What was Alan Rickman's best role

[JBatmanFan05]

Hans Gruber could be his best, but he was good in every role, like the Irish politician he played in Michael Collins.

[Scott Taylor]

I always felt like his potential was not reached in the movies, even though he was great in everything, and that his true passion was for the stage. Would have loved to see him in a play but alas never had the chance.

He and Gary Oldman are both actors who I can always watch and enjoy.

[Captain Craig]

I think his role in Quigley Downunder is under appreciated. Raw psychopathy.

I was coming to mention this one.
As an aside it would've been cool if the movie had caught on cause I'd have liked more Quigley films with Tom Selleck.

I also like his Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. I know it isn't the most loquacious or grand but it is fun to watch.

I read that he took the Sheriff's role b/c he was given a very free hand with his dialogue

Quigley is one of my favorite all-time movies, and certainly one of my favorite Westerns. IIRC there is not another Western set in Australia. Am I right, or is there one?

I too would have liked more Quigley movies, but that time sadly has passed long ago.

The Man From Snowy River certainly qualifies.
