Film making

When discussing actors based on talent and versatility, one person who I always think is at the top of the list is Edward Norton. Ever since his breakout role in Primal Fear, Edward Norton has been considered one of the more talented actors in Hollywood.

Without further ado, here are my five favorite movies starring Edward Norton.

In an incredibly dark yet gripping film, Edward Norton played the part of Lester “Worm” Murphy in Rounders. If you like gambling, movies about gambling, poker, Matt Damon or any combination of the above, Rounders is worth seeing. Supposedly they are currently working on a second installment of this movie. Although I’m not exactly sure how that would work.

Another great film that happens to star Mr. Norton is The Score. This movie also stars Robert De Niro and is one of my favorite heist films of all time. If you like elaborate robbery plans, this is a good one to watch.

American History X is one of Norton’s finest films, and even as a villainous Nazi, he is amazing to watch. This is an important film about race and the choices we make. I highly recommend this movie.

One film of Edward Norton’s that you probably have not seen is Leaves Of Grass. This movie was released in 2009 and in a very Adaptation-esque style, features Norton playing a set of twins. One is a brilliant hillbilly drug dealer, while the other is your average Joe.

The next movie worth mentioning on this list should not come as a surprise; it is of course, Fight Club. This movie is beyond cool, and the dialogue and overall writing in this film is just amazing. Every line is well thought out.

Hopefully there are one or more films from the great Edward Norton in this article which you have yet to see.
