I was sitting here this morning working on a script and a book (not related) and I popped on Flickchart after finally getting my fiance to sit and watch SHRINK this weekend  I was curious to see where it ranked amongst my favorite Spacey flicks.  See for yourself.

Swimming With Sharks – “Shut up. Listen and learn.” Not just a great film quote but an attitude to take with you in life. You can’t learn anything if you are the one doing all the talking. Believe or not this is the hardest thing for me to do. Aside from that this film has a dark edge with character depth that is matched by few. It is a dark look at what one man will go through to get into the film industry and what is does to him.

The Usual Suspects – If you don’t like this film you are a douche bag. No exceptions will be given and no excuses will be accepted. If you have not seen this movie then by all means go find a copy now and watch it. This movie is one of the finest examples of what a dark “Who done it” film should look like. I am beginning to think that it is the best movie Bryan Singer will ever make.

The Big Kahuna – Character piece all the way.  A majority of the film takes place in a hotel room and is 2 old sales dogs trying to get that one big deal while showing the ropes to the new kid. Spacey and Danny Devito give memorable performances as for me this film became an instant favorite.

Shrink – I just watched this for the 3^rd time in 3 months and DAMN does it hold up. Not a film for a quick entertainment fix but something to devote yourself to as you travel through the life of our shrink and the lives of his patients. This is a brilliant film filled with characters that will draw you in and make you care.

American Beauty – This is probably my favorite role to watch Spacey in. The character speaks to each and every one of us in some way form or fashion. A midlife crisis hits us all in different ways. This look at a man going through is one of my all time favorite films, not just one of my favorite Kevin Spacey flicks.

Hands down Spacey is one of my favorite actors in Hollywood.
