As much as I love All The President's Men, I voted in the blank category for Lenny - one of the best performances I've seen from any actor, ad one of the most honest and powerful autobiographical movies I've ever seen.

It's sort of a forgotten gem I guess, and his performance in it is brilliant, as is Valerie Perrine's.

I enjoyed his Mumbles from Dick Tracy. Might be my favorite part of that movie.

The Graduate mops the floor. It's one of the best movies of all time, period.

Definitely Rain Man. Definitely.

Hook sucks.

You really can't lose - with the possible exception of Hook, all of these movies are good. Little Big Man is another underrated one, but he's been in so many classics it's hard to pick a personal 'runner up'.

I'd have to say All The President's Men would be in second place as far as I'm concerned.

Ishtar is legendary for being bad. Are you telling me that's actually good?

I like a fun movie so picked Tootsie, but Papillon was pretty darn good.

I kind of like Hook.

Hoffman used to be my favorite actor (before I discovered Tom Welling) so I like pretty much everything I have seen him in.

Had to vote for All the President's Men.

Hoffman has made a ton of great films (although if he were a *truly* great actor, he would have appeared in a Marvel movie already), but ATPM is the only one of his that I can ALWAYS be in the mood to watch.

This poll is full of lies.

The first five minutes are funny. But then they go to the desert, at which point ...

Well, it still might be funny. But I stopped watching because I assumed people were right about it.

I'm saying it's slightly better than Hook, but that's all I'm willing to commit to.

I think Hook's badness is being exaggerated.

Now Meet the Fockers, that's a terrible movie. Although even there, Hoffman is the funniest and best thing about it.
