1. Can't get enough of him as the "anti-Gandhi" Don Logan in "Sexy Beast"

2. Monster yet quiet performance. He is so so slimey you can smell him.
I just bought the dvd for about 12.99 bucks. I can't believe how cheap DVD's have gotten. I'll never rent. Its netflix or owning.

3. Love Sir Ben. HOWEVER
he didn't deserve the Oscar for Gandhi. That was Dustin Hoffman's year. The fact that one was a historical figure and the other role was a cross-dresser is why it went that way. Ebert pretty famously said at the time that Hoffman coulda played Mahatma, but no way could BK have played Tootsie.

Loved him in Sexy Beast as well. Pure evil.

And House of Sand and Fog. Even liked his bad guy spin in Sneakers.
