THIEF (1981) is my favorite 80s' crime film and a must see for any real man.
I love Thief! “When are we gona get on with this BIG Romance” That’s My favorite James Cann film.
The florida project is my favorite Dafoe performance. Thanks for the chance
That’s a great call! He really is perfect for that movie.
Togo for Defoe performance and Robocop ‘87 for crime movie
Robocop would be my choice also. That’s a top 10 all time film for me.
I really enjoyed Willem Dafoe's performance in The Lighthouse
That would be my choice Jeremy!
The 2002 Spider-Man film was my first exposure to Willem Dafoe and my favorite
That was probably the first time I saw him also and I agree he was perfect in that role and he added more depth with his performance in No way home.
My favorite crime movie is Thief from 1981
I love thief. Michael Mann came out swinging
Platoon
His death scene is Iconic.
Spider-man green goblin is terrifying snd amazing from Dafoe!
He’s perfectly cast and him playing it twice really cemented the role as one of his best.
Lighthouse William's performance was amazing
That’s my choice also. He played that character perfect and you never know what he’s truly thinking.
The Untouchables is my favorite 80s crime film
That’s a classic. I love that movie more and more as the years go on.
The Lighthouse for sure. Scarface for 80s.
I think The Lighthouse would be my choice as well. He’s perfect in that and Scarface is a classic!
The Florida Project with William Dafoe is my favorite 😊
he was great in that and I’m hearing that it’s coming to 4k blu ray!
American Psycho is my favorite for sure with Dafoe
He plays that character perfectly. “Huey Lewis and the news”
The Grand Budapest Hotel. It was great to see Willem Dafoe in a Wes Anderson film.
he fits perfectly into those worlds.
William Dafoe in Platoon is my favorite
He’s so good in that. Not to mention his death scene is incredibly memorable
Spider-Man (2002) will be my favorite Willem Dafoe performance
That’s an awesome choice. He brought so much Energy to that character and then he knocked it out of the park again with No Way Home.
Beverly Hills Cop is my favorite 80s crime movie.
That’s still my favorite Eddie Murphy movie.
The untouchables a classic! ❤
De Palma was just making some of the best Crime films of the 80s.
Platoon is my favorite
Great choice! I love that movie and he’s great in it. Plus his death scene is Iconic.
The Lighthouse is my favorite Willem Dafoe film
That would be my choice also. He’s so good in that movie and his character had so many different layers.
The Hunter and I have to go with The Naked Gun.
I love how you always find the perfect comedic film for the answers. Thank you!
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia It's my gift. Believe me it wears my family down.
Lolll I appreciate it. I look forward to your answers every week.
William Peterson acting in this & MANHUNTER is realistic. Sure, it's not a movie star performance but because the movie is good, I don't mind it.
I love both movies but I do feel like he’s not the greatest actor, I still like him though loll.
Platoon for Dafoe. The Untouchables for serious 80s crime movie and Who Framed Roger Rabbit for silly 80s crime.
I just rewatched Who framed Roger Rabbit the other night. That movie is perfect lol. It’s amazing how funny it still is lol.
The Boondock Saints is my favorite Willem Dafoe movie
He was a big fan of River Dancing. I love over the top Dafoe.
Asteroid city Dafoes role while breif was pretty good
He made the most of that role. Wes Anderson really knows how to use him.
American Psycho Dafoes role as the detective was good
He played that well. I would get nervous if Willem Dafoe walks in a room asking questions.
Tyw green goblin is still William's best role!
It’s up there now that he added so much more to it with his performance in No Way Home.
Nothing more iconic than Willem Dafoe's performance as Harry Osborn/Green Goblin in Spider-Man
That role was great and once he got to play it again in No away Home he made it iconic.
Scarface is my favorite crime movies from the 80s! 😀
That’s one of the best and it still holds up 40 years later.
Willem Dafoe as Gill in Finding Nemo is my fav :D
He was great in that. Plus the movies a classic.
Willem was great in Platoon. My second answer is Scarface.
Both great choices. He’s a phenomenal actor.
William's performance in Spiderman can the Spider come out to play
That’s where I first saw him. He played that character perfect.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia that's good to hear man
Asteroid City had William and while it's in the black and whkte scenes he did a great job!
He was great in that Role. Wes Anderson used him perfectly.
Scarface is an amazing film the actuon scenes and performances
I agree and the movie has stood the test of time.
The Lighthouse was a masterpiece ans his role was oscar worthy!
I agree. I think that would be my choice also. “You like my cooking don’t ya”
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia my favorite line is the lobster line
Though I couldn't tell if the movie was black comedy or horror?
That Lobster made me laugh also lol. I was a little afraid of his reaction after but you can tell he was hurt when he didn’t say Robert Pattinson didn’t like his food and that why he snapped.
Question Answer: My favorite Willem performance has to be the Green Goblin in the Raimi Spider-trilogy. His performance is everything I want in a supervillian: clear motives, over-the-top and cheesy, and also slightly creepy and ominous. “I’m somewhat of a scientist myself.”
I love that performance but I appreciate it more after No way Home. He added more depth to that character but his performance in the original Trilogy is still great and Willem always knows what to bring to each role.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia totally agree!
Willem Dafoe was great in The Lighthouse
That would be my choice also Steve!
Definitely Spiderman is still Dafoe greatest role!
He was perfect in the role and then when he played it agin in No away shone it became his best role.
My favorite crime film is Once Upon a time in american
Funny story batman is also apparently a crime film alsp
If someone would of picked it, I would of accepted it lol. He does solve crime and is the world’s greatest detective.
Okay yea while he only appears here and there William Dafoes Performances in John Wick was pretty good
He was good in the first Wick Film. I liked that he was playing both sides but truly cared about John in the end.
I think Willem Dafoe nailed it as Norman Osborn/Green Lantern in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man
I think if you combine that with the same role in No way home then you have his best.
Definitely Dafoes role as the green goblin especially In No Way Home
Yea his performance in the original spider-man is great but he added emotion to it in No Way Home.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia i know that role was amazing!
It really was!
Scarface is still the classic it is and the bluray really killz it!
I a 100% agree it’s an awesome film and we have been lucky with great Physical Media for the movie.
Question One:
My favorite Willem Dafoe films are The Lighthouse, Super insane role he played here. Was surprised to even see him do things like that. Such a wild role to play and he killed it. Another one is most certainly going to have to be Daybreakers. Holy shit was that movie good and it makes me really disappointed to not hear many talk about that movie. His role in that was also chilling. Love that film so much. Then last but not least Spider-Man as Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin. As you know Spider-Man is extremely close to my heart and I believe I have chosen this movie many times. But there is a reason. Willem Dafoe just so happens to be that reason and it is incredible he was able to do that role. I remember being so mesmerized by the Green Goblin persona and Willem Dafoe to this day is just perfect to me and he playing the villain again in No way Home. Genuinely made me cry. Was so happy to see my childhood villain back. Such an amazing actor with such great talent. The man just doesn't get enough credit in my opinion.
Question Two:
My favorite 80s crime film will go to Fletch. Watched for the first time this year and loved it. Chevy Chase was magnificent as Fletch. I plan on watching Fletch Lives soon as I just bought it on digital and really can't wait because Fletch was truly too much fun and cannot get enough of the character!
Thank you for the chance man! You always rule!
Good luck everyone!
I love all your answers buddy! Fletch is one of my favorite 80s comedy and Unfortunately Fletch Lives isn’t that great but you might love it! The Lighthouse would be my choice also. It’s such a unique character with Layers and you never know what he’s thinking. The bits of comedy truly add to his character. I don’t know why people don’t talk about Daybreakers. It got forgotten for some reason. The Green Goblin would be my number two just because when he brought it back in No Way home the Character was truly a Tragedy and not just a villain.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia Daybreakers was freaky as hell man. I couldn't believe how dark that film was and the colors that added to the film gave it such an eerie vibe. One of my favorite horrors now. The characters were nuts man. Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe was wild in that one. Even though I watched it a few months ago I kinda feel I could watch it again. Love the vibe it gave off. The whole have to keep the population alive as the creatures. Just fantastic.
I a 100% agree. I honestly didn’t remember it coming out. I only saw in a couple years ago because I was reading a list loll. I’m glad I found it. I’m going to have to revisit it soon.
The English Patient
Great choice my friend.
Spider-Man No Way Home is my favorite Dafoe performance
That was a great performance. He was over the top but still brought great emotion to the role this time.
You found of me lobster ain't ye
That’s exactly why that would be my choice also. He delivered those lines perfectly.
SCARFACE
Great Choice David!
Controlled William Defoe - The Florida Project (maybe in the criterion collection one day on 4k). 80's crime drama - Black Rain, Witness, Year of the dragon (would look good on 4k), and Maniac Cop (the first one, still no 4K). Great review like normal. Love your reviews because you say how it is. Manhunter next I hope.
Willem
Thank you so much for saying that so really appreciate it! I’m actually hearing rumors that The Florida Project is coming to 4K from A24 pretty soon. Hopefully we get that. It Kills me that The First Maniac Cop is the only one without a 4K. 3 is one of the best looking 4ks out there.
Dafoes role in fantastic mr fox as the rat didn't know he did that role until years later
He’s great in that! Wes Anderson always knows how to use him even in small roles he makes the most of it.
Agree to disagree on William Peterson fam 😂 I think for a dude who was only in his 2nd movie I thought he carried this pretty well. I might be in the minority but i definitely rate To Live & Die in LA higher personally than French Connection.
I respect your opinions, It could be the lines he had to read that throws the performance off for me. I agree with you about this being better then the French Connection. I just rewatched that last night and it’s good but this movie is much better and it’s better paced.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia i tend to agree w/the lines. I think LAs script is near perfection to me but I also read that Friedkin allowed a lotta improv which is why some lines seem kinda sketch. Not to mention some of the odd ADR here & there. I know Peterson is Gil Grissom but I can't not think of LA and the impression he made on me. He mightve OVERSOLD archetype of the agent with the Main Character syndrome which is why it works for me. Aviators, leather jacket, airport windsprints, banging INFORMANTS, etc. Which is why the ending is so effective. Cuz while its a stylized movie but it damn sure aint a sentimental one. NO character's fate is sealed w/slow motion or melodrama. 😂 Ok I'm subbed now
Thank you I appreciate it. Your right he has an Archetype and I do like his character because I love the story and plot of this movie. Showing the thin line between cop and Criminal. When you became obsessed and start floating the line and then overstep you get what happens at the end. William Friedkin nailed this movie and one think I didn’t bring up were the brutal effects which he used all the way in French Connection and in Cruising. Hopefully more people find this movie.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia RIP to a certified master!
Once upon a time in America
Ail i’ve this choice so much!
I just watched the 4k and it's a nice 4k. The video I rate an 8 but the sound could have been better I rate the sound a 6. The Wang Chung music doesn't really boom like it should have. I remember this sounding better on VHS with just a 4 speaker system.
That’s wild! I figured a lot of issues with this 4k was that its source material wasn’t the greatest based on how William Friedkin shot his films.
Disagree on acting criticisms. Awesome vid mate
Thank you so much!! I understand that, I’ve actually had a couple tell me they disagree with my William Peterson take and said that it felt real so maybe I have been analysing his performance wrong.
You're fully entitled to have your own view, no problem with that my man. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated! @@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia
No problem at all, Thank you for saying that I really appreciate it.
My favorite William Dafoe role in Finding Nemo his role was great and I didn't even know he was in that movie until 20 years later lol
lmaooo I was 12 when that came out and I also didn’t realize until many years later.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia same here! Still a classic
Absolutely! One of Pixar’s best.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia amen !
For years I thought that it was Dennis Leary playing Gill!
My copy of this just got here this week
So it wasn’t just me loll.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia
No….. I had it preordered as soon as a heard about it and goddamn Amazon kept moving delivery back
That’s exactly what happened to me lol.
Spider-Man for sure. Willem Dafoe's slow descent into madness as the Green Goblin was just perfect.
It was great and then once we got to No Way Home and. they added more layers to the character then it became perfect.
Sounds like I should just stick with my dvd which has no complaints. Once you said its quality is like KINO MARATHON MAN that told me not to buy this not even on a Black Friday Sale.
It had its moments where it looked great but it wasn’t blowing me away or anything. The biggest flaw is the audio. I hate having to adjust the volume while i’m watching the film.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia I hate that too about adjusting audio. Sometimes I have to put caption titles on to understand what is going on.
Not seen this film mate 😮 im going to do a list of classic films i own but iv never seen 🤔😊, watched last night scars of Dracula from hammer , Christopher lee 🦇👌🎬
That’s a great film. I love Christopher Lee, One of the best Horror actors. I think you’ll like this one buddy. 😀
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia just ordered arrow Blu-ray 💿👍
I love the art work on that Arrow ably ray. I hope you enjoy it!
After reading the comments, more people seriously need to watch Mississippi burning.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s got a good Kino Lorber Blu ray.
His best film is easily the life aquatic, or Mississippi burning, even though gene Hackman steals that movie.
Gene Hackman absolutely stole that movie but he had the flashier role. He still plays his part perfect. She has to be that clean cut straight man that finds the logic in each situation.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia
Which is in complete contrast to his over the top characters
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia
Also, there’s a reason Hackman has won two academy awards
Hackman is great at playing those everyman types. Even when he’s in a position of power you relate to him. In Mississippi burning Willem Dafoe may sympathize but he’s an outsider while Gene is more of a working class guy who understands the thinking there. Hell he’s always wearing those short sleeve shirts and kind of does that semi formal look while everyone else is in suits.
William Dafoe as Green Goblin is my favorite. I liked his performance most in Spider-Man: No Way Home
That’s what Cemented the role for me. He added so much more depth to the character in No way Home.
Platoon is still my favorite war film and probably top 10 all time for me and Dafoe is a big reason for that. One of his best performances for sure. And Blow Out is an underrated 80’s gem.
Blow out is one of the best! I still think it’s De palmas best film. I agree about a platoon, It’s one of my top 5 favorite war films and Dafoe is great in it and his death scene is iconic!
Looking at the list of Dafoe films just let’s me know that I need to watch more films from him. Based off of what I’ve seen I’ll go with his performance in the Spiderman films as Green Goblin. It’s spanned over multiples films, and he’s done a great job.
Favorite 80’s crime film is Next of Kin. It’s a great film with a lot of notable actors and Swayze as the lead.
He’s great in that role! I love that he got to play it again in No way home and add depth to the character. I need rewatch Next of Kin. I haven’t seen that in a while but It is a Swayze Classic.
I'll tell you another one I just saw that was difficult to find was Togo. Based on true events about a sled dog his performance was pretty good and the movie was fantastic. Some of the scenes were a bit exaggerated but the effects were very well done throughout. If you love Willem Dafoe I highly recommend finding that movie and watching it.
That’s one I have to check out. Willem never phones it in. she seems to know what gear to bring to the movie he’s in.
7.5 rating for a 4k is not good. For 4k its no lower than a 9.
I agree. I think less then an 8 means wait for a sale unless you love the movie, 5 or under just avoid it unless you are desperate.
@@LetsTalkEntertainmentMedia What do you give the T2 4k transfer?
