The 2009 adaptation of the Roald Dahl novel follows the Fox family as they try to avoid being killed by overzealous farmers, and delves into themes of community and fairness. Fox is undoubtedly a high point for stop-motion and animated films in general. The second Wes Anderson film on this list, Fantastic Mr. Fox Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Dafoe in particular received acclaim for his acting, and rightly so.
Empathetic and incredibly real, The Florida Project dives right into parts of America that most Hollywood execs don’t even know exist, and was rightly lauded for giving a voice to the working poor and left behind who make up vast swathes of the American population.
Dafoe plays a grumpy but ultimately sympathetic manager of the motel in which most of the film’s action takes place, and gives a stellar performance that shows both heart and grit. This well-regarded indie flick helped to launch the career of Cocaine Bear star Brooklynn Prince, and delves into poverty in the U.S., giving an unflinching account of both the hardships and joy that can be found in less-than-ideal situations.
