Video: See a moving tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman

One of Philip Seymour Hoffman's many unforgettable roles: as Lester Bangs in 'Almost Famous.'

It's been about a month since Philip Seymour Hoffman left us, and the loss still stings. Many tributes to the actor have surfaced in recent weeks, including a new one that compiles his most powerful moments on film.

P.S. Hoffman (A Tribute) comes from filmmaker and Pop Candy reader Caleb Slain. To make the 21-minute montage, Caleb examined 47 of Hoffman's films and spent about 200 hours editing it all together.

After watching this, I took note of a few PSH movies I'd overlooked, along with several more I'd like to re-watch. Note that the video contains strong language and probably isn't safe for the office:

One of the funnier moments in Caleb's video is the "Mattress Man commercial," an outtake from the movie Punch-Drunk Love. I can't think of any other actor who'd act like a seven-foot drop onto the street was nothing!

Also, in case you missed it, here's the NPR interview we hear near the end of the clip. Thanks for taking the time to make it, Caleb.
