Your favourite acting performances?

[Ace of Knaves]

Have you seen "If"? He's great in that aswell.

 

[gwynplaine]

Yeah and also in "O Lucky Man" and "Time after Time".
H.G Wells vs Jack The Ripper (David Warner). Good stuff.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Gah, I've kept pushing that one off for awhile.

Just last night I watched Psycho for the first time in a long time. I have to say that after watching Perkins in that, it's up there as one of my favorite performances.

Nic Cage and Holly Hunter-Raising Arizona.

Great choices!

You know what's another good performance from Cage in my opinion?

Moonstruck

Thanks

Yea Cage has had a lot of great performances. It does truly baffle the mind when people say he is a crap actor.

Have you seen the new Bad Lieutenant yet?

Not yet, I'll have to add it to my Netflix cue. In fact I'll do that right now while i'm on lunch.

Yeah, he is a good actor, it's just after hearing about his financial problems...I can see why he started taking so many crappy roles.

edit: hahaha. It was already in my que, must have added it earlier in the week. I should be getting the Wicker Man remake tomorrow. That one is mainly for laughs since I heard he really goes a bit overboard with his acting.

Watched it again also a couple days ago and I was once again blown away by the modernity and subtlety of Perkins' performance. One of my favorites of all time as well.

Donnellys was a fantastic show and completely underappreciated. It was one of the shows I was more sad to see go.

 

[gwynplaine]

Mark Ruffalo, Sir Ben Kingsley and Leonardo Di Caprio in "Shutter Island". In that order.

 

[gwynplaine]

Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky, and as Hamlet.
