8.  Robert Downey Jr.-Home For the Holidays

We all forget about that year of the show don’t we? Before he was Iron man, before he was Sherlock, before he was even written off in Hollywood for his drug problems, Robert Downey Jr. joined SNL for a forgettable season. But by the time he was dismissed, he had found his place in movies, playing a punk in Back to School and then as an addict in Less than Zero. But among a host of great performances, Downey is especially good when playing the screw-up, and never better than in Jodie Foster’s Home For The Holidays, as the addict brother of Holly Hunter.
