"I gave the whole town a blowjob." 20 years ago, movie-goers were stunned when their favorite rom-com leading lady Julia Roberts stormed onto the screen wearing a short skirt, six-inch heels and the world's most famous bra, as well as an arsenal of F-bombs in Erin Brockovich. But like the real-life woman she was playing, she proved irresistible, with the superstar landing her first Oscar. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and co-starring Albert Finney as real-life attorney Ed Masry, Erin Brockovich follows Brockovich and Masry's fight against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Pg&e) of California in 1993 when she discovers they had contaminated the water supple in the town of Hinkley while working...

Three months ago, I supposed the next great movie newsroom drama would look more like Absence of Malice than All The President’s Men. Who knew that Clint Eastwood, filmdom’s Great Disruptor, would so soon be on his way to making sense of that supposition?
Just last week, Warner Bros. confirmed that Eastwood was poised to begin shooting Richard Jewell, the real-life story of a security guard who was mistakenly hounded as a possible perpetrator of Atlanta’s 1996 Olympic Park bombing. Following news reports, the studio acknowledged that Eastwood will be filming in Georgia, never mind the calls for a boycott over the state’s new abortion law. But that likely won’t be the last spark of controversy around a project that has it all: Reputational damage, over-reaching journalists, investigative onslaught—just like Absence of Malice, and very much like a scene from the current media-political wars.

This week, the world lost a legendary actor in Albert Finney. He might’ve already been an icon as the handsome, rugged face of the British New Wave of cinema, but he soon transformed into an actor who loved disappearing into roles, whether behind pounds of makeup or thick accents. And in doing so he found himself in everything from Oscar favorites to star-studded blockbusters to auteur-driven indies. Here we’ve compiled 15 of his greatest roles, and that might not even begin to scratch the surface.
“Saturday Night, Sunday Morning” (1960)
Finney’s breakout role in “Saturday Night, Sunday Morning” branded him as the first “Angry Young Man,” an archetype that would grow out of the rebellious ’60s and Britain’s rising lower class. From the film’s opening minutes, Finney looks like a British James Dean, and you can immediately sense his disdain at any sort of authority figure, giving...
