Are there any Viggo Mortensen fans here? I see he's up for Best Actor for the Academy Awards for his movie Captain Fantastic (good movie so watch it when you get the chance) so GOOD LUCK VIGGO!

Yeah, I agree, I think he's a good actor, too - but I have to admit that "Captain Fantastic" is probably my least favorite of his movies. I thought Viggo was great in "A History of Violence." And being a bit of a geek, I liked him in "The Lord of the Rings," of course. What else? Hmmm... oh, yeah, "Hidalgo" was good and in "Eastern Promises" he played the type of gritty character that he does really well. I'm sure there are other movies of his that I enjoyed - but my memory fails me at the moment.

Just curious, what did you not like about it?

He's a good actor. Really loved his role in A History of Violence (which to me is his best role to date).

I have 20 of his DVD's and they are:
(1) 28 Days
(2)) A Dangerous Method
(3) A History Of Violence
(4) A Perfect Murder
(5) A Walk On The Moon
(6) Alatriste
(7) American Yakuza
(8) Boiling Point
(9) Captain Fantastic
(10) Crimson Tide
(11) Eastern Promises
(12) Good
(13) Hidalgo
(14) The Indian Runner
(15) Jauja
(16) Lord Of The Rings
(17) On The Road
(18) The Passion Of Darkly Noon
(19) The Road
(20) Vanishing Point
There are other movies I've watched of his either on TV or my Amazon Instant Video App and those I've watched are: (1) The Two Faces Of January, (2) Everybody Has A Plan, (3) Far From Men (4) Witness and (5) The Gospel According To Harry and I've seen Appaloosa.

You can get a full list of all the movies he's done or anyone else at : imdb.com

Oh, I don't know - it's highly possible that I just simply enjoy Viggo in more blatant man-flicks. Lol... I'm shallow that way! Now that you posted the movie list - how could I have forgot "The Road," that was powerful. "Appaloosa" was also good. "American Yakuza" sounds really familiar. I'll have to go through the list for future viewing, in case I missed any.

Yeah, I understand what you mean BrentFL about the "man flicks" thing. Some actors stick to one genera which they're best known for but I like the fact he can mix things up a bit and he's said that he'll only do a movie if it means something to him. I'd like to see his movie "Salvation!" but it's hard to find. I know this kind off subject but my dilemma right has been that I currently don't have a favorite actress, it was Lucy Lawless but she's been low key for years now and she hasn't done major movies that impress me and that's one of the things any actor or actress had to do to me, impress me.
