Re: The Actor Essentials Thread
No, Schindler's List is famous because it combined the historical and emotional importance of the holocaust with a dramatic narative.

Re: The Actor Essentials Thread
I'm not sure about Rounders, I think I'd swap that out for Saving Private Ryan or Dogma.

Re: The Actor Essentials Thread
No Talented Mr Ripley? I thought Damon was pretty impressive in it.
As to how it defined his career, I don't know? I don't think the film was a huge success, but it certainly showed a range I hadn't seen before in his work.

Saving Private Ryan and Dogma were also ones I thought putting on there, and I can't remember exactly why I chose to leave either off.
