what doing neo-nazi a magician and The
Incredible Hulk have in common I don’t
know the answer to this question welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for Edward
Norton’s top ten performances only the
best number ten bill and Brady Kincaid
leaves of grass not gonna work why well
for one thing because you’ve given
yourself the stupidest haircut in human
history
I’ll bullshit you like that fancy can’t
hardly tell the difference whenever an
actor pulls off two distinct roles in
one film attention must be paid hey hey
don’t get around my squeeze head Jesus
Norton returns to his dual personality
roots as a pair of estranged brothers
brought together under bizarre
circumstances what do you want Brady I
mean what do you want I just want to see
my brother who I love what’s the crime
each is a genius in his own way Bill’s
an elite professor who’s erased his
southern upbringing Brady’s a hick who
grows the greatest weed in the south but
both showcase the best of Ed Norton I
get to keep on smoking dealer baby comes
and then he’s cold her yelling that too
but I mean both is going double-fisted
till the bottom drops out ain’t we
Oh what up what up what a great time mr.
Flint
number nine Allan isaacman the People vs
Larry Flynt how are you Allan Yzerman
I’m your lawyer his role as this
real-life lawyer to the Stars was only
Norton’s second ever feature film
appearance but it’s another acting
masterclass a problem you’ve got is very
definitely what I know best and I’m good
at what I do
what are you specialize in porn as the
hustler founders attorney and companion
Norton’s young lawyer does his level
best to rise above his clients outburst
and provides first-rate support for his
fellow castmates do you think that gives
you license to mock the leaders of great
religious movements well goddamn right
Larry no objection your honor this is
totally irrelevant although he’s
reluctantly justifying Flint’s
questionable choices his courtroom
monologue extolling the virtues
free speech is particularly compelling
if we start throwing up walls against
what some of us think is obscene we may
very well wake up one morning and
realize that walls had been thrown up in
all kinds of places that we never
expected number 8
Walter Fane The Painted Veil proving
he’s as effective in big budget
blockbusters as he is in low-key period
dramas Norton dives into the role of a
bacteriologist who sent to manage the
Chinese cholera epidemic with his
unloving wife in tow they could stop up
here under the trees
I’d like to press on if it’s all right
with you certainly my comforts of no
concern to you right then we’ll continue
known for his hands-on approach to
filmmaking Norton played producer and
screenwriter on the film helping to
build a complex character that was both
cruel and selfless kind and callous they
come in they’ll contaminate everything
we’ve got to keep them outside of town
the bank
ice number seven isenheim the
illusionist as awe-inspiring as ever
Norton magically takes on the title role
in this mystical period piece aided by a
noble supporting cast
he helps tell the pain story of a
magician whose love is destined for
someone else then why bring her back
just to be with her his work in both the
lavish on stage performances and the
quieter offstage scenes is mesmerizing
and you can’t help but wonder if there’s
some supernatural power guiding his way
do you claim supernatural powers
I’ve never said anything of that kind
number six
Jack teller the score how do you compete
with Brando and De Niro on the Nexus guy
in the Customs House we should talk
okay bye-bye thank you acting beside his
idols Norton accepts the passing of the
torch and gives this average heist movie
some much-needed pizzazz as a
single-minded thief if you just don’t
want to come in on it that’s fine
say no but don’t send some third-rate
rent-a-thug to brush me off you can do
it like a professional though it’s
similar to the role he later played in
the Italian Job
Norton’s part in the score allows him to
demonstrate his incredible range and
believability even in the most fleeting
of scenes now you got a choice you can
either head for that tunnel or smile for
that camera number five Lester were
Murphy rounders and with inspiration
from Bugs Bunny Norton becomes a shifty
cursing fast talker in this romanticized
vision of the poker world you know what
you end your never-ending string of
boats okay obnoxious but somehow
charming Norton’s worm is the film’s
voice of unreason Mike like we got to
get you back on the game no in partners
you’re gonna rot Michael fit I mean I
really am done however the movies most
effective use of a big star talent is in
the shared scenes featuring Damon and
Norton Wow play your horse fifty bucks a
letter yeah when I win
are you gonna pay me back with my own
money Oh Oh easy relax don’t wing it
just just step and throw the contrast
between the clean-cut guy and is cheat
to win buddy
showcase the cream of the acting crop
all right take it easy
take it easy now are you supposed to
like beat us all right Shipley
number four Monty Brogan the 25th hour
it’s the last day of freedom for this
drug dealer before his seven year jail
sentence and Norton plays it with
characteristic intelligence
thoughtfulness and regret up there on a
skinny white boy with no friends those
guys are gonna use me up and end me
everything has extra meaning and energy
as Brogan realizes he’ll be a different
man the next time he sees his loved ones
under Spike Lee’s direction
Norton takes Brogan on a contemplative
journey keeping external turmoil to a
minimum save for one standout scene
cue Montgomery Brogan you had it all and
you threw it away you dumb number three
the narrator Fight Club this is your
life and it’s ending one minute at a
time showing his knack for portraying
chaotic characters Norton shines as the
unreliable narrator beside a brilliant
Brad Pitt in this macho violent and
darkly comic adaptation of Chuck
Palahniuk STOVL mother hit me in the ear
well Jesus I’m sorry after beginning the
film as the dejected yuppie outsider
who’s unhappy with life and desperate
for catharsis Norton gets to do all the
bad-boy stuff they could jam into one
movie earning himself a spot on the
a-list is that your blood some of it
yeah
number two Aaron Stampler and Roy primal
fear that the judge is gonna ask you how
you plead not not guilty by turning on a
dime from a shy stuttering southern boy
to his ruthless alter-ego Roy Norton
earned a Supporting Actor Oscar nod and
just think this was his feature film
debut sounds to me like they call shoot
all Aaron so full of poison it’s gonna
come out his eyes this courtroom
thriller about an abused altar boy who’s
charged with murdering a much-loved
archbishop could easily have been a
forgettable legal drama but thanks to
Norton’s range it stands as an
unmissable twist ending flick further
questions your honor
where the hell do you think you’re going
excuse me you look at me when I’m
talking to you
mr. Stampler coming number one Derek
Vinyard American History X for his role
as the unifying force in this powerful
tale of violence racism and Redemption
Norton earned his first Best Actor Oscar
nomination every night thousands of
these parasites stream across the border
like some pinata exploding so laughs
with 30 pounds of extra muscle he
navigates the rough territory and hate
speech with never-before-seen emotion
and ferocity and prevents the film from
becoming a preach bust if you come near
Danny again I will feed you your heart
Cameron his journey from white
supremacist to something more human is a
career-defining role on an already
stellar resume I killed two guys Danny I
killed him I didn’t make me feel any
different
