Barfly is probably my fav Rourke performance. He put his whole body into that one.
His late 90's cameos were fantastic. The 2 minutes he had in The Pledge, blew Nicholson out of the water.
The deleted scene from Thin Red Line as well.
Too bad about the plastic surgery obsession.
I just think what might have been if he took the part of Butch Coolidge that Tarantino offered him.
