No, I haven't seen the original movie, but I stand by what I said. The Manchurian Candidate is quite possibly the most twisted movie I've ever seen.

Streep would have to be very good indeed to compare with Angela Lansbury in the original.

I'd like to nominate the entire ensemble of the movie "Heat" by Michael Mann.
The film, if you really objectively look at it, is quite dull in parts and doesn't really patch together well. But who cares because every single performance is golden. Pacino, de Niro, Kilmer, it goes on and on. It's all good.

I agree. The movie is often a drag, but I can still enjoy the actors portrayals well enuf.
Johnny Depp.....Benny and Joon.

Joaquin Phoenix in The Village.
This was quite possibly, one of the worst, if not the worst movie I've seen in my entire life. It was really, really, rreeaallyy bad. M. Night Shyamalan's forgotten how to write a good story after The Sixth Sense.
But Joaquin's performance was brilliant. Also Adrian Brody's. It wasn't pleasant to see a recent Oscar winner in a movie that sucked so bad.

The Village wasn't that bad, though i'll agree that Phoenix and Brody rose above it.

Gary Busey in "Surviving the Game". There's one scene on the middle that's a really long take of Gary explaining to Ice-T how he got the scar on his face. Worth owning the DVD just for that scene, alone, as Gary is outstanding in it. That scene belongs in a much better film.

Richard Dreyfus in "The Goodbye Girl"...and again, it's just one scene...the scene after his spectacular flop as a gay Richard III on stage. He looks like he's been beaten.

Natalie Portman in Garden State. Okay, so the film may not be utterly atrocious, but I wouldn’t call it great, and I certainly wouldn’t name it as a generation-defining work of art like a few reviews were touting upon the film’s release. Not when I already saw the abnormally large pet graveyard scene followed by a frank discussion of death a decade earlier in an episode of the Nickelodeon classic Pete and Pete, and definitely not when Braff is delivering lines like “There’s this image in Life Magazine that’s always haunted me.” Gee, we wouldn’t actually want to describe the image, would we?
However, the film has its merit in that I never understood the fanboy love of Portman until I saw Garden State. She didn’t impress me too much as a queen or a senator, but she does have a handle on the whole wacky/quirky/sexy/every-girl thing.

Good catch; I'd forgotten that movie, but I remember now. I watched it until Busey died and then I thought, "screw it, movie's over."
