Tonight I'd like to showcase my favorite roles of the man who's been my favorite actor since 2003! John Christopher Depp II by my count has been in over 50 movies. He is such a masterful artist. He can be zany or terrifying, whimsical or heartbreaking. I was debating on whether to my top five or my top ten favorite roles, but I think I've decided on Top Five as I'll really have to think hard about it. So, without further adieu, my eternal #MCM, Johnny Depp.
1. Sam from Benny & Joon
This is my very favorite role of his. If you haven't seen this movie, you should check it out! You won't be able to help but smile. In my mind right now I'm picturing the scene in the diner where he makes breadsticks dance. I've found it for you guys. Please watch, it's my absolute favorite from the movie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxTiMb32_FE
2. Captain Jack Sparrow
I won't lie, this is really the first role that got me to pay attention to Johnny. This is where the obsession started. This character got a lot of other people's attention. This role landed Johnny his first Academy Award Nomination. Captain Jack Sparrow is kind of like my spirit animal. I had a beta named Captain Jack. I called him CJ for short. And I also share something with the Captain and Johnny himself:
3. Ichabod Crane from Sleepy Hollow
Look at that picture! This is probably one of my favorite Johnny looks overall. He is just so good looking in this movie. He's also really funny! He does a really great scaredy cat. Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite animated stories from childhood and he really brought the character to life. Man, I really need to watch this movie. It's really been too long. When I first saw it, I think I watched it about every other day for a month.
4. Edward Scissorhands
This movie. This movie just breaks your heart. I'm sad even having looked at pictures from the film. Since Halloween is coming up, I reckon I'll watch it. Heart in hand and fist full of tissues.
5. Whitey Bulger in Black Mass
Now, this is his latest movie. I've only seen it once so far (though I would already like to see it again). I was very impressed with him in this movie because I mostly completely forgot who he was. He didn't look much like himself and I was just lost in the character. I think this is one of his better roles, acting-wise. He really showcases how absolutely talented he is. Plus, the whole movie I was being driven insane by his blue contacts.
There you have it! My top five favorite roles of my favorite actor! I'm also going to share a website here that I have always used for all things Johnny: http://www.deppimpact.com/ Enjoy, loves. Goodnight!
