40. The Last Samurai -Katsumoto's Death
“If The Emperor wishes my death, he has but to ask. “
The Last Samurai did have the potential to be a poor mans “Dances With Wolves”, but for the saving grace of Ken Watanabe.

A Collection Of Underrated Actors
Joaquin Phoenix
Standout Roles: Walk The Line, Signs, Quills, Gladiator, Clay Pigeons, Signs, 8MM, Return To Paradise, U-Turn, and To Die For
Reason Underrated: Strangely overshadowed by his co-stars which are often bigger bills like Russell Crowe in Gladiator, Geoffrey Rush and Kate Winslet in Quills, Reese Witherspoon in Walk The Line, and Nicole Kidman's tour de force performance in To Die For. What does this tell you? Either Phoenix is one of cinema's greatest muses or ... Continue Reading
