Top/Bottom 5 Movie Roles - Johnny Depp

Here is where I pick a random actor or actress's Top 5 and Bottom 5 Movie Roles (I assume the post title gave that away).  This won't necessarily be the chosen actor or actress's best roles, but a combination of their best and my favorite.  In other words, if there is a tie, I'll go with my favorite.  Also, I won't actually be ranking them, they will be in a random order.  Lastly, this isn't these actor's or actress's best movies, but their best characters.  Let's get started:


Top 5
Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean - We all know that the first time he played this plucky pirate, we all fell in love, he even redefined how we think of pirates.  It's too bad that Hollywood had to go and ruin this character by making so many sequels.
Raoul DukeFear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Johnny running around while so drugged up that he imagines everyone turning into lizard people?  Yes please.
George JungBlow - I still feel like this is the only movie where he really tried to act and he couldn't have done a better job.
Edward ScissorhandsEdward Scissorhands - This was the first time that Tim Burton and Johnny teamed up and it was magic.  Johnny gave us a glimpse of how quirky he can be and you pretty much see a little of Edward in all of his characters today.
SandsOnce Upon a Time in Mexico - This choice might be a little strange, but I loved the scene where he tried a Mexican dish and loved it so much that he went back into the kitchen and shot the chef so that no one else could ever eat that meal.

Bottom 5
Frank TupeloThe Tourist - Such garbage.  Not only was this movie a piece of shit, but Johnny's character couldn't have sucked more, especially the fact that it was clear that he and Angelina Jolie had zero chemistry, making this movie unwatchable.
KempThe Rum Diary - They tried to market this as Johnny reprising his role from Fear and Loathing, but it couldn't have been further from the truth.  What a letdown.
RouxChocolat - Did you know that until Pirates of the Caribbean, this was Johnny's highest-grossing movie?  Yeah, I don't know a single person who has ever seen it.
Gene WatsonNick of Time - I saw this movie a long time ago and even as a dumb kid, I knew this movie sucked.
TontoThe Lone Ranger - Dear Johnny, you may think that being 1/36th Native American makes it okay to play an Indian in a movie, but it's not.  You should have played the Lone Ranger, not that that would have made this movie any good.
