Monday Movie Meme – The Man who Played Capote!
Monday, February 3, 2014 at 5:54PM 
As the Seattle Seahawks brought home their first Super Bowl victory, the film world said goodbye to Philip Seymour Hoffman – an Oscar winning actor whose fine talent will no longer grace the big screen. The theme for this week’s Monday Movie Meme pays tribute to Hoffman, who was found dead in his apartment on Sunday: The Man who Played Capote.
Share on your blog or in the comments section, movies featuring your most memorable performances by Philip Seymour Hoffman. He does not have to be your favorite actor. Heck, you don’t even need to have liked him or any of his movies – but if there is one that you remember most, I welcome you to share it here, adding to my list for this week’s Capote theme.
Twister
I cannot forget the scene in this tornado movie where Jo’s (Helen Hunt) team hounds her for food. It is a slice of humor in the midst of a disastrous plot. “Dusty,” played by Philip Seymour Hoffman is among her storm chasers leading the pack of persistent requests for a rest stop at Auntie Meg’s place.
Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Having watched the first Hunger Games movie, I was expecting a particular set of characters in the second installment – you know, JLaw, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson and related familiar faces. I was surprised to see Philip Seymour Hoffman pop up on screen, as the designer of the Capitol’s fight-to-the-death competitions.
Given Philip Seymour Hoffman’s long film career that spanned over two decades, it is likely that I’ve seen him in more movies than what I’ve listed here. However, these are the only two with my most memorable performances by him that I’ve watched to date.
