Favorite Robert Duvall movie

Napalm in the morning is just a good line. The writing as much as the acting made the character memorable.
 
I enjoyed him in days of thunder. Maybe the only thing I enjoyed in days of thunder.

The Great Santini was his best role in my opinion.

true..... ransom and i were talking about that yesterday.... ...robert duvall played the part of boo radley.... a non-speaking part... . but i read something about that last night which said a few lines were written into the script for duvalls character... and at least one even made it into the film pre edit.. but the scene was deleted........ .....i would love to see it... but unlike today directors in the past didn;t save deleted scenes....
 
My favorite is Gone in 60 Seconds - mostly because I'm a car guy. Days of Thunder was a close second. :D

This got me to thinking who's screen acting I've been most impressed with. I had to think for a while.

Martin Landau. You'll know him from tv's Mission: Impossible and Space 1999. I got a DVD set of the complete series second hand and watched it with the kids. The guy was the best actor I've seen on screen. Even in the bit parts he had.

That's not to say there aren't some good ones out there. Michael Keaton and Tom Hanks are close seconds.

If Landau and Hanks were contemporaries, though, I think Landau would have landed the roles in Sully and Captain Phillips.

Mine would be Jimmy Stewart with John Wayne and Cary Grant right there also

Robert Duvall is my favorite actor of all time! We lost him this last week and I hope he knew the Lord but that is neither here nor there now.

I know the movie house is wicked and of the devil but no one said nothing if you went to Blockbuster and now that we have Netflix, you can stream to your hearts content so long as the deacon isn't pokng around or whatever!

So... What is your absolute favorite Robert Duvall movie? For me, I believe it is a tossup between "Secondhand Lions" and "The Lonseome Dove" series of which I have watched numerous times! I also liked "The Apostle" especially in the scene where he takes Billy Bob Thorton out back and they go a few rounds with the Church congregation watching (church discipline in action here!).

What are some absolute "Must Watch" Robert Duvall movies? What are some hidden gems that people tend to pass over? I'm thinking "Network" ought to be there as well as "The Great Santini. "Colors" was a good move as well as his role in "Falling Down." Everyone remembers him as Lt Col Kilgore in "Apocalypse Now" even if they cannot recall much of the actual plot line of the movie!

Robert Duvall was one of the Hollywood Greats and perhaps the last of them! He will be missed!

That's easy.
