Léon: The Professional

This is my favourite of his characters because he's just so crazy, cool and murderous, traits he always masters in his roles, although he masters all his roles...

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

This is my favourite film that Gary Oldman is in but his performance as Agent Stansfield in Leon is too amazing to not have as number one. Having said that his performance as Jim Gordon throughout the Dark Knight Trilogy is the stuff of amazement as well. Not crazy and loud this time, but cool, collected and yet still just as effective.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

My favourite of the Harry Potter films with Gary Oldman's Sirius Black becoming my second favourite character (after Luna). I liked the character when he was introduced in Prizoner of Azkaban and thought Oldman gave a perfect performance, however it wasn't until this film that I was really convinced he was a good guy.

True Romance (1993)

Back to bad guy Oldman in this, he plays Drexl, a druggy pimp, so well I didn't even realise it was him until I saw the list of the cast!

Lawless (2012)

He only gets a small role in this, but his characters pretty awesome (his first act is to obliterate a car with his tommy gun!). He looks pretty cool as a depression era gangster, another trait to add to his perfected list..

A quick list of my 5 favourite Gary Oldman films!

He was born 21st March 1958

Still got quite a few of his films to see so my choices may change over time.

*Note* for the top 5 I wanted to include a film from a different franchise, so not just all 3 of the Dark knight trilogy or Harry Potters :)
