The best acting performances of all time

Listed below. If you disagree it's because you are wrong.

Ralph Fiennes - Schindler's List
Tom Hanks - Forest Gump
Al Pacino - The Godfather
Charlize Theron - Monster
Daniel Day Lewis - Gangs of New York


Anyone that says any performances from Star Wars will be publicly proclaiming their ignorance when it comes to the art of acting.

 

Bill Clinton - the lewinsky escapades

 

Billy Bob Thornton - Sling Blade
Leonardo DiCaprio - What's Eating Gilbert Grape
Kevin Spacey - The Usual Suspects
Meryl Streep - Sophie's Choice

 

Morgan Freeman - Shawshank Redemption
Tom Hanks - Philadelphia/Forrest Gump
Ben Kingsley - Schindler's List
Liam Neeson - Schlindler's List
Meg Ryan - When Harry Met Sally (good acting doesn't mean angst all the time)
Anthony Hopkins - Meet Joe Black/Hearts of Atlantis

 

OJ's reaction upon hearing his verdict.
Kobe's press conference apology to his wife. (He was only sorry he got caught)

 

True. Comedy is harder work than drama.

 

Sean Pean - Fast Times at Ridgemont High

 

Just my personal faves:

Joe Pesci ? Goodfellas
Peter Sellers ? Being There
Nicolas Cage ? Raising Arizona
Robert DeNiro ? Awakenings
Jack Nicholson - Five Easy Pieces

 

Humphrey Bogart - Casablanca
Robert De Niro - The Godfather, Part II
Angela Lansbury - The Manchurian Candidate
Lon Chaney - The Phantom of the Opera
Al Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon
Johnny Depp - Ed Wood
Gene Hackman - The French Connection


EDIT: Those are just off the top of my head.

 

I just finished reading the book for a class: I am intrigued to see the movie.

As for my selection, I'll go with Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall in Falling Down.

 

Five Actors:

Gregory Peck--The Omen
Gregory Peck--To Kill a Mockingbird
Denzel Washington--Malcolm X
Brad Pitt--A River Runs Through It
Kevin Spacey--The Usual Suspects

Five Actresses:

Hillary Swank--Million Dollar Baby
Michelle Yao--Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Julia Ormond--First Knight
Naomi Watts--Mulholland Drive
Audrey Hepburn--Wait Until Dark

 

The reason I love it, is because it was such a departure from what we typically see Peter Sellers doing and he did a superb acting job.

 

Sellers was great in Being There, especially towards the end.

 

Damian Lewis - Band of Brothers

 

Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman - Star Wars Episode II

 

Messi, Champions League QF v Chelsea

 

I disagree because I havent seen any of them

 

lol

 

Oscar worthy in my book.

 

Vince Vaughan in Wedding Crashers
Steve Carrell in 40 Y.O.V.
Jason Mewes and Kevin smith in any of the Jay and Silent Bob Movies

 

Don't forget 3 too.
