    Your Top Five Movies/Mini-Series starring Benedict

    Can it be that we don't have a thread about our favourite movies/tv-mini-series starring Benedict yet? Because I was thinking about this yesterday, and I know it's hard to decide... but it's certainly interesting to see which projects he's been part of we like best (apart from Sherlock), don't you think?
    If you like, do a ranking, but you might also give your Top Five in no particular order.

    So, I'll give it a start:

    1. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - the atmosphere, the story, the style, the characters, the bromance 
    2. Third Star - makes me cry every time I watch it, some very fundamental truths, and again: the bromance
    3. Star Trek Into Darkness - I just love, love, love Ben's Khan
    4. Parade's End - great story, something to watch again and again
    5. The Fifth Estate - Ben's Assange totally convinced me

    Well, that is really difficult. What does Benedict usually say - an embarrassment of riches? 

    1. Parade's End
    2. Third Star
    3. Hawking
    4. The Fifth Estate
    5. Small Island

    Re: Your Top Five Movies/Mini-Series starring Benedict

    I have to watch the 4 DVDs which still are in my waiting loop. F..cough... need more time for this...

    My ranking from what I have seen so far:

    1. Star Trek Into Darkness - his Khan was brilliant
    2. The Fifth Estate - Benedict as Assange was the missing link to finally infect me
    3. Third Star - what can I say... just heart breaking
    4. Stuart - A Life backwards - not easy to understand, but what I understood... interesting
    5. Wreckers - have to watch it a few times to understand it...

    As said, it will certainly change.

    1. Third Star - such a beautiful film
    2. Star Trek Into Darkness - may I just say that his hair and voice are particularly sexy in STID
    3. Hobbit - don't forget motion capture
    4. Wreckers
    5. The Other Boleyn Girl
    Hmmm it looks like I have a lot to catch up because that's all I have seen so far (except Little Favour, Inseparable, Murder Is Easy and the document about Dunkirk on youtube)
    However, my favourite Ben's non-Sherlock work is Cabin Pressure for sure - I love what he can do with his voice. He should definitely do more comedy roles.

    Well, let's see.... 1. Parade's End - I think I love this series even more than Sherlock, (almost)2. Third Star - Benedict is hearbreaking, but the whole movie is outstanding as well, IMO3. The Fifth Estate - so different from his usual "self" and so intense4. Star Trek into Darkness - a wronged superman and sooooooo handsome5. Hawking - young Benedict and once again a spot on incarnation of real Hawking
