5 favorite Anthony Hopkins roles apart from Hannibal Lecter?

Mine:

James Stevens - The Remains of the Day
Titus Andronicus - Titus
Richard Nixon - Nixon
Frederick Treves - The Elephant Man
Richard The Lionheart - Lion in Winter

I can't even think of any that stand out in my head apart from The Elephant Man. Not much of a Hopkins fan.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Legends of the Fall
The Edge

Thats its, not really a fan.

He will be great in Thor though!

In order:

Dr. Frederick Treves (The Elephant Man)
Col. William Ludlow (Legends of the Fall)
Abraham Van Helsing (Bram Stoker's Dracula)
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (The Road to Wellville)
William Parrish (Meet Joe Black)

in no particular order..

yeah same here.Havent seen too many of his films but the ones I have seen I would say NIXON where he played that bastard Dick Nixon is easliy my favorite film of his although that movie was too sympathetic towards him,didnt show what a true evil bastard he REALLY was.

the others I liked him are of course
The Elephant Man
The Lion In Winter
and Magic as well.

Magic
Hearts in Atlantis
Worlds fastest Indian

That's about it. I adore the guy and think he's very talented, but he is one of those actors that have mastered playing one character and have been type cast to play, just that character. Aside from a few standout performances, like, Magic, Elephant Man and Silence of the Lambs and remains of the day, it's hard to distinguish him from any of his other movies.

Dr. Frederick Treves (The Elephant Man)
Col. William Ludlow (Legends of the Fall)
Abraham Van Helsing (Bram Stoker's Dracula)
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (The Road to Wellville)
William Parrish (Meet Joe Black)

I think Mask of Zorro is the only other film I've seen him in and he had good chemistry with Banderas. I was tempted to watch Fracture but I didn't get round to it...

He was great in Magic and The Elephant Man .

Bram Stokers Dracula
The Edge
Elephant man
Silence of the lambs dur
