Movie Top Ten Someone, take over the baton

[Angela Channing]

I think I've only seen one of his films :

1. The Book Thief (2013)

I haven't the slightest notion who Geoffrey Rush even is. I'm almost positive I read the name as either "Joshua Rush" (who isn't even real) or "Geoffrey Scott" (who isn't in anything outside of DYNASTY in my head) when I first saw the title.

Alas, I was wrong.

So I'll have to pass this time.

You know @Caproni when I first got the name suggested to me I didn't know who Geoffrey Rush was either. But when I looked him up on Internet Movie Databasis I realized that I had watched several of his films. So I guess he's one of those actors who you recognize the face of but don't know his real name.

1. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
2. Shine
3. Elizabeth
4. The Best Offer
5. The Book Thief
6. Shakespeare in Love
7. The King's Speech
8. Elizabeth: The Golden Age
9. Les Miserables (1998)
10. Children of the Revolution

Actually, he´s brilliant in all 10. I´d also recommend the miniseries "Genius: Einstein":

​

Of course, it´s NOT a documentary, but a fictionalized biography with a lot of truth in it, beyond the facts. If you liked "A Beautiful Mind", this one is similar but superior. The story is told in two timelines more or less, and both Einsteins are excellent. Rush looks amazingly like the older Einstein.

instead of passing look up who he is, i love this guy i think the remake of House on Haunted Hill (1999) is my favorite film of his

I haven't the slightest notion who Geoffrey Rush even is.

Of course you don’t know who he is. He never did a movie with Marilyn.

(Just kidding my friend, just kidding)

Good one! (And an accurate one at that LOL)

Perhaps I could do that and see if any of the movies register.

 

[darkshadows38]

just use IMDB that's what i use

 

[darkshadows38]

sweet i'm on Level 1 now

 

[DallasFanForever]

I think many of them will. He’s an actor that’s been in a ton of movies and always gives a great performance but he kind of flies under the radar a bit. I would assume you’re not the only one.

[darkshadows38]

oh okay thank you

 

[darkshadows38]

1. House on Haunted Hill (1999) now i normally hate remakes with a passion but this one isn't a carbon copy of the original like so many of them are and it's my favorite of his.
2. The Banger Sisters (2002)
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
4. Minions (2015)
5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
6. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

well apparently i haven't seen enough of his films to Warrant a top 10 i have seen the first 3 Pirate films but not the others i only put all 3 of those cause i normally watch them right after another when i do get around to watching them.

 

[ClassyCo]

OK I finally looked Geoffrey Rush up online, and literally only one movie registers: FINDING NEMO. He voices Nigel, the sea turtle that helps Marlin on his journey back to his son Nemo.

Other than that, I haven't "seen" him in anything else.

The Book club

@Barbara Fan Do you mean "The Book Thief (2013)?"
I looked up the movie "The Book Club" from (2018) and it doesn't seem like he was in it.
