1. Chaplin, 1992
It can be said that Robert Downey Jr. is famous, and it is also the only film in which Downey has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor so far, but unfortunately he did not win that year. The film shows the creative process and emotional experience of a generation of comedy film masters in a narrative way that intersects time and space, and delicately depicts the tragic inner world of this comedic genius who has created many classic works on the screen. The film was directed by acting star Robert E. Lee. Downey starred in the role of Chaplin, Anthony. Hopkins plays the writer who wrote his biography. There are also many acting stars joining in, and the cast is strong. is a must-see biographical film about Chaplin's spiritual world.

The film is very elaborate in the depiction of royal luxury, everywhere you can see the pearl tower jade, painting Fangxuan Palace, extreme luxury, won the 68th Academy Awards Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.
3. The Blind Walker, 2006
A rare classic drug-telling film paired with "Hell Detective" Keanu Reeves, some elements of the film may be derived from the 1997 Robert Downey Jr. drug incident. The film mainly describes the near future, when an anti-drug agent participates in the investigation of a new drug, but he becomes addicted to drugs, and as a result, he loses his identity.
4. The Saints' Guide, 2006
Tito (Robert Downey Jr.) is a well-known writer in Los Angeles. After fifteen years of separation from his family, he finally embarked on the road home that he had been escaping. 1980s, Queens, Astoria, New York. The young Tito (Shea LaBeouf) has had a difficult time. His quarrels and ruptures with his family, his loyalty and betrayal with his girlfriend Laurie (Melanie Diaz). He watched his friends leave him forever, one by one, either on drugs or in prison. Tito has been trying to keep himself unharmed, nirvana in the pain of affection, race, loyalty, sex, and violence. Gradually, Tito began to believe that the power from God would keep him alive. The film is based on the personal autobiography of director Tito Montier.
5. The Zodiac, 2007
One of the world's ten high-IQ movies, Downey plays an addict in the movie and is also a workaholic, close to obsession with the zodiac killer. This film, which is positioned as a thriller by most mainstream media, is quite different from traditional detective films: it is a detective film with no conclusions. The two detectives directly involved in the front line of the incident in the film, as well as the two investigative reporters of the "New York Times", have decided to make a devastating mark on their careers and even their private lives since they entered the incident and became obsessed with it. That's what the film really wants to tell.
6. Tropical Thunder, 2008
Downey actually plays a black brother Kirk Lazarus soldier in the film. "Tropical Thunder" shows a dislocation of time and space, you can still see this film as a Vietnam War movie, more to provide a deranged environment, so that the actors can play freely, incredible is the biggest charm, the film is more full of comedy, full of hilarious plot.
7, Soloist, 2009
"Soloist" obviously belongs to the "Olympic bid" of the "courtship of the judges", although it is not possible to judge the merits of the film based on the cliché of the story, but the problem with "Soloist" is that it wants to deal with too many problems, such as poverty, unemployment, mental illness, friendship between two men and the power of music, but everything is shallow, but the superb acting skills of Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Fox make up for some deficiencies.
8. "Expected Date of Delivery", 2010
Todd Phillips is a mediocre comedy. The pairing of Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifnarkis is the film's unexpected favorite pleasure, while the rest is lackluster. Downey's well-behaved good man figure balances Zack's comic-style exaggerated performances, and they are really a good pair. There are many laughable passages in this story, and mainland film fans jokingly call this the foreign version of "People on the Road".
9. "Judge Daddy", 2014
This year, it is too difficult not to be misled by the plot summary, and I thought it was a suspense film, but I didn't expect it to be a completely warm film. The director had no intention of focusing on the "truth", and even in the end, he did not say whether it was the father who killed the person. The object of the film is not the case but the father's love, probably because men are always more accustomed to hiding their emotions, which highlights the preciousness of the true feelings in the courtroom. Sugar Ni's crying scene can only be described in just four words, as if the tears that can't help falling when peeling an onion, the precision of the performance makes this clichéd story that lacks freshness add a little vitality.
10. "Sherlock Holmes" series, 2009, 2012
Regarding Sherlock Holmes, "Sherlock" is the best TV series, and "Sherlock Holmes" is the best movie, the two are not in conflict, and there is no substitute for it. I have watched the English, Chinese, and Cantonese versions of these two films no less than ten times before and after. High IQ and not dull, occasionally come to a little humor, come to a little bit of basic feelings, very suitable for big guys to watch a good movie together.
Some people think that Iron Man made Iron Man, not Downey who made Iron Man. The implication is probably that Downey's other iron man movies are not very good, but after watching the above movies, I believe it will definitely change.
