Best roles?

I have watched him in Cape Fear, The Prince of Tides and Lorenzo's Oil, and especially enjoyed his performance and general onscreen presence in the last two. Which movies do you guys recommend to watch next? I was hoping he had more of these sort of 90s drama roles.

I'm surprised no one recommended The Thin Red Line.

Although not his best performance, my favorite film of his is The Deep (1977). Robert Shaw as Romer Treece is outstanding as he is in everything. Add Gossett Jr, Bissett, Wallach and a mystery in beautiful Bermuda and you can’t go wrong. There’s also a wonderful score throughout and theme by Donna Summer. Great film!
