Mickey rourke best movies
that I have seen ranked. One of my favorite actors ever his run in the 80s was great. Sadly he left for boxing in 1992 when he returned to acting his career was stalled. sin city and the wrestler in 2000s led to a small comeback, which only lasted two years really. one of the best actors ever who did not get the career he deserves hope he gets a chance to at least make one more great film.

Underrated and Mickey goes toe to toe with De Niro
Grade: A- - DirectorMichael CiminoStarsMickey RourkeJohn LoneArianeA police detective cracks down on organized crime in Chinatown after the murders of Triad and Mafia leaders.Sadly bombed at box office, but this is one of the best cops film of the 80s with a powerful lead performance from Mickey. His presence draws you in
Grade: A- - DirectorStuart RosenbergStarsEric RobertsMickey RourkeDaryl HannahTwo cousins unknowingly rob the mob and face the dangerous consequences.Mickey and Eric roberts have amazing chemistry
Grade: A- - DirectorNicolas RoegStarsGene HackmanTheresa RussellRutger HauerIn 1925, a lone and obsessed Arctic prospector Jack McCann finally strikes gold. Twenty years later, he begins spiraling out of control when his only daughter becomes engaged to a man he strongly dislikes.Early role for Mickey where he plays a mob lawyer great here and oozes appeal. Gene hackman's best performance and one of the best performances of all time. One of the most misunderstood movies ever.
Grade: A- - DirectorsFrank MillerQuentin TarantinoRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeClive OwenBruce WillisAn exploration of the dark and miserable Basin City and three of its residents, all of whom are caught up in violent corruption.His career comeback before wrestler amazing steals the movie. I think he should have been nominated
Grade; A- - DirectorBarry LevinsonStarsSteve GuttenbergMickey RourkeKevin BaconA group of college-age buddies struggle with their imminent passage into adulthood in 1959 Baltimore.The film that would help lead to his stardom. This Is a great hangout film. And mickeys sex appeal and leading man charisma shines through in this supporting role.
Grade: A- - DirectorFrancis Ford CoppolaStarsMatt DillonMickey RourkeDiane LaneAbsent-minded street thug Rusty James struggles to live up to his legendary older brother's reputation, and longs for the days of gang warfare.One of the best teen movies of the 1980s. Better than the outsiders. Matt Dillion One do the best under 20 runs ever. Here Mickey once again steals the show
Grade: B+ - DirectorMichael CiminoStarsKris KristoffersonChristopher WalkenJohn HurtDuring the Johnson County War in 1890 Wyoming, a sheriff born into wealth does his best to protect immigrant farmers from rich cattle interests.One of Mickey 1st imbd credits right before his breakout in body heat and diner. In small moments he is in the film. He acts upon walken as his brother. A box office bomb and ruined new Hollywood upon its release Heavans gate director cut was later looked at as a masterpiece.
- DirectorBarbet SchroederStarsMickey RourkeFaye DunawayAlice KrigeBased on the life of successful poet Charles Bukowski and his exploits in Hollywood during the 60s, 70s, and 80s.Surprisingly made by Cannon films. After mommy dearest, Faye Dunaway sadly had little career opportunities. This is her best late career role. Mickey Rorque is unrecognizable and gives one of the best performances of his career. Offbeat film about grimy offbeat people. Although it did not do well at box office film has developed a following and is actually one of his most known performances.
Grade: B+ - DirectorSean PennStarsJack NicholsonBenicio Del ToroPatricia ClarksonA retiring police detective pledges to catch the killer of a young child.Mickey in one scene and crushes it. Forogt late acting Jack Nicholson is also great here
Grade; B+ - DirectorJon FavreauStarsRobert Downey Jr.Mickey RourkeGwyneth PaltrowWith the world now aware of his identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark must contend with both his declining health and a vengeful mad man with ties to his father's legacy.Sadly most of his work was left on the cutting room floor. Iron man 2 has aged well over the years and I can appreciate what Mickey was trying to do.
Grade: B+ - DirectorWalter HillStarsMickey RourkeEllen BarkinElizabeth McGovernAfter being double crossed and thrown in prison, a deformed gangster gets a new face and rehabilitation, but his desire for revenge looms.Underrated and sadly telling film
Grade: B - DirectorTony ScottStarsDenzel WashingtonChristopher WalkenDakota FanningIn Mexico City, a former CIA operative swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.Underated Denzal film Mickey gives a solid supporting turn, 2000s he started to get some more work compared to late 90s.
Grade: B - DirectorsFrank MillerRobert RodriguezStarsMickey RourkeJessica AlbaJosh BrolinSome of Sin City's most hard-boiled citizens cross paths with a few of its more reviled inhabitants.Not nearly as good as the first (plot is kind of mess) but Mickey is still great here and I like the stuff with Joseph Gordon Levit.
Grade: B- - DirectorSimon WincerStarsMickey RourkeDon JohnsonChelsea FieldTwo lone riders hold up a bank's armoured car to save their friend's bar from imminent foreclosure. Soon, the mission goes awry when they discover the vehicle's unexpected cargo.Great chemistry between Mickey and don. Cheesy 90s fun
Grade: B- - DirectorMike HodgesStarsMickey RourkeBob HoskinsAlan BatesI.R.A. hitman Martin is seen by a Catholic priest while carrying out a hit. He develops a bond with the priest and his niece, but his past and his former employers put all their lives in danger.Upon its release disowned by director and star. They were upset about the editing and music. Many were critical of Mickey's accent. However, I think its fine and he gives a very good performance which elevates the film. Bob Hoskins is also good here as is a young Liam neeson. Underrated solid action film not as bad as people say. His comments about the IRA would help derail his Carrer
Grade: B- - DirectorSylvester StalloneStarsSylvester StalloneJason StathamJet LiA CIA operative hires a team of mercenaries to eliminate a Latin dictator and a renegade CIA agent.Part of Mickey's 2010s comeback was brief. Many classic actors were brought back for this film wish he had more to do.
