Title: Tim Roth
Post by: dave from knoxville on November 26, 2008, 03:40:51 PM

Tom was finding it difficult to recommend a Tim Roth movie last week. I would recommend the following Tim Roth film festival.

1984 - The Hit
1990 - Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
1992 - Reservoir Dogs
1994 - Little Odessa
1997 - Gridlock'd
1998 - The Legend of 1900
2002 - Killing Emmett Young
2003 - To Kill a King
2005 - Dark Water
2008 - The Incredible Hulk

Enjoy, then report back!

I love Tim Roth.  Fell in love with him in his first role and have continued to love him for better or worse ever since.  He's starring in a TV show that's going to start in January, and I'll love him in that.

It was horribly flawed but I still enjoyed Youth Without Youth.

When I was about 15 (early 90s) I was quite enamored of Tim Roth (and a bit of a film nerd) so my version includes a few more movies, as I sought out to find anything he was in at the time. As you can see, it peters out towards the 2000s when pretty much anything he was cast in was terrible. I still give him a chance and watch what I can that he's in (except Lucky Numbers - I will never watch that). Hooray for high school dorks (me)! I do admit to brief pang of heart-stabbing when Tom dissed and dismissed him on the show a few weeks ago.   :-\

My version:

Excellent:
1982 - Made in Britain
1984 - The Hit
1985 -  Return to Waterloo
1989 - The Cook the Thief His Wife & Her Lover
1990 - Vincent & Theo
1990 - Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
1992 - Jumpin' at the Boneyard
1992 - Reservoir Dogs
1993 - Murder in the Heartland (I say this mostly because I met him at the wrap party for this and because the Starkweather case is fascinating)
1994 - Little Odessa
1994 - Pulp Fiction (though I haven't seen it since it was in the theatre - overkill cuz I worked at the theatre where it played)
1996 - No Way Home
1999 - The War Zone (directed)
 
Not bad, not great:
1984 - Meantime
1994 - Heart of Darkness
1994 - Little Odessa
1996 - Everyone Says I Love You (it's funny cuz most of the actors can't sing)
1997 - Gridlock'd
1997 - Deceiver

I'd add his Oscar-nominated supporting role as Richie Cunningham in Funzie Roy: The Quickening (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Roy_(film)).
