O.K., so it doesn't look like him, especially for those of us old enough to remember him in the 80's, but the talent is still there. My first memory of Mickey Rourke(M.R. from now on) was in Francis Ford Coppola's " Rumble Fish ". I love this movie, and it had black and white film with colour decades before Sin City. My early memories of M.R. were all good; " Diner " by Barry Levinson, " Pope of Greenwich Village ", " 9 and a half weeks ", "Angel Heart ", and " White Sands ".
Unfortunately the 90's weren't so good, and let's be honest, if I never see any of these movies again it would be too soon; " Johnny Handsome ", " Wild Orchid ", " Harley Davidson...", and " Double Team "-especially this one, who would ever want to be in afilm with J.C. Van Damme and Dennis Rodman????
But then came the Ressurection of M.R.,with fine performances in the following; " The Animal Factory ", " Once Upon a Time in Mexico ", " Man on Fire ",and the excellent " Sin City ".
So, what does everyone think, what are his best roles/movies, what are his worst roles/movies? IMO I think it's great to see him back, after " Sin City " I can see him go from strength to strength.
Hit me with your opinions people, I can handle the truth!!!!

I haven't seen Sin City yet.
I'm quite fond of his performance in Spun.
It's great to see an actor like Mickey Rourke disappear of our screens...
