Come on. Hoffman made loads of movies and IS a great actor. Give credit where credit is due.....distilling his works down to 2 flicks while forgetting Little Big Man, Midnight Cowboy, etc., just isn't fair to the judged or the judges.
Take the challenge... almost 30 years apart and you will be amused. I never said I didn't like his work but, if you look at these two movies, back to back, you'll get a giggle
