Making a list of my favorite Edward Norton films is a very difficult task. The problem is, I truly have enjoyed almost every movie in which he has starred. Choosing my top five films of his will not be easy, but I am determined to do it.
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.
The second movie that definitely makes the cut of great Edward Norton films is The Score. Taking an influence from his role in Primal Fear, Norton plays a mentally disabled custodian and does a very convincing job. This is a great heist movie.
Showcasing his amazing versatility, Edward Norton portrays a hateful nazi (is there any other kind?) in American History X. This movie is currently ranked as number 40 of all time on the Internet movie database (imdb.com). If you are unfamiliar with the Internet movie database, it takes into account the voting of its hundreds of thousands of members in choosing the greatest films of all time. If you make it into the top 250 it is considered quite the accomplishment. If you make it into the top 50, well that's just amazing.
Even though it has come out that there were some major disputes on set, I still loved Edward Norton's portrayal of Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk. This portrayal was how Eric Bana should have played the part the first time around.
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.
As it stands, this is my list of my favorite Edward Norton films. Let's see what the next five years bring for him.
