6. Eddie Poole - 8MM
Eight Millimetre, directed by Joel Schumacher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker, takes a dark look into the sadistic, underground world of snuff movies. Starring Nicolas Cage as a private investigator, Gandolfini plays Eddie Poole a talent scout for a sick and perverse pornography ring. While a minor role in the film as a whole, 8MM is very underrated for its impact in shining a light on the depth of a very real, incredibly sinister and seldom examined part of society. For that and the strength of Gandolfinis performance in s very difficult subject matter, 8MM deserves to be on this list.
