The Greatest Dustin Hoffman Roles Throughout The Years

By John Roberts


It is easier said than done to make a list of the best Dustin Hoffman films of all time. This distinguished actor has been starring in amazing movies all the back to the sixties. He continues to star in great roles to this day, and his catalog of films is something for young actors to aspire to.

While everyone has their own favorites, this article will list my top 5 favorite Dustin Hoffman movies.

The first movie I will mention is one of his first films, and that of course, The Graduate. Not only was this a great movie, but the incredibly appropriate song "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel was featured in this iconic film.

One movie that starred Dustin Hoffman which I absolutely loved was Runaway Jury. I normally do not like films regarding judicial subject manner, but this is just a great film. This movie also stars Racheil Weisz, Gene Hackman and John Cusack.

Another fantastic film that shows off Hoffman's versatility is none other than Tootsie. In this movie, Hoffman plays an actor who disguises himself as a woman to get a role in a major soap opera. This movie also stars Jessica Lange.

One movie that is fun for the whole family and happens to star Dustin Hoffman is Hook. This Peter Pan adaptation was directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg and stars Robin Williams as Peter Pan.

One film that I can highly recommend is Runaway Jury. Hoffman stars as a hard working, honest lawyer who takes on a firearms company whose guns were used in the killing of the defendant's husband. Meanwhile, the jury is being tampered to affect the outcome.

Hopefully there are one or more films on this list of Dustin Hoffman films which you have yet to see.
