'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' (2003)


Quick, name Johnny Depp's only Oscar nomination to date. That's right, it took the most commercial role of his career for the Academy to recognize him. Buried under kerchief, blousy shirt, and the make-up of a heavy metal fashion victim, Depp bobs and weaves his way through the big, busy Jerry Bruckheimer production as if he stumbled in from his own private movie. His high seas con man-with-a-heart-of-tarnished- stolen-gold keeps the swashbuckling adventure delightfully off-balance as he mumbles, stumbles and sways like a punch-drunk fighter navigating an obstacle course. Depp confessed that he partially modeled the performance on Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, and word has it that Richards will play his father in the upcoming sequel.
