- Pino in Do The Right Thing (1989) A good place to start in understanding John Turturro’s career is that he’s very much a part of a certain generation of New York-based actors and filmmakers that came to prominence in the '80s and ‘90s.
- Bernie 'The Shamata Kid' Bernbaum in Miller’s Crossing (1990) Just as you can’t talk about John Turturro’s career without talking about Spike Lee, it’s also impossible to talk about Turturro’s best performances without talking about the films of Joel and Ethan Coen.
- Barton Fink (1991) After Turturro’s crucial performance in Miller’s Crossing, the Coens conceived of their follow-up project, Barton Fink, with him in mind to play the flustered screenwriter at the center of the film.
