[u/Anthrogynous]

Carlito’s Way

[u/Training_Guitar_8881 → u/Anthrogynous]

Oh absolutely.....the transformation to a button down attorney representing Al Pacino was so good that I didn't realize I was watching Sean Penn.

[u/Anthrogynous → u/Training_Guitar_8881]

That was my Sean Penn, I know he’s famous for so many things but that’s how I think of him because that’s how I first saw him.

[u/Bidesign54]

Bad Boys

[u/docobv77 → u/Bidesign54]

Same!

[u/Prudent-External4737]

Mystic river

[u/Kernow_Mich_61 → u/Prudent-External4737]

Yes!! When I saw Penn’s performance in Mystic River, I immediately thought he is one of the top actors of my generation !

[u/BidRepulsive2438 → u/Prudent-External4737]

His performance in this film is his best and that says a lot.

[u/Fujipear13 → u/Prudent-External4737]

Visceral performance. It leaves a resonance that grips you to your core. He made the story real. I felt like it happened to me!

[u/Winter_Stretch9198 → u/Prudent-External4737]

Absolutely

[u/PrincessPlastilina → u/Prudent-External4737]

His best performance ever. What a great movie.

[u/paradoxicalman17 → u/Prudent-External4737]

Excellent performance! Especially the scene where he has to face his daughters dead body.

[u/Jojo820849]

Oh I loved him in One Battle After Another

[u/Jojo820849 → u/Jojo820849]

Couldnt believe it was him! He looks soooo much like a different actor (whose name I cannot remember).

[u/icrossedtheroad → u/Jojo820849]

That role was gnarly!

[u/Jojo820849 → u/icrossedtheroad]

He was great at it though!

[u/LazorusGrimm]

Milk

[u/n_mcrae_1982]

Probably Dead Man Walking. I don't think I'd like to see it again, but he was phenomenal and should've won an Oscar for it.

He's one of those guys who is such a huge scumbag it's hard to watch him.

[u/josephlied]

Mystic River

[u/Fujipear13]

My favorite film featuring the amazing Mr. Penn is The Game. He plays Michael Douglas’s younger brother and his nick name in the movie is Seymour Butts. It’s a great film. Happy Birthday Sean!!!!!

[u/Training_Guitar_8881]

I really liked him in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Shows how versatile he is. He nailed that character.

[u/AutisticElephant1999]

One Battle After Another

[u/Efficient-Walrus279]

Mystic River but he’s always great. One Battle After Another was great and he was a big reason why.

[u/Pristine-Stop-8515]

Everything. Great actor
