One of my favourite British actors, a hugely talented man. I picked The Sweet Hereafter (GREAT performance, he should have won Best Actor that year imo), Fellowship of the Ring (he was the perfect Bilbo), Wetherby, Big Night and Another Woman.

Lord of War (2005) - 10/10 (within my Top 6 movies)
that blows away all other movies he appeared in in terms of the movie quality itself although I would say I probably remember him a bit more in other roles like The Fifth Element.

I just watched Dreamchild as an Ian Holm tribute viewing and have replaced his performance in Big Night with that on my picks here. Excellent work by Holm and a superb, moving Coral Browne in an otherwise okay movie.

Excellent work by Holm and a superb, moving Coral Browne in an otherwise okay movie. I just watched this movie and it doesn't work for 2 reasons, not the least of which is certain moral issues I have with the way some of it is written. With that being said, the ending of the movie is as sad as it is disturbing. Ian Holm's performance is very good. |

Interestingly enough, this is based on a TV play "Alice" by Dennis Potter in the 1960s with much of the same flashback scenes only it is in Charles Dodgson’s POV. George Baker played Dodgson with David Langton as the oblivious Reverend Liddel and Rosalie Crutchley as the wary wife.
I’m saving both versions for Dreamchild’s 35th Anniversary this fall.
How about try looking up his J. M. Barrie in J.M. BARRIE AND THE LOST BOYS (1978). It actually dwells into the darker aspects of the story than FINDING NEVERLAND did.

I’ve meant to check out The Lost Boys for a long time, Finding Neverland was pretty lame and would like to see a darker, bolder version of this story. |

It’s potentially a showy role but he doesn’t oversell it, to his credit. I do think Browne could have had a Best Actress nomination considering the weakness of the slate that year, and Holm should have been considered seeing as he had such a busy year (Brazil, Wetherby too). I’m glad I saw it but wouldn’t think twice about it beyond those two performances. |

The Best Supporting Actor line-up that year is one of the worst in Oscar history imo. Ian Holm is better than all of the performances nominated in the category that year. |

The best supporting actor line-up that year is one of the worst in Oscar history though. In my opinion at least. Ian Holm is better than all of the performances nominated in the category that year. Yes, I completely agree. Dreadful line-up. The best, I guess, is Brandauer, who brings a genuine touch of European decadence to Out of Africa, a film I otherwise struggled to make it through. The rest - Yikes. I quite enjoyed Cocoon but will never understand how Ameche was singled out among the cast. His one big moment - the breakdancing scene - was clearly a body-double, maybe that guy should have shared his Oscar! i do feel it was a terrible year for films though, certainly those on the Oscar radar. |
