When discussing actors based on talent and versatility, one person who I always think is at the top of the list is Edward Norton. Ever since his breakout role in Primal Fear, Edward Norton has been considered one of the more talented actors in Hollywood.
Without further ado, here are my five favorite movies starring Edward Norton.
The first movie I would like to discuss is Spike Lee's 25th Hour. In this movie, Norton stars as a convicted man who has one day before he begins a long-term jail sentence. There is one scene in particular in this film in which Edward Norton starts going off about the different people in New York to blame and its awesome.
The second movie that definitely makes the cut of great Edward Norton films is The Score. Taking an influence from his role in Primal Fear, Norton plays a mentally disabled custodian and does a very convincing job. This is a great heist movie.
Showcasing his amazing versatility, Edward Norton portrays a hateful nazi (is there any other kind?) in American History X. This movie is currently ranked as number 40 of all time on the Internet movie database (imdb.com). If you are unfamiliar with the Internet movie database, it takes into account the voting of its hundreds of thousands of members in choosing the greatest films of all time. If you make it into the top 250 it is considered quite the accomplishment. If you make it into the top 50, well that's just amazing.
One film of Edward Norton's that you probably have not seen is Leaves Of Grass. This movie was released in 2009 and in a very Adaptation-esque style, features Norton playing a set of twins. One is a brilliant hillbilly drug dealer, while the other is your average Joe.
Fight Club simply put, has to make any Edward Norton list. Tyler Durden is an iconic character and this is easily one of the best films of the 1990s. It also happens to be David Fincher's best film to date, in my opinion. Everything from the dialogue in this film, to the acting, to the cinematography is just perfect.
Hopefully there are one or more films from the great Edward Norton in this article which you have yet to see.
