I like Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is Beginners or maybe The Impossible. I regretted watching T2: Trainspotting because it was all kinds of disappointing.

I adore Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his other than Moulin Rouge (duh) is Down With Love or maybe Beginners. I haven't seen T2: Trainspotting because I'm still recovering from the dead baby in the first film.

I love Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is Velvet Goldmine or maybe Beginners. I haven't seen T2: Trainspotting because the toilet diving scene in the first movie scarred me for life.

I love Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is Down With Love, or maybe The Ghostwriter (I also love him in Star Wars). I haven't seen Trainspotting 2 because I'm not interested. I wish I could have seen McGregor onstage as Sky Masterson and as Iago.

I love Ewan McGregor because of MR. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is Trainspotting (sexy dirty) or maybe Star Wars because he does what he can under the circumstances. I haven't seen T2: Trainspotting because it may not be showing around here anymore and I'm a bit "meh" about gen-xers in movies pontificating about why the Internet/millennials/Facebook are garbage. Like, yes, we all know.

I miss the amazing daring of '90s/early 2000s Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is Velvet Goldmine or maybe Shallow Grave. I am ignoring T2 because of the name alone.

I will always have a soft spot for Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is Trainspotting or maybe Nightwatch (I used to really like this movie, haven't seen it in years). I am curious about T2: Trainspotting because I'm about the same age as the characters so I've aged with them.

I like Ewan McGregor (but I no longer love him after he screwed up in adapting the brilliant American Pastoral). My favorite performance of his other than Moulin Rogue! (duh! for real) is Down with Love or maybe Shallow Grave. I missed T2: Trainspotting because although I admire the original, it's not an easy film to stomach (see previous entries regarding the toilet scene and the dead baby), and so I'd rather catch the follow-up on the small screen. Plus, I am also sceptical as to whether it needed a sequel.

I adore Ewan McGregor. My favourite performance of his other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is The Ghost Writer or possibly Down With Love. I refuse to se T2: Trainspotting because it damn well didn't need a sequel.

Happy birthday Ewan!

I always fall in love with Ewan McGregor [in each new movie]. My favorite performance of his, other than Moulin Rouge! (meh, am I the only one who didn't care for it???), is I Love You, Phillip Morris or maybe Big Fish. I didn't see T2: Trainspotting because I never saw the first one.

I love Ewan doing sweet and romantic, and gay doesn't hurt either. A boy can dream...

I'm married to Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is Trainspotting or maybe Beginners. I won't go see T2: Trainspotting because a) it's unnecessary and b) it will make me feel old.

March 31, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterPeggy Sue

I still love him in Star Wars best?? Not because his performances are his best ever or because the films are particularly good, but his charisma and relatively unscathed line deliveries (as opposed to the other leads) are an excellent instance of someone saving a nearly unwatchable franchise. Yes, I'm one of these fans who still wants him to be in an Obi Wan standalone movie.

March 31, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterCaroline

I ENJOY Ewan McGregor. My fave performance of his is Trainspotting or maybe the Ghost Writer. I have not seen T2 because I rarely go to the theater and am waiting for DVD/redbox.

March 31, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAnonny

OMG EWAN MCGREGOR. I LOVED YOUR WORK IN SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN

Nobody mentioned Young Adam? Well, I've got to do it then: Young Adam.

I adore Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is Down With Love or maybe I Love You Philip Morris. I liked (but not overwhelmingly) T2: Trainspotting because it showed the evolution of male bodies and friendships.

April 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterGlenn Dunks

I like ...Ewan MacGregor...favorite performance..."Down With Love"...I have no interest in the trainspotting who cares at this point sequel- but would love to see him doing another musical

April 1, 2017 | Unregistered Commenterjaragon

I really love Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh-WHY WASN'T HE NOMINATED????) is Down with Love or maybe (strike the maybe) I love you, Phillip Morris/Big Fish. I haven't seen T2: Trainspotting because I'm still recovring from watching the first one.

April 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSonja

I love Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is Beginners or maybe Down with Love. I won't see T2: Trainspotting because I have no interest in it.

I LOVE Ewan McGregor. My favorite performance of his is other than Moulin Rouge! (duh) is I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS or maybe DOWN WITH LOVE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE T2: Trainspotting because IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF FUN.

April 1, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterGeorge P.

Just a shout-out to Ewan's other overlooked films: The Pillow Book, Brassed Off, Little Voice,
Emma
and A Life Less Ordinary. I'm probably the only one who loves T2: Trainspotting but then again I may just be one of those who'll watch any film that features Ewan. I don't have something in mind for a Ewan McGregor best performance, but Ghost Writer was quite good.
