RDJ crushes the Aussie accent. Showed first on SNL his talent for accents. Here RDJ plays one of his whackiest characters. A media obsessed man in a film full of great performances and interesting characters. RDJ is arguably the most memorabl - DirectorChristopher NolanStarsCillian MurphyEmily BluntMatt DamonA dramatization of the life story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who had a large hand in the development of the atomic bombs that brought an end to World War II.
- DirectorRichard LoncraineStarsIan McKellenAnnette BeningChristopher BowenThe classic Shakespearean play about the murderously scheming 15th-century king is reimagined in an alternative setting of 1930s England as clouds of fascism gather.Grade: B+
Great modern take on Shakespeare. Ian should have been nominated. RDJ has a brief role but is great is his few scenes. In 1995 he did another British production period movie restoration. His performance here shows he was fit for those times. And how he is a diverse actor that can fit in Shakespeare and a blockbuster and never feel out of place - DirectorGeorge ClooneyStarsDavid StrathairnGeorge ClooneyPatricia ClarksonBroadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow looks to bring down Senator Joseph McCarthy.Grade: B+

- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsRobert Downey Jr.Jude LawRachel McAdamsDetective Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart partner Watson engage in a battle of wits and brawn with a nemesis whose plot is a threat to all of England.Grade: B+
There have been many takes on this iconic character. But RDJ truly makes it his own by combining his own flare, along with guy Richie spin, the classic character from books but also a mix of some modern versions. These movies were a ton of fun still waiting for a 3rd. and rdj also showed again his accent skills - DirectorRichard AttenboroughStarsRobert Downey Jr.Geraldine ChaplinPaul RhysAn elderly Charlie Chaplin discusses his autobiography with his editor, recounting his amazing journey from his poverty-stricken childhood to world-wide success after the ingenious invention of the Little Tramp.Grade: B+
Arguably RDJ best performance playes Chaplin perfectly - DirectorMichael HoffmanStarsRobert Downey Jr.Sam NeillDavid ThewlisThe exiled royal doctor to King Charles II devotes himself to helping Londoners suffering from the plague, and in the process falls in love with an equally poor woman.Michael Hoffman reteams with RDJ after Soapdish. This movie also stars Ian with RDJ and is a British production just like Richard 3rd. Won two oscars for costumes and art direction for a reason the movie looks gorgeous. Sam Neal is great and silver tongued as the King. Effectively captures the Authenticity of the time period. RDJ does a great job of playing a fool, a lost confused man, and then a caring doctor. The stuff with the court in particular I think is the highlight of the film.
Grade: B+ - DirectorMichael HoffmanStarsSally FieldKevin KlineCathy MoriartyAn ambitious television soap actress connives with her producer to scuttle the career of the show's long-time star, but nothing works as they plan.Grade: B+
A hilarious comedy. Kevin Kline doing his thing akin to fish called Wanda. And Susan sanadron and Elizabeth shue are both great. Here rdj plays a mischievous but fun character. He shows of his range- he can be the cocky leading man. Of the conniving sneaky wright character - DirectorMarek KanievskaStarsAndrew McCarthyJami GertzRobert Downey Jr.A college freshman returns to L.A. for the holidays at his ex-girlfriend's request, but discovers that his former best friend has an out-of-control drug habit.
- DirectorEmile ArdolinoStarsCybill ShepherdRobert Downey Jr.Ryan O'NealA reincarnated man unknowingly falls in love with his own daughter from his previous life. Once he realizes this, he tries to end their relationship before angels erase his memory.Grade: B
Another ghost story film that RDJ did that bombed. Here he plays sweet and clueless. Gives a dual performance and showed flashes of what would make him an actor who could do more than with just what the character seemed like they could be. Instead he brought more Engery to it. He plays off great on
Shepard and ryan O’Neal - DirectorJames TobackStarsMolly RingwaldRobert Downey Jr.Dennis HopperA womanizer meets his match when he falls for a woman in debt to the mafia.Grade: B
Uderated, witty, smart 80s film. RDJ Carrie’s this movie and his performance makes this film so much fun. He’s great as the pickup artist stick clearly inspired from directors real life. However his character comes off as scum and quaint because of rdj presence. A unique character fit for the actor
