Warning- from here on out there’s nothing but Ralph in this thread. I have no shame.My reviews on the performances I’ve seen by the one and only Ralph Fiennes in no particular order.
1. Official Secrets.
Really enjoyed him in this film. He was great as Keira Knightley’s legal aid and boy does he look great in glasses.

2.The Duchess.
He’s a right bastard in this and wears wigs. That is all.

3. Kubo and the Two Strings.
Weirdest king I’ve ever seen, but his voice is well suited to the villain of the story.

4. A bigger splash.
He sings, dances and swims naked- what more could I want?

5. The Chumscrubber.
He gets hit on the head, has an epiphany and starts painting dolphins everywhere. This time he swims fully clothed. Relatable.

6. Goblet of Fire.
Honestly, he pulls the no-nose look off better than most would. Perfectly cast as Voldemort and the snake-like characteristics he added to his performance were just
“I can touch you now”. Please do.

7. Curse of the Were-rabbit.
This whole look is honestly hilarious. I can only hope he dressed up like this to get into character when doing the voice over.l

8. Maid in Manhattan.
Proof he should be in more rom coms. I too would break hotel employment rules to dress up and spend time with him. He also has a dog called Rufus which is an important detail.

9. Red Dragon.
Can never go wrong with Ralph as a villain and his dedication to the part by running around naked is appreciated. Part of me wishes he had this tattoo in real life, because that would be awesome.

10. Onegin.
Nice hair, but his character goes from snarky and interesting to sad and mopey.

12. Strange Days.
Top tier look for Ralph here. Great film and concept. A different role to a lot of others he’s done, but very enjoyable.

13. Schindler’s list.
Not sure I can ever bring myself to watch this again. His performance is utterly brilliant and he should have won and Oscar for it. There’s a reason his performance as Amon Goeth is seen as one of the best villains in film of all time.

14. Oscar and Lucinda.
He’s a right sweetie in this. Looks strange with ginger hair, though it does make his eyes look bluer. He’s great opposite Cate Blanchett.

15. The end of the affair.
The important thing to know about this film is that it was pushed from a 15 to an 18 because of how much he gyrated his buttocks in the sex scenes. What. An. Icon.

16. Order of the Phoenix.
He’s back and breathing fire. Love it.

17. In Bruges.
Top 3 performance from him. Is there anything more relatable than beating up a phone then screaming at someone, “you’re an inanimate fucking object!”? I don’t think so.

18. The Reader.
I feel like a lot of people passed this film by. I enjoyed it and the book it’s based on.

19. Clash of the Titans.
Only watched this for Ralph and Mads Mikkelson. No idea what this look is about, but it’s very *long*. At least he plays Hades, rather than Zeus, so there’s that.

20. Skyfall.
Ralph in a suit is a Fienne thing
. Think he’s a great addition to the Daniel Craig Bond films.

21. The Grand Budapest Hotel.
My favourite performance of his and again should’ve won him an Oscar. Utterly charming in purple and I would never leave his hotel if I was a guest there.

If anyone suits voicing a tiger, it’s Ralph.

23. Holmes and Watson.
He was the only good thing about this film and his performance as Moriarty was utterly wasted. He should have been cast in the role in a film that would do him justice.

M? More like mmmmmmmmmm

25. Deathly hallows part one.
Continued excellence from Ralph as Voldie, though I will never know what he’s doing in this bit. Is he straddling him? Hovering? What u doing Ralph?!

26. The Lego Batman movie.
He’s an adorable Lego figure and he’s great as Alfred.

27. Richard III at the Almeida theatre.
Was in awe watching him in this. In pretty much every scene which a limp, hunched back and damaged hand and I was exhausted just watching him. Absolutely brilliant to watch live.

28. Antony and Cleopatra live at the National Theatre.
Saw this on my birthday and he was breathtaking. Pretty sure he had his toenails painted too. Best. Birthday. Ever.

29. Page Eight.
The tension between him and Bill Nighy is wonderful and he’s great as the prime minister. Looks lovely in a tux too.

32. Hail, Caesar!
Out here making everyone hate the sentence “would that it were so simple” since 2016.

33. The English patient.
Saw this a long time ago, so don’t remember much. I like the contrast in the two versions of the character he places.

34. The Miracle Maker.
Haven’t seen this since I was a kid, but know he voice Jesus. If anyone had a voice that would get me to listen and follow him, it’s Ralph.

35. Spider.
I don’t think he says one clear sentence in this, he’s a very mumbly character. He wears 5 shirts which is interesting. Very dirty hands though.

Enjoyed this one. He has an earring and pony tail. Excellent.

Again he was the only reason I watched this. Would happily rule the underworld with him though.

The only one of his directorial works I’ve seen so far. Enjoyed it, he works well with Felicity Jones. Does look a bit like Simon Callow here though.

39. Turks and Caicos.
Couldn’t find a picture of him from this particular one. He’s not it in lots, but he’s great with Rupert Graves.

Again no picture for this one. He plays a great prime minister. Enjoyed him verbally sparring with Bill Nighy and also playing Badminton against Rupert Graves in equal measure.

I’m always gonna love Ralph as Voldemort, it’s just who I am as a person.
