Nixon
For all the unlikelihood of his casting, Anthony Hopkins's performance as Richard Nixon, at bay in the White House just before his Watergate downfall, is a tour de force.
Even Oliver Stone, who is intent on heaping only obloquy on the President, cannot deny him a kind of tragic grandeur.
Nixon plays the tapes in his head and on the machine, and, as he sinks the liquor, the White House seems filled with voices like Prospero's isle - only accusatory, not magical.
When it is over, you have understood the tragedy, perhaps without completely understanding the nature of the man that precipitated it. But it is not without pity.
