His talent and wonderful personality will be greatly missed and I for one will be revisiting these movies for years to come. As for the list, I was sort of hoping Jumanji was in the top 5, which was my personal childhood favorite.

I really liked Insomnia from the early 2000's, but too bad it was when he was first spotted drinking on the job which might have been a contributing factor to his suicide.
I enjoyed Insomnia quite a bit, I also liked 24 hour photo. I didn't know about his drinking problem on set, ill have to read into that.
