The Most Enjoyable Films Starring Or Featuring Edward Norton
When it comes to versatile actors, Edward Norton is right up there for me with Johnny Depp.
Norton can play any role, from a mentally challenged defendant to a superhero, to a hillbilly and everything in between.
At the end of the day, there are not many people who do a better job.
Here are some of my favorite films featuring Edward Norton in a lead or supporting role.
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.
Another great Edward Norton film is The Illusionist.
This movie had the peculiar misfortune of coming out right around the same time as The Prestige, which starred Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and was directed by Christopher Nolan, and as a result was overshadowed.
American History X is one of Norton's finest films, and even as a villainous Nazi, he is amazing to watch.
This is an important film about race and the choices we make.
I highly recommend this movie.
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.
The next movie worth mentioning on this list should not come as a surprise; it is of course, Fight Club.
This movie is beyond cool, and the dialogue and overall writing in this film is just amazing.
Every line is well thought out.
As it stands, this is my list of my favorite Edward Norton films.
Let's see what the next five years bring for him.
