Dustin Hoffman: Top 10 Performances

7. Rain Man

This is another Levinson outing, and, I won’t lie, a personal favorite in every possible way. For me, it’s Tom Cruise who carries the film as a yuppie who discovers an autistic brother who had been sent away from him as a child. But Hoffman, in his second Oscar-winning role, never shies away from his character, Raymond’s, physicality, which includes an extreme aversion to intimacy. It’s frustrating how Raymond never makes eye contact or like to touch. And it’s fascinating the way Hoffman makes you understand just how close he has gotten to his brother over the course of his movie without ever showing it.
