What are the top 3 acting performances you have ever seen?

[Filthy McNasty]

Robert Duvall in The Apostle
Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over...
Robert Deniro in King Of Comedy

 

[Breh Obama]

I'm talking those that blew you away, ones that you'll never forget. Mines in order.


1. Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs - Will always be my favourite movie and performance

2. Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood - Just saw this now, this man is something else. Literally man, no wonder why he does movies very rarely.

3. Denzel Washington in Training Day - Favourite actor in his best role


It's pretty hard but narrow your choices

he was only in the movie for 15 minutes and still fukkin killed it

 

[up in here]

Forest Whitaker - The Last King Of Scotland

Will Smith - Pursuit Of Happyness

Larenz Tate - Menace 2 Society

 

[Egomaniacal1]

Foxx in Ray - when they say he channeled that nikka i really believe he channeled that nikka

Denzel in Training Day - didn't know he had that type of role/persona in him

Nicholson in Shining and One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest - he always takes intense roles to a whole 'nother level

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Camron-Paid In Full
Bizzy Bone-Jacked
Wood Harris-Paid In Full

 

[Wise]

he was only in the movie for 15 minutes and still fukkin killed it

I'm telling you, he was great in Hannibal and Red Dragon as well but this movie was something else, not even exaggerating but not for a moment was he out of character.

When Clarice walks to his cell for the first time the man is standing there with the menacing/charming face. And when he's in the birdcage and she's escorted away, "Brave Clarice... you will let me know when the lambs stop screaming, wont you?". She runs back and he says "Bye Clarice" and grazes her finger.


Greatest performance ever.

 

[Born2BKing]

Christian Bale - American Psycho
Jamie Foxx - Ray
Denzel Washington - X

 

[TonyStarks]

1) Health Ledger - Dark Knight
2) Denzel Washingston- Training Day
3) Guy Pearce - Lawless (Film would have been wack if it wasn't for his performance)

Ill list a few in no particular order
Tom hanks - cast away
Choi Min-Sik - Oldboy
Al pacino - godfather 1&2
Bruno Ganz - downfall

*You can make a case for a couple of DDL performances


*You can make a case for several denzel performances as well...in fact, you could fill up a top 10 list with just DDL and Denzel performances

and a throwback





others that are just as worthy -

 

[Mic-Nificent]

Denzel Washington is Training Day is the most overrated fukking performance of that man's career. Only reason people hype it up is because it's the first time he played a villain and he won the oscar for it. I love the movie but people overrate the fukk out of his acting job in that film...

Denzel Washington's best performance to date was as Rubin Carter in the Hurricane.

 

[Danie84]

Angelina Jolie in Bone Collector
Joe Pesci in Casino
Denzel in He Got Game

 

[Savior]

Deniro - taxi driver and raging bull
Daniel Day Lewis - Gangs of New York
Heath Ledger - Dark Knight

 

[Wise]

3. Frances McDormand in Fargo

I actually watched this film a while back. I know she won an Oscar for it but what did you like about it?

I actually found the movie overrated

 

[Hyman Roth]

Kevin Spacey - The Usual Suspects / Se7en

Vincent Cassel - La Haine

Al Pacino - The Godfather / The Godfather Part II
