Posted: 10/5/05 at 10:38pmHe's wonderful in FRIDA. I thought he deserved the Tony for FIDDLER.

WAIT -
Who was he in Boogie Nights?
I feel like I remember...but I don't...

Posted: 10/5/05 at 11:17pmHe was doing drugs and loving his mix tape while his Chinese boyfriend was setting off fire crackers. Great scene.

Posted: 10/6/05 at 12:11amYou know...all I remember from Boogie Nights is Joanna Gleason. In fact..that may have been the reason I saw the movie in the first place!

He is SO GOOD in "Not Without My Daughter". Scary.
I also loved him in "Maverick"...It's a guilty pleasure.

Posted: 10/6/05 at 2:27pmJoanna played Dirk's mother. Love Alfred Molina...he was perfect in the scene in 'Chocolat' when he climbs into the shop window at the end of the film. He was a wonderful Jud Fry in 'Oklahoma' in London yonks ago.

Posted: 10/6/05 at 4:12pmOMG - 'Prick Up Your Ears'. I love that film. Molina and Oldman were brilliant and the script was excellent. Just as if Orton had written it himself. On reflection, this is perhaps his best performance. Thanks, The8re for reminding me.

I'm seeing him this coming Sunday in THE CHERRY ORCHARD, with Annette Benning - really looking forward to it.
My favorite movie with him in it is ENCHANTED APRIL - love the whole thing (especially Joan Plowright!)

Loved him in Fiddler. We actually invited him to come see our community production of it, of course he didn't, but we saved a seat for him nonetheless- as sort of a joke.

Posted: 3/14/06 at 9:41pmMolina is probably a very good actor but he was horribly miscast in the FIDDLER revival.

Posted: 3/15/06 at 12:15amHe was so brilliant in Prick Up Your Ears that for years I couldn't look at him without thinking of that film. What a memorable performance.
