It's because he doesn't act as ironman. The character he plays is the same as his real life character... That's why he's perfect for that role. Same as how Tom hardy is perfect for his roles. It's a good way to make good films out of actors that aren't great.
Then it is no performance, and it should not be listed. You don't perform of "being yourself" with no difference between yourself and the character. That's not acting, that's a biography. A home video.
It's is worse than this, a comic showed a few years ago that Robert Downey Junior is the fake identity Tony Stark uses to play Iron Man in the movies, though if he is iron man.
His performance in "The Judge" with Robert Duvall is an Honourable mention in my opinion. The way that this incredibly talented actor has used his life's hardships to his advantage is so inspiring.
Iron Man should've been #1, I mean, he looks like Tony Stark, he is as cool as Tony Stark and he behaves like Tony Stark... Robert Downey Jr. doesn't play Iron Man, he IS Iron Man.
actually, when the movies came out, marvel started changing some characters appearances, so that they look more like the actors, one good example is that before Samuel Jackson did Nick Fury, Nick was white, so Robert doesn't look like tony, tony looks like him
Dhenox312 The black nick fury is actually the son of the white nick fury, there's a long complicated story about it, it's true they did make the black one look like Samuel L Jackson before even asking him to be in the films.
I discovered RDJ as an actor thanks to this 'Chaplin' movie many years ago. And I fell in love both with him and the movie. I'm in awe of his talent. One of the best on Earth.
Robert Downey Jr. SINGLEHANDEDLY MADE Iron Man a POPULAR character...a character that I had NEVER EVEN KNOWN EXISTED before, into an ICON. THAT'S a good actor if I'd ever seen one. Also, IRON MAN's LIFE = Robert Downey Jr.'s more than one way as well XD
***** I still thought Iron man was the big hated beast who terrorized the populace until I saw the movies... You know, the original iron man from the books?
***** I am sorry, but just not everyone reads comic books or whatever. Ironman is now popular to the whole populace thanks to the Ironman movies, and RDJ
My favorite is Chaplin ... he SHOULD have gotten the Oscar for that one! I remember thinking the first time I saw Less Than Zero that he had to have gone through detox at some time and my mom who had been an alcoholic saw the same thing I did ... She commented that if he didn’t clean up his act he wouldn’t last long but unfortunately she wouldn’t live long enough to see the magnificent man and actor he became.
+Stormsquad go to the tallest building in your town...actually no, your state, and climb to the roof of that building. Once you get there, step to the edge and jump. You might be stupid enough to believe that you'll fly.
+ThatIsDopeBro Well if not watching every movie in the world and wasting my life on movies is gonna make me the stupidest person on the planet, then I'm quite satisfied then.
Robert Downey, Jr. is such a multi-talented actor who can play a multitude of on-screen characters. He's long overdue for an Oscar and I hope to see him win one real soon.
Chaplin was one of the best performances I have ever seen. Downey was robbed when he didn't win that Oscar. Glad to see you correctly chose it for #1. Less Than Zero was heartbreaking too.
Chaplin is one among my most favorite films. I haven't watched Iron Man, I don't like Superhero movies. Chaplin is one movie I watch again and again. The first scene itself where Chaplin in his dressing room is removing his make up alone is breath taking.
+Hellopleesh I agree with you. Iron Man is terrific and everything, but Chaplin, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, The Judge and Fur are also quite AMAZING... I agree that Chaplin is at Number 1 but Saints should have been put on here...

I remember when I saw Chaplin for the first time and I was really skeptical of Robert Downey Jr playing Charlie. I'm not sure why I was so skeptical but for some reason I didn't think it felt right. But then I actually saw the movie and was totally blown away.
There has never been a better Marvel casting then Mr. Downy Jr. as Tony Stark other than Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. He is Tony Stark and that role gave him his career back after he dropped off the map for a long time.
I was getting worried for a sec when Chaplin wasn't showing up as the count down went on and on. I honestly thought Tony Stark or Sherlock was going to be #1. I'm happy Chaplin made the top spot :)
Back to school was the first movie I saw with him and although it was a small role he was the character I loved the most. Charlie Bartlett was the second movie and I didn’t realize it was the same actor but his performance was the best thing of the movie. Then in Sherlock Holmes it hit me: that’s the actor I loved as a child! And the next movie I saw was Chaplin and it was when I realized he’s not only my favorite actor of all times but also one of the best actors alive. 10 years later (and I have pretty much seen every movie he was in) I still think he is. I love you 3000 RDJ!
For the way he portrayed Chaplin in that movie, it certainly deserves to be no. 1. Directed by Richard Attenborough, it is a must-see for all young (and old) R. D. J. fans who haven't seen it already.

Most recognizable role, especially for today's audience, but not the best acted. Even though Chaplin received mixed reviews and was a commercial failure, Robert Downey Jr's performance was universally critically acclaimed, and he was nominated for an Academy Award, a BAFTA (which he also won), and a Golden Globe
MortyBoy15 It's still baffling. I mean, I know that I'm biased because I love superheroes and fiction in general and despise non-fiction. But he IS Iron Man. No one else could possibly take on the role and do as good a job. With Chaplin, he was a real person, so it just seems easier than a fictional character. Whatever. It's not like this is the first time I've disagreed. I mean, Jade wasn't sexiest video game character.
Portraying Tony Stark/Iron Man was a commercial success in RDJ's CV, but definitively not his best acting, in my opinion. Really well deserved number 1 with Chaplin, I'm more fond of his early movies as well
grandpagohan1 You think it is easier to play a real character? When you play a fictional character, you can base his/her personality and mannerism much on the situations and given circumstances, or you can invent some of it yourself. When you play a real person, you know that he/she has existed and that the critics will butcher you if you play him/her inaccurately, and also if you don't look like the real person. You really have to research and study the real person to find out how he/she looked, walked, talked, and behaved, and then you have to make his/her life be illuminated to the audience. In addition, Charlie Chaplin was a silent movie legend, a genre that is not as normal to see today as back then, and he did those slapsticks and other comedic elements so incredibly well that it is very difficult to imitate; it is almost like trying to dance like Michael Jackson. Playing Charlie Chaplin is a very physical challenge in addition of finding his personality and mannerism. Colin Farrell's performance as Alexander the Great for example was panned because the critics and historians thought his performance was almost pure fiction and that Oliver Stone had skipped so many important parts of Alexander's life that his life was not illuminated at all. And in my country Norway, the movie "Kon-Tiki" spawned lots of controversy because Thor Heyerdahl's second-in-command in the film did not look like the real person at all, neither in appearance nor in personality Iron Man is Robert Downey jr's most recognizable role, but it is definitely not his most challenging role, and I think several other actors could had played him, it is just that Robert Downey jr. happened to get selected and now people cannot think of any other actor.

His performance in "The Judge" with Robert Duvall is an Honourable mention in my opinion. The way that this incredibly talented actor has used his life's hardships to his advantage is so inspiring.

When you play a real person, you know that he/she has existed and that the critics will butcher you if you play him/her inaccurately, and also if you don't look like the real person. You really have to research and study the real person to find out how he/she looked, walked, talked, and behaved, and then you have to make his/her life be illuminated to the audience.
In addition, Charlie Chaplin was a silent movie legend, a genre that is not as normal to see today as back then, and he did those slapsticks and other comedic elements so incredibly well that it is very difficult to imitate; it is almost like trying to dance like Michael Jackson. Playing Charlie Chaplin is a very physical challenge in addition of finding his personality and mannerism.
Colin Farrell's performance as Alexander the Great for example was panned because the critics and historians thought his performance was almost pure fiction and that Oliver Stone had skipped so many important parts of Alexander's life that his life was not illuminated at all. And in my country Norway, the movie "Kon-Tiki" spawned lots of controversy because Thor Heyerdahl's second-in-command in the film did not look like the real person at all, neither in appearance nor in personality
Iron Man is Robert Downey jr's most recognizable role, but it is definitely not his most challenging role, and I think several other actors could had played him, it is just that Robert Downey jr. happened to get selected and now people cannot think of any other actor.
Anybody watched "Chances Are" movie???
Here!
He is so adorable in that movie!! I was madly in love with him from then on.
i've seen it and its amazing
Yes!! You can never forget his Pre-Iron Man roles in the 80s and early 90s!!
Yep first thing I saw him in, absolutely hilarious and cybil shepherd... Yum!
Update this. His best performance was Howard Potts.
RDJ is one of the best actors of our generation and is still somehow underrated
Just saw Endgame. RDJ is Iron Man
