The first film I saw was Quills. It was released the same year as Gladiator. I didn't realise it was the same actor. He was so different, both physically and as a character. Brilliant in both.

Parenthood. Of course, back then I didn't know it was him.

I saw him first in To Die For, Clay Pigeons and 8mm but Gladiator was the first "big" role.

Hmmm, I guess Parents, although I didn't know who he was at the time. I did know when Inventing the Abbotts came out. The movie was based on a favorite short story of mine, so I was eager to see it. Have to confess, I was much more wrapped up in Billy Crudup's storyline. I thought he and Joanna Going were fabulous on screen together, very believable as a 50s couple.

Sign for me. Gladiator was too complicated of a movie for me back then (I was just 7).

He blew me away the scene at the end where he's talking about the ballpark and he's in charge of everyone. Amazing.

Unsure if this was my first Joaquin Phoenix film. I began to take notice of his acting and his smoldering good looks in "Gladiator. Been a fan ever since.

Saw "Her" with an ex-girlfriend. I loved the movie then, but couldn't go back to it now. But it was a great introduction to the actor. Then I saw "You Were Never Really Here". He's easily one of the best actors out there currently. Though the whole childhood-trauma shtick he has going in a lot of his movies does get old after a while. It begins to seem as though he just takes these roles as a way of showing substitute characters that depict how traumatized he is. It's compelling the first couple of times, but then it becomes pathetic. I enjoyed Joker, but didn't like how his character still had a lot of self-pity and pathetic behaviour going on, even by the time the film was almost over.
