Plain and simple, Ethan Hawke is one of the more interesting actors in the movie industry. I wouldn't call him reclusive, but you don't really hear about him unless he has a movie coming out. Imagine if all actors were this way. When you do hear about him, however, it's usually because his movie is getting good (or bad) reviews.
This article will take a look at some of his best films over his career.
One movie that certainly has to be included on this list is Training Day. If you like cop movies, then this is a must-see. Hawke got nominated for best supporting actor in this movie, while Denzel Washington won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance.
Another movie that I really liked was Lord Of War. This movie did not get the press it deserved, but I thought it was very well done. Nicholas Cage stars as an arms dealer named Yuri Orlov, who is singlehandedly supplying guns to fund African wars. Hawke plays the FBI agent looking to bring him down.
Another movie that I would definitely include on this list is Daybreakers. Amongst the recent vampire craze, it is hard to find an original script surrounding this concept. Daybreakers takes place in a world where almost everyone has become a vampire and the world is running out of humans, and facing a starvation crisis.
One of Ethan Hawke's oldest films still remains one of his best. I am of course, talking about the 1989 classic Dead Poet's Society. This is an incredible and inspirational film that also stars Robin Williams in one of his best roles.
The last film that makes the cut for me is Before Sunset. I think the thing I like about this sequel to Before Sunrise is the fact that Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy were very much involved in the writing process. In fact, them and director Richard Linklater were nominated for an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
As it stands, this is my Ethan Hawke best-of list.
