Favorite Dustin Hoffman Movie
He 'graduated' in 1967, dustin' off Hollywood's leading man standards. In 1969, he was 'walking here' and in 1976, he was actually running. Whether "Rain", "Marathon" "Little Big" or one "of the President's", Dustin Hoff... was the MAN (though in 1982, he admitted he was a better man with a woman, as a woman... than he ever was as a man).
And on the 8th day of the 8th month, beloved star and iconic method actor Dustin Hoffman celebrated his 80th birthday. On this occasion, or celebrating the 50th anniversary of his breakthrough role, or the 20th anniversary of his last Oscar-nominated performance, let's have a look at his leading, co-leading or scene-stealing supporting roles in movies.
