Fight Club all the way people! In what other movie do you get Ed Norton AND Brad Pitt in one pretty little package?

I had the exact same reaction. I wanted to know what he was going to be in next, because you could tell he was a great one.

I was pretending I was Jason giving you crap for not seeing Primal Fear.

I can't watch movies on a computer either.

I guess I need to see it then...because he's been amazing in about 3-4 other movies.

I'm with Mike on this one. Norton was incredible in American History X.

Exactly! And I'm not even picking the movie as a movie. I'm picking Norton's acting in that movie as the best I've ever seen him at. He is no slouch and he's done some really good work - but if you want to see him shine - that's the movie to see him in.

I'm not knocking his other movies at all. I'm just saying that the best acting he has done is in Primal Fear. AHX is probably my second favorite movie of his that he has done. He does a great job in that - but when looking at it from a purely acting view point - he has yet to top Primal Fear, in my opinion.

The thing about Primal Fear, and I can still remember seeing it when it came out, is that you walked out of the theater KNOWING that Edward Norton was going to be a star. I mean, it was just one of those roles. I remember telling my friends that they needed to go see the movie because Edward Norton was amazing and was destined to be a star.

So I can see why someone would pick it as the favorite.

;0) it takes a lot for me to sit and watch an hour long program much less a
movie.

I'm sure he's good in it, but to give a "WHAT?!" for American History X is crazy, I mean, he was amazing in that.

I'd totally forgotten about that movie. I don't think it's a very good movie, but he is *amazing* in it. The first of his many double-personality roles.

But my favorite is still Rounders. It's not his movie; he's just great support for Damon, but it's my favorite movie he's been in. One of my favorite movies, period.

Primal Fear is great. He gets to do more in American History X and you see his acting chops even more, but I think I liked Primal Fear better, just because of the ending.

YES! Gotta love everything about that movie! :)

TrouseredApe — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:53:54 -0000

I'm not knocking his other movies because he is pretty solid in being really good in whatever he does, but I think Primal is by far his best work.

Frankly... it's been so long since I've seen Primal Fear, I'd have to watch it again to compare it to Amer. Hist. X and 25th Hour. Although Edward Norton was nominated for an Oscar for Primal Fear... hmm... I dunno... maybe I spoke too soon.

It's worth the watch - just for Norton's acting alone.

Cholera's always good for a laugh...I mean a dramatic obstacle to overcome.

I'm beginning to wonder if you actually like good movies...you haven't seen ANY of them.

Hmm will see it maybe, like Andre Braugher and John Mahoney too.
