Always liked him.
Sid and Nancy was GREAT!! Will never forget the final scene of him dancing with the little kids to K C and the sunshine band.
Priceless.

Oldman in the Batman movies as Gordon really showed how intrepid he was. I can’t believe the quiet dignity, maturity, and righteousness he displayed in that role, after some villainous roles in the 90s. Just an outstanding actor.

Just read he’s already apologized. sigh
He's really fun to watch when he goes off the reservation. Two performances that come to mind is the cop in "The Professional," and Zorg in "The Fifth Element."
