What is your favorite Jeremy Irons film? How would you rate him as an actor ? For me, I got a huge crush on him from The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Brideshead Revisited but I get that he’s probably not everyone’s type. But perhaps Dead Ringers is his greatest work. What day you?
I adore him, too. He is in my top 5 all time great actor list. I love his voice.
Even though he chooses some very quirky roles, he always outshines the material and is fascinating to watch.
If I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be Reversal of Fortune. The most incredible acting I've ever seen on film.

"Damage."
I also liked him as the Big Boss in "Margin Call" (also Spacey, Tucci, Quinto, Badgley, Bettany, Baker, and Demi Moore).

He made me feel all tingly down there watching “Damage” and the “Lolita” remake.

I think "Damage" featured the full Jeremey, anything else?

How glorious do I think Jeremy Irons is, in so many ways, including but not limited to that VOICE! ? "You have no idea."

R8 So glad you didn't feel all tingly down there watching "Dead Ringers"!

R15, why not? Picturing having two Jeremies in the sack at the same time sounds nice

Not even an Oscar nod for the best performance of his I've seen: Dead Ringers (1988). The New York Film Critics Circle got it right and named him Best Actor. Dusin Hoffman won the Oscar for Rain Man (1988) UGH!

R16 Just a joke there; but could imagine some sick fucks getting off on what was going on with those creepy yet highly artistic special surgical tools the one designed and had made... Some awfully twisted stuff in that film.
I had entirely forgotten about the incest sub-plot.

I don't know much about his acting except for the gay uncle in Lion King.

Physically looked his best in that third Die Hard movie.

He will forever be Charles Ryder in my eyes, my personal idol.

For an actor with a big name recognition he has a very small number of unforgettable/iconic roles.

Brideshead, Dead Ringers, Reversal Of Fortune, The Lion King and ???

I'm watching him right now in Reversal of Fortune. Sooo sexy.

Dead Ringers was so amazingly creepy, scary, but couldn't not watch it..He was brilliant.
Loved that it always seemed he was confident in his gifts & skill that he did the work he wanted to do & didn't settle.

Dead Ringers was truly a darkly comic horror cringefest from the master, David Cronenberg. But if you can stand it, Irons is stunning in it.

He was pretty entertaining in The Borgias, too. I must admit.

Ironic to find this thread here. I tried to watch Damage today, but turned it off after an hour and a half. I fast forwarded through all of the sex scenes. That cut half an hour of that 90 minutes.

That doesn't make sense.
You spent 90 minutes watching a film that lasts less than 120 minutes and skipped 30 minutes of sex scenes.
So you watched the entire movie?

Jeremy Irons and Rupert Graves in the same movie. Both so sexy.

Totally agree with those that cute “Damage” and “Reversal of Fortune”. Just brilliant in both- but actually pretty fabulous in most of his projects…

Here's a montage from IMDb. Gee, they left out The House of the Spirits.

A great actor but an even greater voice. I never found him particularly sexy, though.
Loved him in Die Hard 3 (he was the only villain in the series who came close to matching Alan Rickman) and in Margin Call (lots of great performances in a movie that should've been boring but is actually riveting).
I saw Dead Ringers a long time ago but don't remember it, and haven't seen The Lion King since I was a kid.
