The 10 Best Robert Downey Jr. Movies Where He Isn’t Iron Man

6. Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Robert Downey Jr. won his second Golden Globe for donning a faux, yet relatively convincing, British accent to play the iconic 19th century private investigator, proving (just a year after his debut as Iron Man) he has what it takes to lead more than one franchise. Under the direction of Guy Ritchie, Sherlock Holmes, which also stars Jude Law as Dr. John Watson, re-imagines Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s creation as more of an action hero than previous, and subsequent, iterations. But, Downey’s dazzling portrayal still honors the detective’s anti-social predilections, addictive personality, and, most importantly, his incomparable powers of observation, which carry through, satisfyingly so, in the 2011 sequel. The actor alone is reason enough, as far as I am concerned, to look forward to the upcoming third installment.
