I really like his scene in Inglourious Basterds. Probably the best scene in the film.
This makes me happy!
Literally just got back from a screening of Steve Jobs. Fantastic film and Fassbender knocked it out of the park.
+James Bastion Hell yes he did!! Give him the Oscar for Best Actor!!
The one-take scene in Hunger is a scene I always bring up because when I watched the film, I actually paused the movie when it cut and me and a friend turned to each other in amazement. Liam Cunningham also deserves great credit for that performance.
+Robert Pallin Same. I got up and walked around the room...on my 1st and 2nd time. Wow!
My favorite film critic talking about my favorite actor! Smiles!
The "foals" monologue from Hunger (the conversation between Fassbender and Cunningham that is mention) is some of the finest acting ever put to film.
I love the movie Hunger. It is without a doubt my favourite Fassbender performance. Powerful movie, powerful performance!
Sooooo glad you got Hunger in there. Why he didn’t win an Oscar for this I will never know. It’s beyond acting. Thank god for him because my other fav Daniel Day Lewis is retired. The Irish! ☘️
Glad Eden Lake got a shout out, very underrated film.
Two of my favourite people: Kermode and Fassbender. Would love to meet either!
McQueen and fassbender, just great.
That scene from Hunger Kermode mentions is one of the best peaces of acting ever put on film. Hunger is a remarkable film.
Amazing amazing actor, I love him
Can't believe he didn't find a place for his David in Prometheus. Even if you don't like the film, he's still brilliant in it.
You just reminded me that I need to watch Hunger and Slow West again this weekend, cheers Mark!
Pitch Black Heist. A short film with Liam Cunningham and directed by John MacLean.
So prolific and consistently great at the start of his career, and now seems to star in one big budget turkey after another. It's like he's done De Niro's career in half the time.
I like everything he has done expect The Counselor and A Dangerous Method.
Fantastic list!
I'm sure this will massively knock whatever little "credentials" i had down, but his performances in Prometheus, X-Men: First Class and Inglourious Basterds are my favourites. The former two films are riddled with problems and naff moments, but Fassbender's work in them are exceptional. His brief role in Basterds was brilliant too, second only to the well-known Landa opening scene.
You just knew when watching Hunger you were watching someone with serious ability & has not disappointed since.
Class act.
Fassbender's role in 12 Years A Slave may be supporting, but to me, it's clearly the best film on the list.
Kind of endearing how Kermode still uses the term "computer game"
+Steven W Maybe I'm getting old, but what else would you call it?
+godfreemorals just video games. I think computer game comes out of the 80s and 90s when computers were still a new thing to have in your household
+Steven W Also not all video games are on the computer.
+Steven W To me the term video game seems even older :) Maybe Digital games would be better
+Steven W As someone who's trying to get into the games industry, I'd say "computer game" is a way more accurate term and frankly it sounds better. Theres nothing video about games, but pretty much every game is played on a computer, a console is just a computer designed to connect to your TV easily.
My favourite role of his is David in 'Prometheus.' Not one of his better films but one of his best performances.
Bender for Bond! :)
Not his best films but always loved his performances in First Class and inglourious Basterds...especially the Argentina bar scene in X-Men, just outstanding
Great list
Will I need a Uplay account to watch the Assassins Creed movie?
Fassbender is the man!
Some gems in there that I have to admit had slipped by me. Surprised by the No1 though, couldn't get my head around Frank, no pun intended.
steve cheevers I heard he used a double inside that Frank Sidebottom suit for 95% of the movie as he felt it was beneath him.
You can't underestimate his performance in inglourious basterds.
Inglourious Basterds
He needs to play Slaine in an adaption.
He's also amazing in Inglorious Basterds.
I think the young actor in Slow West is Kodi Smit McPhee, not Jodi - nevertheless, an good introduction to some Fassbender performances that slipped by me.
Having not yet seen Macbeth, I would have added Inglourious Basterds simply for the fact that he, as a virtual unknown at the time, came in and stole the whole film out from under everyone else. He's the only actor Tarantino didn't pair with Waltz, which is really saying something about his abilities.
Good list......A Dangerous Method and Macbeth were both disappointing films for me - but he was still good in them.
He was one of my favorite things about Inglorious Bastards......was in my absolute favorite scene too.
My list would be similar but in a different order I guess. Slow West would be in my top five [along with Hunger, Shame, Inglorious and 12 Years a Slave]......Frank would still be number 1 though.
Also, I've not seen Eden Lake or Fish Tank.....must make a note of them
:)
For me
1) 12 Years a Slave
2) Shame
3) Hunger
4) Frank
5) X Men First Class he is brilliant as Magneto hunting down the Nazis in the beginning.
I haven't seen Fish Tank, Macbeth, A Dangerous Method yet I need to catch up. One movie I don't think has been mentioned is Centurion which was an enjoyable film and Michael is good in that film as well.
Hunger and Shame are his best performances. Plus 12 years. All Steve Mcqueen films.
Karl Urban in Dredd also covered his face during the entire movie. He did show his mouth though...
My own Top 10:
1. Hunger
2. Slow West
3. Frank
4. 12 Years A Slave
5. Prometheus
6. Inglourious Basterds
7. Haywire
8. Shame
9. A Dangerous Method
10. The Counselor
Still not seen Fish Tank, stupidly (I've had a copy for years now and never sat down to it). Not seen Macbeth yet either - really wanted to see it in the cinema but couldn't convince anyone to go with me! Steve Jobs looks okay, but I'm not really feeling Fassbender as Jobs...nor am I Danny Boyle's biggest fan these days.
Looking forward to The Light Between Oceans (Cianfrance being one of my favourite contemporary American directors), and of course his film with Terrence Malick. Interested in Assassin's Creed, if only to see what they do with the material - I think it has more potential to be the first good video game film (sorry Duncan Jones).
inglorious Basterds?
1. Hunger
2. Fish tank
3. 12 years a slave
4. Shame
5. Frank
Love Shame.
I would have stuck Centurion in there somewhere, but I think I'm the only person who liked that film.
Not that the films are amazing but he is absolutely class as the android in prometheus and the alien films. I also loved him in his shirt role in inglorious basterds.
Not seen all of these so I'll do a top 5:
5. Frank
4. Macbeth
3. 12 Years a Slave
2. Fish Tank
1. Shame
Fassbender for BOND!
Bloody love Haywire 👍
Before watching Shame or Hunger will be nr 1
Inglorious Basterds
" not one but two Kermorde award for Best Actor..." lol 2 kermodes
Trespass Against Us.
Karl Urban in Dredd. just sayin'
I'm sorry, I have to dissent here. I've been hearing for years about how great he is, but I can't say I've ever really been much impressed by his performances. The turning point for me, the point at which I stopped taking it for granted that he was unquestionably good, was seeing him crying in his car in The Counselor. In that moment, what I saw was not a character but an actor doing a masterclass in emoting - and not in a good way. Now, for the life of me, I can't stop seeing a self-regarding actor, no matter what role he's playing. But I was and still am predisposed to like the guy and look forward to seeing him in the role that makes me sit up and stop shrugging.
Ehhh Mark...Hello......Inglorious Bastards
Kermode's hatred for Tarantino is on full display here by not including Inglorious Basterds (which any other sane film critic would have included) in the Top 10.
To be judged the best thing about Prometheus is the ultimate back handed compliment.
All you folks impressed by a 17 minute uncut scene need to watch a play ;)
Still shocks me to this day, that Mark thinks 12 Years is any good.
Frank is an awful film.
He's tedious and nearly inanimate, and you forget him the moment an insert shot appears. I didn't even believe the android.
Frank was such a dull film
