In my opinion, and the opinions of the majority of movie fans, one of the greats actors of all time is, without a doubt, Dustin Hoffman. Ever since his breakout role in 1967′s The Graduate, Hoffman has been one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
This article will highlight some of Dustin Hoffman’s greatest films of all time.
One film that certainly has to be mentioned when discussing Dustin Hoffman movies is The Graduate. There was nothing prior to this film that entertained the thought of a young high school graduate having an affair with a married mother. A classic.
Another excellent movie starring Dustin Hoffman and showcasing his incredible versatility was Midnight Cowboy. This movie also stars Jon Voight, but it is Hoffman who steals the show as a crippled hustler.
Another great film that features the great Dustin Hoffman is Confidence. This is a heist film in every sense of the word. In a role unfamiliar to Hoffman, he stars as the villainous King, a gangster who is owed a large sum of money.
On a more comedic note, one role that I loved Hoffman in was Meet The Fockers (aka Meet The Parents 2). Hoffman plays Ben Stiller’s father in this follow up to the smash hit Meet The Parents. My expectations are not too high for the third installment.
One movie of Dustin Hoffman’s that I have yet to see, but have been meaning to for quite some time, is Kramer Vs. Kramer. Although I have not seen it, I can respect its place as a classic in American cinematic history.
Hopefully there are one or more films on this list of Dustin Hoffman films which you have yet to see.
