ITT: Top tier preformances

Too bad his career sort of disappeared after that

and him
in gladiator and HER

Wich movies is that?

Joaquín Phoenix is good in all movies, specially in the PT Anderson ones

De Niro in The Deer Hunter
McQueen in Papillon
Newman in The Hustler
Tobey in all three Spidermans

Jack Lemmon

Leave this board.

>Pic related was terrifying in every scene of the film. Especially, the gas station scene. He definitely deserved the oscar and can't wait to watch NCFOM again.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. What a reddit tier pleb opinion.

That dude was fucking trash, look at his fucking hair cut and tell me with a straight face that he is 'fucking terrifying

>le edgy man who kills everyone is "terrifying"

Go back to where you came from.

Sorry for the noob question. Can you still answer?

...

Both

Oh the irony.

American Psycho. Bale's is great in it.

DUDE COMMENTARY ON THE NATURE OF DESTINY, DEATH AND THE EVER-PRESENCE OF EVIL AND THE PERSERVERENCE OF GOOD IN THE FACE OF IT ALL LMAO

Rofl
>sup pleb here

you first

this board a shit, thread is full of amateurs and safe overrated choices

How to spot a pleb
>they're impressed by actors playing unhinged psychos which are the easiest roles to play

Not true, not true at all. Not every actor could'ev pulled a performance like Bale's or Bardem's. Bardem really stole every scene he was in and he was always a terrifiying pressence on screen.

Off the top of my head:

Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For a Dream
Cate Blanchett in Blue Jasmine
Woody Harrelson in Rampart
Timothy Spall in Mr. Turner

Considine sold the dangerous broken man, racked with anger, guilt and self loathing

Kebbell nailed the mentally handicapped role without ever stepping over the line into farcical pantomime.

Stop repeating the same shit. He wasn't terrifying you're a pleb

...

Bardem was a fucking hack with an emo haircut. As soon as i got to past the gas station scene i erupted in laughter and turned the film off, what a fucking shitshow. That candy wrapper thing was the most pretentious college "art film" technique.

...

Kill yourself, this is why nobody cares what anyoje has to say on this board. Those films are hamfisted.

this

I'm glad im not that only one who thought it was garbage. I really hate the Coens save some of their 90s stuff

Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard

No those films are great. His actors and films have won and been nominated for multiple academy awards

Name?

>He wasn't terrifying your'e a pleb
Oh, just bite me, contrarian piece of shit.

>As soon as i got to past the gas station scene i erupted in laughter and turned the film off, what a fucking shitshow.
>turned the film off
Opinion discarded.

>No those films are great. His actors and films have won and been nominated for multiple academy awards
are you thirteen or just off the reddit boat? oscars mean absolutely jack shit commit suicide you have no taste

"Possession" (1981) lol

Tom Cruise

...

Best acting performance I've ever seen from an actress

Why is olive oil coming out of her bum bum?

Sorry but I trust the opinion of a respected academy more than some neckbeard on a dying taiwanese racing forum.

...

You got me there

...

Nah.

Species. Kill Bill.

he probably would do a good job with the role but the problem is Patrick Bateman doesn't save the world from global terror or aliens so Cruise would never be involved with it.

Shame really he used to be a versatile actor or at least he was in a variety of types of films back in the day.

I say that as someone who likes mission impossible as a franchise which is better at doing bond than bond these days I just wish he'd do other varied projects too.

You lack the intelligence to support your opinion beyond spouting buzzwords and cliches.

Lisa Blount in pic related

Literally taken from the line in the book describing that exact motion.

Woody Harrelson in True Detective. Personally felt that his performance was underrated.

The book is shit and so is the movie

Kys you cliche reddit nigger

>respected academy
top kek

This. Cred Forums isnt even worth saving now that David O Russell fans spread their cancer along with the endless capeshit

Are buzzwords all you're capable for, or do you have actual arguments?

The amount of irony in your comment is certainly amuzing.

Juliette Binoche in Three Colors: Blue

in Blade Runner

BR 2 may be good, but nobody will be able to replace him.

Macon Blair in Blue Ruin

Daniel Day-Lewis in There will be blood

Aiden Gillien as Bill Wilson.

I don't think Kyle Maclachlan is a great actor, but I do think he's fucking perfect on Twin Peaks.

I mean... Just look at him. He nails it.

Rust was the more showey role but I agree that Woody did damn fine work

After he sees the tape towards the end of the season there is a low key scene with him and the ex wife. He looks subtly grief stricken the entire time. Eyes glazing over like he can't get that shit to stop repeating in his head. Great stuff

>book and movie are buzzwords
How detached from reality are you?

Richard e grant in Withnail and I

Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara

Too close to home.
Also, didn't Bale say he drew inspiration for Cruise in an interview?

that ending monologue.

I wasn't ready

This guy is gonna be a star someday soon

PSH in The Big Lebowski

Totally agree. In finding the picture I saw that he has a movie coming out next year that he wrote/directed, here's hoping that whatever it is, it gets him some recognition.

Keanu Reeves in A Scanner Darkly convinced me that he could actually act, and act well.

>that one contrarian token Cred Forums-user who just has to call every popular opinion shit, spout slurs and spam the thread with shitflinging

This is what we'll end up with if Cred Forums goes

goddamn, I hope so

PSH is good in everything he did. His performance in Boogie made me cry

Anyone who's worked with actors in any capacity will agree with you. But then you have cinematically illiterate Cred Forumseddit tourists like That have killed this board for the past four years. Kneejerk reactionary cancer with no critical thinking skills.

The trips of truth. PT Anderson must have been bating so hard right while watching this scene.

youtube.com/watch?v=SfkqGyx-rEw

the highlight of this episode

Based men recognize each other.

>cinematically illiterate
>Cred Forumseddit
You couldn't be more unironic cancer if you tried. Those films are shit and so is the acting in them you jlaw academy apologist

Stay in your blacked containment generals, tourist.

The irony here is staggering.

Nobody here over the age of 18 is enjoying discussions consisting of "kys cancer cuck".

If you are going to tell everyone that their taste in both books and movies are shit, give a better reason than "lol their shit" or "their literelly reddit".

What actors do you enjoy?
Or are you scared of having an unironic opinion because it leaves you vulnerable?

...

Yeah, Ian McKellan really outdid himself. I can't really think of anyone else being able to fit that Wise, Agressive but Loving at the same time.

Michael Caine or Gambon maybe. But not as good as Ian.

Really hope that guy gets some more screentime, he absolutely stole that episode
