MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Geoffrey Rush in just about everything I've seen him in. Like Sir Ben Kingsley he's one of those actors whose own persona doesn't overwhelm the character.
Also impressed with Michael Sheen in the Queen and The Damned United. I haven't seen Frost /Nikon but I believe he was equally good in that, one of those actors who becomes the person they are portraying.
I agree that Heath Ledger would have gone on to be an one of the best of his generation but I preferred him in films like The Knights Tale and Candy (in which you get another great performance from Geoffery Rush as well)to the Batman films.
Mickey Rourke - Angel Heart
stunning!
Lisa Bonet in Angel Heart gets my vote! *sigh*
Jasmine Cor in Chicken Lovers IV. Boy did she give it her all 
Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment in the 6th Sense. Awesome. Toni Collette wasn't too shabby as Cole's mum either.
David Thewlis in Naked. Pure intense malevolent genius
Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now
Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now
Oh **** right off you big cheesy whatsit!!!
Marlon Brando wins it for his ab-libbing/performance.
Marlon Brando?!!! Get a *ing grip! He was doing nowt more than picking up his wages. You *ing half-wit
Watch Hearts of Darkness, then watch Apocalypse Now. In the opening scene Martin Sheen has an actual nervous breakdown on screen. Its for real. He was bleeding all over himself having consumed 2 bottles of Jack Daniels on his 40th birthday. He wouldn't let them stop filming. Then went on to make one of the finest films ever made
Marlon ****ing Brando?! You really are a tool Hora
Beautiful bit of acting and the ab-libbing really does work. Its not quantity binners, its quality 😉
and he delivered neither. He did deliver a lot of diva-ish requests. Ie: not being shot in anything other than darkness due to him being a fat ****! His performance was worth recording due to good direction/lighting/camerawork.
I'm going to kick you in the plums really really hard on Saturday morning on general principle. Before we set off
[i]Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now[/i]
I think I already said that one and somehow avoided a random, misinformed, unnecessary attack from Hora. 😕
Geoffrey Rush - Shine
Humphrey Bogart - The Caine Mutiny and Treasure of The Sierra Madre
Clint Eastwood - Unforgiven
Gary Oldman - Leon
Alan Rickman - Robin Hood, just for being so far over the top "..and Christmas is cancelled"
Brian Cox doing an acting masterclass many years ago. He did the scene where McBeth is off kill Duncan, no props, walls or effects, he just read the lines and acted the part. Hypnotic, you could almost see the set growing round him
..and Bruce Lee, just because
russell crowe in gladiator
Have you watched Hearts of Darkness Dez? The documentary about making Apocalypse Now? Makes you even more amazed by his performance!
Hora doesn't know Jack ****!!!
Michael Keaton in Much ado about nothing.
9For Mr Woppit)
Kellie Bright as Mary Barton (in, er, Mary Barton). Another at the Royal Exchange.
You hit the first punch to actors credibility. Binners came wading in and badly drove the point home like a drunken golf badly weaving his cart allover the Golf course dunes.
Guys. Its interesting arguing with people are plainly WRONG! 😆

Do you argue with yourself a lot then?
Jack Nicholson on a couple of his previous - the Shining and One flew?'
Have you not been taking your medication again. They'll come for you, you know?
[i]Have you watched Hearts of Darkness Dez?[/i] Yep, I think I've still got it on a "video tape" somewhere.. quality.
Have you not been taking your medication again
Its gone missing. By powers of deduction I am assuming you have quaffed it!
Martin Sheen? Bless!
I always thought Douglas Rain, who provided the voice of HAL in 2001 was perfectly chilling. Does that count?
I quite liked Christian Bale in The Machinist
DeNiro, . . . Cape Fear,
" . . . are you offering me something hot?"
. . . fanbleedintastic!

Sir Ben Kingsley as Don Logan in Sexy Beast - terrifying.
Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Bladerunner - mesmerizing.
Phil Daniels in Quadrophenia
cant remember the name of the film, some court room drama with OJ Simpson. Brilliant.
Gary Oldman in Leon. Actually terrifying. Along the same lines, Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men.
Both Nickelson and Ledger as the Joker.
Sam Rockwell in Moon.
Pretty much everyone in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, especially Brad Pitt, Casey Affleck and Sam Rockwell.
Just remembered - Brad Dourif in Wise Blood. The ultimate nut-case.
Not to be negative but Heath in the dark knight was pants - and to edit the whole film around his none perforamce made for a shocking follow up to Batman begins.
Christian Bale is a great actor - keep the batman franchise with him and we will be much better off/
Yes, I know you will all disagree, but it is in fact all about me
Plum
Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner as above, stunning. And Tom Hanks in Forest Gump etc
sean penn in "carlito's way" al pacino is good in that but sean penn steals it
pacino v de niro in heat
penelope cruz in "volver"
steve buscemi in "the big lebowski" and most of his other films
Robert Mitchum as the Reverend Harry Powell in The Night of the Hunter. From a time when actors actually acted a part
Far far to many to list, too many good films but I'll say Heather Ledger as the Joker in [url=
Knight [/url]. The scene where he's been questioned by Batman is brilliant.
Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men.
Bloke who played Chighur? God yeah. He got an Oscar for that didn't he? Thoroughly well deserved.
Robert Shaw - Jaws
Daniel Day Lewis - Gangs Of New York
Audrey Hepburn - Breakfast At Tiffany's
Heath in the dark knight was pants
Christian Bale is a great actor
Made me laugh anyway.
Audrey Tautou in Amelie. Yes, her being hawt does have something to do with it, but it's still a great performance.
christopher walken king of new york
or
gary oldman true romance both excellent and chilling !
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lektor in Silence of the Lambs
Jack Nicholson in One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest
Louise Fletcher as Nurse Ratched in the same film as she made you want to hate her.
Robert Downey Jr in just about anything- possibly the finest actor of his generation
Kathy Bates- Misery.
Debbie in Debbie does Dallas
Haven't read the rest but the two stand out ones recently for me were:
Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood and Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands in Hunger.
Robert Depardieu in Danton, good in Cyrano too, although the death scene is a bit OTT.
Richard E Grant again BUT how about in 'How to get ahead in advertising' (although Withnail is to drawer to)
Hopkins in The Bounty -

Nah, Gary Oldman is the great actor in the Batman series.
Jack Nicholson - A Few Good Men
Daniel Day Lewis. Gangs of New York, Last of the Mohicans.
Robert Carlisle. Ravenous.
Charles Durning. Choirboys. Tootsie.
John Cusack. All of his films.
John Turturro-Jesus Quintana- Big Lebowski
In fact any of the main cast in that, Bridges, Buscemi and Goodman
deluded - Member
Sir Ben Kingsley as Don Logan in Sexy Beast - terrifying
When asked how he prepared for the part, Sir Kingsley said he didn't have time, so he just thought of his Grandmother... 😯
Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada".
The "Why you are wearing that jumper" speech to "Emily" is, I would argue, her finest moment.
Matt Damon
Michael Fassbender as Bobby Sands in Hunger
Amazed it took us to page 4 to get this.
the most haunting film performance I have seen for some time - indeed, the whole film is simply extraordinary.

The "Why you are wearing that jumper" speech to "Emily" is, I would argue, her finest moment.
I have heard she's in line to play the Sainted Margaret in a biopic of the former She Who Must Be Obeyed.
So that should read "her finest moment so far", probably.
