We've been hearing about "Iron Man" (see below for video and showtimes) for roughly the past three years. Tons of hype. We're talking "Aquaman" hype. Will it live up to the hype? We won't know until Sunday evening when the weekend box office projections are made public.
What we do know is that Robert Downey Jr. is the star of this film and today is Thursday. Combine the two and we've got a countdown of our favorite Robert Downey Jr.'s characters ("Iron Man" not included) in a little segment we like to call Top 5 Thursday.
5) Leo Wiggins in "Johnny Be Goode": Long ago, we used to contend that this was No. 1 on the list. Further insight into our thought process revealed that this was based solely on under-ratedness of this movie as an '80s classic. We now see the error of our ways.
4) Julian Wells in "Less Than Zero": Downey Jr. plays a drug addict in L.A. in the 1980s. Not much else to say about that aside from "brilliant casting."
3) Charlie Chaplin in "Chaplin": Downey Jr. was so good in his potrayal of the early comic genius that he nabbed an Academy Award nomination for best actor. Add this to your Netflix list if you don't recall the film.
2) Wayne Gale in "Natural Born Killers": A great (and crazy) movie in general, Downey shows his true acting range in this role as a TV newsman tracking Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis on a murder spree.
1) Derek Lutz in "Back to School": Anyone who heckles a diver earns a No. 1 spot on any list!
