Depending on who you ask about the greatest actors of all time, you are likely to get many different responses. After asking around, one actor who consistently was mentioned is Dustin Hoffman. It is hard to pinpoint Hoffman to a specific generation as he has been in the business for well over 40 years.
This article will highlight some of Dustin Hoffman's greatest films of all time.
One film that certainly has to be mentioned when discussing Dustin Hoffman movies is The Graduate. There was nothing prior to this film that entertained the thought of a young high school graduate having an affair with a married mother. A classic.
Another excellent movie starring Dustin Hoffman and showcasing his incredible versatility was Midnight Cowboy. This movie also stars Jon Voight, but it is Hoffman who steals the show as a crippled hustler.
Another fantastic film that shows off Hoffman's versatility is none other than Tootsie. In this movie, Hoffman plays an actor who disguises himself as a woman to get a role in a major soap opera. This movie also stars Jessica Lange.
On a more comedic note, one role that I loved Hoffman in was Meet The Fockers (aka Meet The Parents 2). Hoffman plays Ben Stiller's father in this follow up to the smash hit Meet The Parents. My expectations are not too high for the third installment.
One film that I can highly recommend is Runaway Jury. Hoffman stars as a hard working, honest lawyer who takes on a firearms company whose guns were used in the killing of the defendant's husband. Meanwhile, the jury is being tampered to affect the outcome.
Hopefully there are one or more films on this list of Dustin Hoffman films which you have yet to see.
