I recommend watching "Love Liza" while huffing remote control airplane fuel.

@1 Yes! I came here to recommend Happiness. An overlooked future star (well regularity working actor)-filled gem. Perhaps not for a first date, though you'd really get to know where your new aquantence stands on many issue and if s/he shares your sick sense of humor.

Recommended snack: sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

Though he isn’t the star, his performance in Magnolia is finely wrought and holds the emotional strings of the film together beautifully. He is missed ....

Flawless 1999: loved loved LOVED his drag queen character, Rusty. Totally blew De Niro away in acting. So wish he hadn't died!!! :'(

I really loved him in The Savages and his brief turn in The Talented Mr Ripley was pretty fantastic.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - Hoffman and Lumet, both masters, both amazing (and another vote for Synecdoche, NY).

Agree with 10: Hoffman's performance in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" was pretty great. His character was the antithesis of Tom Ripley's "damaged goods" character.
