Every Philip Seymour Hoffman Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Released in North America as "Pirate Radio," The Boat that Rocked features Hoffman at the head of a hefty ensemble which includes Nick Frost, Bill Nighy and Kenneth Branagh. Set in the 60s, the film follows a group of DJs who work in an illegal radio station.

Hoffman steals the show as The Count, the station's head DJ and the sole American on the team. He carries with him a spark of tenacity and a passion for music that is frequently palpable. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie is devoid of Hoffman's enthusiasm, and the whole thing ends up an emotionless dud by the time of the final credits.
