WeAreMovieGeeks have posted up a list of Gary Oldman’s Best Performances and Sirius Black has made it as the 10th.

It wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see the first character on this list be an already established role that Gary Oldman has embodied in his career.  Sirius Black, once prisoner of Azkaban and would-be mentor to Harry Potter, kind of got the short thrift in the HARRY POTTER movies.  That didn’t stop Oldman, consummate professional that he is, from giving the part everything he had.  When it was first announced in 2001 or 2002 that Oldman would be joining the third HARRY POTTER cast, it was a blessing, as someone as gifted and as immersing as Oldman is is precisely what those films need.  He is but one of many reasons why PRISONER OF AZKABAN is the best film of that series.
