My Five Favourite Films: Ray Liotta

A name you recognize? Maybe.
A face you've seen before? Definitely.
But you can't quite place him, right?

Most often cast as the "charming" bad guy, Ray Liotta is one of Hollywood's most underrated actors. He's been in dozens of fantastic films, yet somehow managed to remain out of the public spotlight for most of his career. He's given some outstanding performances, and I, for one, believe he deserves more recognition for them. So, here is my effort to make you more aware of an actor named Ray Liotta. Now, though I Iimited my list to only five choices, there are many more Liotta films that are worth watching. I'd encourage you to check out this Ray website for more details: The Ray Liotta Connection

5.) Copland (1997)

"Bein' right is not a bulletproof vest, Freddy."

4.) Identity (2003)

"When I was going up the stairs, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, I wish, I wish he'd go away."

3.) Field of Dreams (1988)

"If you build it, he will come."

2.) Heartbreakers (2001)

"No more conning! No more! If you're gonna be my wife, you're gonna live a respectable life, chopping cars."

1.) Goodfellas (1990)

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster."

  1. Ray Liotta is one seriously awesome actor, and so underrated it's criminal!!!!

    All the movies you have listed are some great Ray Liotta movies, and show Ray Liotta as the versatile actor he is!!!!

    Ray Liotta, in whatever role he is cast to play in his movies, always delivers EVERY single time, without exception!!!!

    Ray Liotta DOES deserve more recognition as an actor, he's just one of the most talented actors around in my humble opinion!!!! He's also one of my all time favourite actors too!!!!

    Thanks for the mention of my Ray Liotta website by the way, appreciate you taking the time to do that. The website is dedicated to Ray Liotta, and is also dedicated to supporting/promoting Ray Liotta too.
