Anthony Hopkins has real talent. Too many actors/actresses are branded as talented these days when all they are really capable of is playing themselves. Anthony becomes the character that he's portraying and is so believable that quite often I forget that it's actually him. I've loved his films since I was very young and his voice is so eloquent. Thank you Sir Anthony Hopkins.

And now, THE FATHER! One of the best ever!

He's one of the best actors in the history of cinema

Fun fact: Hopkins' total screen time in The Silence of the Lambs, is only 24 minutes. He won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and the movie itself had more than 60 awards and 50 nominations. What a legend! Him and Denzel Washington are my all time favorite actors

Truly one of the greatest to ever grace the screen.

I'm glad you recognized his ingenious performance as Dr. Robert Ford. Many people don't give Anthony Hopkins enough credit for that role, they don't believe the show's success is mainly attributed to him, but it most certainly is. No other actor can play a highly intelligent character who's both reserved and intimidating more convincingly.

Honourable Mentions: Instinct, The Rite, Meet Joe Black, The Wolfman, Hearts in Atlantis . . basically anything he's ever done, without a doubt the worlds greatest living actor in my opinion.

His VOICE...!!! I'd listen to him all day long!!! 100% talent! What an admirable man!

Sir Anthony Hopkins is one of the best actor ever lived.!!! Soooo happy he won another Oscar this year, no one deserved it as much as he did for such a breat taking performance in The Father.

Best Actor on the planet!!!!

In my opinion sir Anthony is by far the most captivating and talented actor and his mark on film will never be tarnished 😊

I wish he will win the Oscar again with The Father. What a Brilliant performance!

Who knew that Hannibal Lecter would be #1?

Westworld is masterpiece.. All Thanks to Anthony Hopkins

Anthony Hopkins makes every movie better just by starring in it!

His performance in The Elephant Man is a quite underrated to be honest

Where is Fracture. Damn this guy has too many good roles. What an icon

the godfather of acting

The Mask of Zorro, Magic, and of course The Silence of the Lambs are my favourite Anthony Hopkins movies.

Sir Anthony is a Great Artist.

Hannibal Lecter is the kind of person I would never like to run into a dark alley. Hopkins performance as the highly-educated cannibal is indeed legendary and impossible to be represented by another actor. Hannibal Lecter is Anthony Hopkins as the Joker is Heath Ledger.

How is it even possible that Legends of The Fall was missed off this list?? One if the most powerful epics ever made and Hopkin's performance was immense!!!

He truly was something else in Silence of the Lambs. He wanted Hanibal to come across as "a tarantula in a bottle", and he actually pulled it off. Remarkable actor.

His role in Amistad should be on here as well imo

Sir Anthony has some of the most striking eyes, along with Rutger Hauer and Cillian Murphy.

Who is here after he won OSCAR ??

What about his performance in "The Word's Fastest Indian"? I think it deserved an honorable mention, very different approach and so refreshing to watch!

He was great in "Meet Joe Black", too

Im a little bit sad to see that his character in the movie: "The Edge" from 1997 isnt mentioned here. He played that role really well.

This guy is really a legend

His top 20 would be better then other actors top 10!

It's not in this video, but I LOVED Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Titus Andronicus in 1999. He was amazing!!!

"The remains of the day" ❤ It is like he is acting himself. My favourite actor. Some movies I watched only because of him (Meet Joe Black)

C.S. Lewis was one of the greatest theologians in the last 200 years as well. His book, "A Grief Observed", is his heartbreaking journal of his deep grief over losing his beloved wife. It's all the more poignant as the same disease took his mother from him when he was a boy. That grief made him an atheist until he attended Oxford and met his mentor and spiritual guide, JRR Tolkien.

Oh Anthony , never stop acting..

One of my favourites is A Bridge Too Far as the paratroop regiment Colonel - very quintessentially English and understated ... but flashes of genius acting. His close-ups are where his craft shines through.

We all saw #1 coming

He has been brilliant in everything I have ever seen him in, even as Titus Andronicus.

What about "The Dresser", "Amistad", "84 Charing Cross Road" and "Howard's End"? They deserve at least an honorable mention!!!

Undoubtedly the best actor on the planet

I like him as Mr Stevens in Remains of the day.

One of the best actors ever period

One of the best living actors.

My all time favorite actor!

Anthony Hopkins was so good in westworld that the show, while still good in this new season, just feels like it’s missing something without him.

Now he's topped the lot with The Father.

The professional acumen of the acclaimed actor is the ability to be absorbed into character, portray all that the script, producer, scene, music score and director wish and ....extract himself or herself completely from the character before being typecast. That is a surreal skill and ability and transcends taught method acting.

Shadowlands on #9 . . . . Seriously man!! It was one of the best romance fantacy I've ever seen in my life..

Respect for the man. I respect and adore him

Pity his role in a Bridge Too Far doesn't get mention. Hopkins was very understated thoroughly entertaining role as the paratrooper commander facing overwhelming odds.

I loved him as Don Diego in the Zorro film 😣 That should have at least been in the top 5

Oh boy, so hard to choose *the #1* of Sir Anthony Hopkins' performances! 😩 ... If I had to choose: *"The Remains of the Day"* . Hannibal Lecter might be his greatest piece of art, his most outstanding 'creature' brought to the screen, but I think Mr. Stevens is the very very best job Hopkins has ever done portraying a human being. The famous book scene alone literally leaves you beyond words. You can feel the man's severe struggle with the slightest move of his fingers in the direction of Miss Kenton's hair - Sublime! I was a bit surprised that one wasn't ranked higher. Actually, I'm sure it would at least be your *#3* if 1993 hadn't been the year of both Tom Hanks in Philadelphia and Liam Neeson in Schindler's List - Hopkins would've been whelmed with trophies! Nevermind, we could all spend hours debating over the Top Sir Anthony Hopkins performances. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can think of five more film titles for the Honorable Mentions section alone: Hamlet, Chaplin, Meet Joe Black, Fracture, The Two Popes...

I remember him in the BBC's "War and Piece". And also as Mr Stevens in Remains of the Day

He was also great in An bridge too far’.

Also ''THE RITE'' his performance is absolutely stunning

here after he received another oscar for The Father, at the age of 83!

He is amazing..

Just watched Magic again. What an incredible performance. One of the greatest actors ever.

Legends of the Fall 😍

Anthony Hopkins is a Special Movie Star... He shines above all other stars. I see so much kindness in his face. He is a beautiful man. I wish he was my friend, and neighbor. I also love his words of wisdom. He is an inspiration. { If he could read one comment from me it would be Sir Anthony, please take care of your self. Stay safe from covid. God Bless You, and may the Angels watch over you forever. Marion Coleman. Jan. 7,2022 }.

My top 10 are very different from these. They are as follows (including TV Series/miniseries): 10. The Lion in Winter (1968) 9. Howards End (1992) 8. The Mask of Zorro (1998) 7. The Elephant Man (1980) 6. Legends of the Fall (1994) 5. QB VII (1974)... note: this one is not well-known (sadly), but seriously, watch it! It's Amazing! 4. A Bridge Too Far (1978) 3. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) 2. The Remains of the Day (1993) Honorable mentions: International Velvet (1978) Magic (1978) 84 Charing Cross Road (1987) The World's Fastest Indian (2005) And number one is... drum roll..... 1. Shadowlands (1993)

I’m glad but also surprised that his Corky character from Magic was an honourable mention. I was hoping that’d be on the list he was INCREDIBLE in Magic!

list is fine. ans I'm happy to see "Shadowlands" on it. He did an outstanding performance !! I cry with the character always when I watch this movie.

Just a fine fine actor...love this man

I am missing his role in instinct and in Meet Joe Black here.

There's a movie that unfortunately didn't get the attention it deserves (Instinct), the scene where he defends the gorillas as his own family is a true masterpiece.

He is my favorite actor. Besides The Silence of The Lambs and all that, what he did in Westworld was mindblowing.

Extraordinary in “The Remains of the Day”. Incomparable!

Hell no! Mr. Stevens should be in the top 3!

can we update this please - as he is THE greatest actor ever - just got a 2nd Oscar!

About ten years ago, Sure Anthony Hopkins posted on LDS Standing his testimony. It was the most loving and moving I had heard. He is a beautiful man and a beautiful spirit.

all hail the almighty Sir Anthony Hopkins

I was gonna be ticked if Shadowlands was not on here.

I would put "Instinct" or "The Edge" over "Thor" any day. Hell i'd even put his "Beowulf" performance in there and that's motion capture. Pfft...Thor....behave yourselves.

No, no, no! Hopkins in Dracula better than Hopkins in The Bounty?! No!!! Day-Lewis/Fryer: I am master of the Bounty Hopkins/Bligh: And I, sir, am COMMANDER, BY LAW! I AM THE FIRST, DO YOU UNDERSTAND, GOD DAMN YOUR HIDE?! Hopkins at his best in this scene, imo

Loved all his performances, bar none !

Do not forget his performance I the b b c version off war and peace ( 1972) and his role in the lion in winter

Lector is obvious but Remains of the Day is a wonderfully subtle performance.

Abracadabra, I sit on his knee...presto change, and now he is me...Hocus Pocus, we take her to bed...Magic is fun...we're dead. Memorized from the original ad. I've never seen the movie (my mother did) but I'll never forget that ad. That said, I loved him in "The Elephant Man" and "Silence Of the Lambs".

He is amazing in Westworld!!!

And now he has another oscar 😌....definitely one, if not, the best actor of all time. I honestly cannot stand any other actor but sir. Hopkins,,,he's so pleasing to watch.

Je viens de regarder son dernier film " The father". C'est tout simplement un chef-d'oeuvre. Anthony est l'un des grands acteurs de tous les temps

I was expecting his role in Fracture to be included in the list and his role in the Edge

I didn’t know he was Odin

Nice Video.

I Iove this guy ❤️

Hey what about being the Narrator on The Grinch?? He said it only took him one day to record it.

i liked him as abraham van helsing in the 1992 dracula movie

One important movie I miss: "Hearts of Atlantis" the storyline is might be not over the top but his performance were outstanding!

#1 should be the Superbowl commericial!

O maior ator do mundo !!!!!

He has always given his best

Seriously. Where is "Howards End"? His performance in this film was spectacular.

One of our most great European Actors!!!!!😍😍😃🇪🇺❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I could blindly say he did his best in every movie he acted. But still my favorite would be the world's fastest Indian.

In my opinion, The Remains of the Day should’ve been #1.

Super bardzo lubię filmy z nim

Hannibal Lecter and Dr Robert Ford are my favorite Anthony Hopkins performances

Who’s here after he just won another Oscar

As Ford he was so interesting and truly intimidating
