Here's a potentially controversial post. Even though I always adore Benedict's acting, I'm not always a fan of the project itself, particular when it comes to sci fi, superheroes, etc.. What's your honest enjoyment level of what you've seen as an overall project:
For me (I haven't seen everything yet).
Love: Patrick Melrose, Sherlock, Cabin Pressure, Parade's End, Frankenstein
Like: 1917, The Current War (Director's Cut), Hamlet, Imitation Game, Stuart a Life Backwards, Starter for 10, to the Ends of the Earth, Forty Something
So-so: Brexit, Dr. Strange, The Hollow Crown, Star Trek into Darkness, War Horse, Grinch
Dislike: all of the Hobbit movies, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Wreckers, Third Star
That's recognizing that things like Hollow Crown and War Horse are excellent and award worthy, etc... just not my cup of tea! I can watch him over and over again crawl around and record Smaug, I just don't care for that type of movie.

Great minds think alike - I agree with almost all your choices! I would have to remove Forty Something because I haven’t seen it. And I would move the Grinch to the “love” category - I think it’s a wonderful movie! I agree that he’s great in everything, and sometimes he’s the best thing in it.

Forty Something is much more about Hugh Laurie than it is Benedict, but he's another actor I enjoy. I watched it on You Tube, actually.

I think TTSS and Wreckers are his best movies until now so I don't agreed. LOL Also it's just a cameo but Four Lions is great, too! But I agreed that his best work are Patrick Melrose and Parade's End and I would add The Hollow Crown, too. And talking about audio, Copenhagen. I also loved To the End of the Earth and Stuart: A Life in Backwards. His worst movie is without any doubt, The Other Boleyn Girl. He is good in his small role but the film is just awful. My polemic opinion: Sherlock isn't very good! Entertaining, yes but no, trank you!

What??? How can you say that? It’s one of the best tv shows ever in the history of tv!
I almost forgot about truly awful Other Boleyn Girl for the “dislike” category, as well as August Osage County. And I loved Amazing Grace, even before knowing who Benedict was,
