the Wrestler so hopefully there's more good films to come from him.

I think that was the point, at least thats what was being talked about during the release of The Wrestler, the whole relaunching a bad career.

I would also like to add that i since gave in and watched The Wrestler and tbh it was a good movie, so thats 2 films that he has been good in and not forgetting Iron Man 2 i suppose so thats 3, they say wine gets finer with age, the same obviously applies to his acting.
