Total Recall: Anthony Hopkins' Best Movies
Some actors struggle with typecasting for their entire careers -- and some, like Anthony Hopkins, get to do pretty much whatever they want. Since making his film debut in 1968, Hopkins has dabbled in everything from Merchant Ivory period dramas to horror, moving from television to film -- and picking up an Academy Award, and several nominations, along the way. He's battled a bear in The Edge, walked away unscathed from the misery of Joel Schumacher's Bad Company, and even survived Freejack, but he's never been given the Rotten Tomatoes Total Recall treatment -- so in honor of his supporting turn in The Wolfman, we decided now would be the perfect time to look back at the 10 best-reviewed films in his distinguished career.

"All The King's Men" is handsomely mounted. It features a stellar cast. And it's a misfire from the opening frames. The film, which makes its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, has all the trappings of an Oscar-bait prestige picture, only without any of the emotional resonance or insight into the politics of its era -- or ours.
