This famous and peculiar actor seems to turn everything he touches to gold.
Top ten Johnny Depp movies
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
It is undoubtedly the most successful role for Johnny Depp. Captain-pirate Jack Sparrow is the protagonist of the entire Pirates of the Caribbean movie saga. This character captivated the public with his wit, his eccentricity and his particular way of moving and expressing himself.
This fantastic performance led him to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor in 2003.
Blow
This time Johnny Depp plays Geroge Jung, one of the most famous drug traffickers in recent United States history. The most striking thing about this interpretation is the distance it takes with the real character, and the ability to varnish Jung with some traits of Depp’s own personality.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
The fifth collaboration with Tim Burton was a success in several ways. On the one hand, the critics raved about the film. On the other, the general public discovered the actor’s musical gifts and his ability to play a perverse and vengeful character, the barber Benjamin Barker.
Donnie brasco
On this occasion Johnny Depp shares the bill with one of the great actors of our time: Al Pacino. This crime drama based on true events served to demonstrate that Depp could act from containment.
So both leads of the film received positive reviews for their incredible performances.
Dead man
The professional careers of Johnny Depp and director Jim Jarmusch intersected in 1995. The fruit of this meeting was this film, a strange but shocking western.
Dead man was but another critical success that helped Depp to establish himself at the top of the acting world as one of the best actors of his generation.
Who does Gilbert Grape love?
This title directed by Lasse Halltrom highlighted two aspects. First: Leonardo DiCaprio was going to be an acting star. Second: you can make a drama about disability without resorting to hackneyed and false tearful sentimentality. Depp, on this occasion, is surrounded by other emerging actors, such as the aforementioned Dicaprio, or a very young Juliette Lewis.
Sleepy hollow
In this film Johnny Depp plays in an exceptional way Ichabod Crane, a police officer who is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of murders.
In addition to the personal incarnation of this detective, the film is not wasted when it comes to artistic direction.
Ed wood
Possibly, to this day, Depp has received the most praise from the public. On this occasion, again under Burton’s command, the actor plays Ed Wood, considered the worst director in the history of cinema.
The interpretation of this character allowed him to demonstrate his talents for comedy.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
First collaboration with ex-president Terry Guilliam. This comedy film, which focuses on drugs and drug- induced hallucinations, was hit by critics. Despite this, she was nominated for the Palme d’Or at Cannes.
Without a doubt, one of the best aspects of this film is the exaggerated, but successful, interpretation of Johnny Depp, playing the journalist Raoul Duke.
Eduardo Scissorhands , the great role of Johnny Depp
Neither did he obtain awards, nor was he considered timely at the time. But over the next two decades, Eduardo Scissorhands managed to carve a huge hole in the hearts of both the critics and the public.
The charisma and feeling that the actor brings to this performance are second to none. So, to this day, it is impossible to think of Eduardo Scissorhands without remembering Johhny Depp.
