His best movie character/performance ?


Best character: Farmer Ted

Best Performance: Gary in Weird Science

I think I actually agree with Weird Science as AMH's best performance. I've always loved that movie, but at the same time acknowledged it more as a guilty pleasure than anything of substance, BUT Hall is tremendous in that film! He really does deliver an amazing comedic (and even at times, dramatic) performance as Gary. I may be a bit biased because I love that movie so much (my favorite John Hughes movie), but as silly as the movie is on the surface, Hall really does manage to deliver a top-notch performance.

Although, he was great in The Breakfast Club, too. His big moment where they are in the circle is some seriously good acting!
