I don't normally like movies about retarded (or whatever the fuckin' PC term is now) people...but I even enjoyed I am Sam a lot ....mighta been the Beatles covers though...

Also get The Pledge; he's not in it, but his direction is amazing.

I liked his performance with his wife in She's So Lovely a lot.

Get State of Grace and Hurlyburly also. And Falcon and the Snowman, and At Close Range. And Shanghai Surprise...oh wait, just kidding

He was fantastic in Hurly Burly. In fact, that whole cast was phenomenal. What a bunch of whacked out characters!

Yeah the whole film is like a workshop for aspiring actors. I liked the film, but even if you don't, ya gotta respect the work. Meg Ryan breaking form. It's like the Glengarry cast...unbelievable.

Penn was great in I Am Sam. I was surprised and glad he got an Oscar nomination for it. I'm not a huge fan, but I like him.

BTW, Could someone help me with a Sean Penn movie? I saw a preview for MGM movies and there's a snippit of a movie where Sean Penn is a cop and he is yelling "Somebody get an ambulance!!!" Just from that tiny clip, I want to see it. Does anyone know what it is?

I actually think Sean Penn is great. One of the greatest talents in american cinema (when it comes to acting, of course).
He's totally amazing in Sweet and Lowdown. That is my favourite Sean Penn performance. But he's also great in almost everything he does, like U-Turn, Dead Man Walking, Hurlyburly, The Game... I'd love to see him working with Woody Allen again and I personally think he'd be great in a Tim Burton movie.

He's definitely a good actor. I've only seen Fast Times and Casualties of War but yea, that's enough for me to know. I still try to visualize him as Dean when I watch PDL, I hope PTA still plans to work with him someday, I'm dying to see him work with him. DGG too, I heard he thought he was perfect for one of the roles in The Undertow but ultimately decided against it. I can't imagine Sean Penn in a DGG movie, he's just so intense. He needs to work with some big name actors, that would be fun as hell to watch...like seeing Sandler and Tom Cruise in PTA's movies...I love that stuff.

i think u'll find that DGG is not always gonna be "dreamtime/sleepy" ppl. just like PTA left the coked up characters behind in PDL.
