most of his movies I have not seen.

Tom Jones is his most successful movie, it was the one that made him a star....but it is not in my Top 5 Finney movies....those would be Miller's Crossing, Murder on the Orient Express, Big Fish, Amazing Grace (just re-watched that two nights ago) and Before The Devil Knows You Are Dead.

People keep mentioning this Miller's Crossing. I have to get around to seeing it.

[–] Cogerson (102) 6 years ago

The Coen brothers are hit and miss with me.....but Miller's Crossing is a hit in my mind. There is a book called Alternate Oscar by Danny Peary.....and he felt Miller's Crossing should have been the movie to win the Oscar that year. Gabriel Bryne is outstanding in the lead role.

I agree, Miller’s Crossing was brilliant.

RIP Mr. Finney

Great actor. RIP.

Big Fish was my favorite movie with Finney. I lost my father in 2011, and this movie's father-son dynamic always had a huge emotional impact on me. It was a beautiful film, and Finney was great in it.

Hey sut6432.....I have the same feeling about my late dad and Big Fish as well. Sort of have the same vibe for The Good Year....only in that one Russell Crowe is the son like character to Finney's uncle. Thanks for sharing that movie memory.

The last 15 minutes of that film can bring me to tears every single time, it's so well done, and Danny Elfman's score is brilliant at bringing it all together. I say this as someone who grew up watching Stallone and Arnold action movies, haha. Big Fish is my favorite Tim Burton film.
