Matt Dillon saying the most famous line of the film, "Let's do it for Johnny, man. We'll do it for Johnny!" always leaves me cracking up. As bad as The Outsiders is, the hammy acting and the high amount of cheesiness are too much. But Matt Dillon shines, making me forget about all of the negatives. He, as Dallas Winston, is the only one capable of expressing his feelings like a human being, making for an endearing character. Hence, it's an Oscar-worthy performance.

Tex is among the top three films of Matt Dillon's career. When the two high school girls saw Tex at the mall and then walked away, one of them said, "God, he is so cute." It's true. At age 18, there's no question Matt Dillon was one of the best-looking young actors in Hollywood history. More importantly, he could act. It was all too easy for him.

It's about time: Matt Dillon is awarded an Oscar nomination. He's special, and it's easily one of the best performances of his career. What makes it so good is how he's submerged into his character of a seemingly racist police officer who isn't in fact racist, troubled, or psychotic; he's just a human being putting on a front. When the revelation comes, it's easy to have some respect for him.

Similar to Body Heat but much hotter, Wild Things is a steamy, stylish neo-noir thriller with terrific performances. Wild Twists sounds more like it because there's an endless supply of them. On the other hand, the cinematography is top-notch, bringing the most out of the Floridian ambience. Matt Dillon is absolutely fantastic. It's one of my favorite performances in his oeuvre.

Chalk up Mr. Wonderful as one of the best movies featuring Matt Dillon. He's spectacularly good. Annabella Sciorra, who lights up the room in every scene she appears in, matches her co-star minute for minute. They're excellent when together and excellent when not together. Do I think Mr. Wonderful is a '10' picture? Yes, I do.

One of the most freakishly talented actors to come out of the 80's, Matt Dillon is why Drugstore Cowboy works. The simplicity of the moral story lies in Matt Dillon's acting. That is, his face may appear unconvincing, but he finds a way to make his character appealing. In short, Drugstore Cowboy is a superb Matt Dillon picture.

Kansas works the best whenever Matt Dillon appears because of his magnetic personality; otherwise, the movie has nothing. There are similarities between Doyle Kennedy and Fred Frenger of Miami Blues as they're of the same cloth: engaging, dominating, and personable yet eccentric and psychopathic.

Matt Dillon was fourteen years old when he made his screen debut. The legend is he didn't actually want or expect to be cast in the movie but only auditioned so he could skip school. Imagine how many great films would've been lost if he wasn't discovered. Now, there's no question of Matt Dillon's talent despite his zero acting experience. He's largely the reason why this one sees the light of the day for anyone curious enough to go that far back in his career.

Matt Dillon...the director? To date, it's the only film he had ever done which is an auspicious endeavor and a good entry into the neo-noir genre. Shot on location in Cambodia and Thailand, it's also strange and unique but, more importantly, atmospheric. On the other hand, Matt Dillon turns in a solid performance.
