Best Edward Norton Movies
-
American History X
"Fight Club" is better than "American History X" as a movie. But for Edward Norton, playing Derek in "American History X" is the best role he has ever had! This movie showcased his talent from the best side, a true talent of an actor, a talent of transformation. This film should be his No. 1.
I agree this film should be on the top of the list. As much as I love Fight Club, I like American History X even more. The meaning of this movie is extremely powerful. Between Norton's transcendent acting and the difficult topic the film tackles, this film becomes one like none other. Truly a spectacular movie.

Fight Club
A very life-changing film, disturbing and starkly brutal, with an amazing ending. A great action thriller!
When Norton pulls the trigger near the end, wow, was everything just a dream? Do we really exist? Are we just living the reflection of the real world? This is the greatest movie ever!
One of the best movies I have ever seen. A must-watch movie. Edward, you are the best...

Primal Fear
This is honestly my favorite movie of all time. I've watched it over and over and could still watch it a hundred more times. Edward stole the show as Aaron/Roy. I've never seen such an amazing portrayal of a character. The fact that he didn't win the Oscar for his role is frankly ridiculous.
Yes, the ending was... oh, I've never seen something like that. And because of this movie, Edward Norton became my favorite actor of all time. It's totally worth watching, not just once or twice! Love it!
This should be #1. Norton gives the most amazing performance I have ever seen, with incredible personality transformations. He was a thousand times better than Cuba Gooding Jr. from Jerry Maguire, and he should have gotten that Oscar.

The Illusionist
Awesome movie! Based on the book. It's a suspense movie that you just can't stop watching.

The Score
Having De Niro and Norton together was the best thing about the movie.

Death to Smoochy

The Incredible Hulk
Although not the strongest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Edward Norton's take on the big green monster was a damn good one. Honestly, I prefer him over Mark Ruffalo any day. I was so upset when they announced that Mark would be replacing Ed. While Mark also does a good job in his performance, I think Ed did a little better and helped make an overall decent Marvel film more enjoyable.
Best Hulk movie and Ed Norton was epic as Hulk in this movie!

25th Hour
This movie made me a big fan of Ed and his chosen movies!
What a great actor he is, second only to Robert De Niro.

The Painted Veil
I agree, very underrated. Amazing acting from the entire cast, but in particular Edward Norton. You sympathized with him but saw his slightly cruel side too. Oh, and he had a perfect English accent the whole time.
This is a remake of the 1957 movie starring Eleanor Parker, called The Seventh Sin.
I only recently saw The Painted Veil on TV. Excellent in every way! Loved it!

Best Edward Norton performance since Fight Club and American History X! Could watch over and over again!
Maybe not as great as Fight Club or American History X, but definitely top 5! Incredible performance!

The Bourne Legacy
Great performance by Edward Norton and everyone else involved. Just a great high-octane action movie overall.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Keeping the Faith
I agree that this movie was very good and should be ranked higher. The only problem to me was that Norton played third wheel to Stiller and Elfman throughout the film.
A movie many missed - what a loss. The movie had all emotions done with true feeling. Triple thumbs up. It should have ranked much higher.
