The Most Truly Effective 5 Dustin Hoffman Films

Though many viewers remember Dustin Hoffman for his comedic roles in films like I Heart Huckabees and Meet the Fockers, his career has far more facets than just those characters. Bursting onto the scene in the late 1960s, he quickly established himself as an immensely talented, spirited young actor unafraid to be the butt of a film’s joke. His top five films of all time can now be enjoyed on satellite television:

  1. American Buffalo: David Mamet’s plays have often translated well to the screen, and American Buffalo is no exception. Paired with the perfectly-cast Dennis Franz, Hoffman demonstrates how well the edgy Mamet material suits his style. This 1996 film can be found on the Independent Film Channel on television.
  2. Tootsie: In this film, Hoffman gave struggling actors hope for breaking through in the industry. Tootsie, one of the funniest and most original movies you’ll ever see, is perhaps best known for Hoffman’s cross-dressing performance as the title character. With Jessica Lange and Teri Garr co-starring, Hoffman’s portrayal of Dorothy is both hilarious and engaging. Directed by Sydney Pollack, Tootsie is a modern classic featured in HD on Turner Classic Movies.

The Hindi movie industry, popularly known as Bollywood, is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The golden age of Bollywood was during the 1940s and 1960s, with numerous films being produced and major box office hits like “Awaara” (1951) and “Kaagaz Ke Pool” (1959). This success led to an increased demand for movies, allowing the Hindi film industry to dominate the market and paving the way for other regional industries like Tollywood, Kollywood, and Mollywood.

The first Indian sound film, “Alam Ara,” was released by the Hindi film industry in 1931 and was a sensational hit. Many Bollywood film producers emerged during the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, including Kamal Amrohia and Vijay Bhatt. The industry provided a lucrative career for stars like Dev Anand, Dilip Kumar, Guru Dutt, Raj Kapoor, and actresses such as Vyjayanthimala, Nargis, Meena Kumari, Waheeda Rahman, and Nutan.

The 1970s saw a shift in Bollywood film production, with experimentation in various aspects of filmmaking, such as actors, directors, cameramen, choreographers, and writers.
