What's your favorite performance by an actor or actress, /tv/? Not what you think is best, but your personal favorite.

I love the scene where he flips out in the diner.

Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder? Saved his career if I recall correctly

>be Polish
>watch Big Lebowski for the first time
>most the main characters has Polish surnames
>huh, weird, ok
>years later learn about the Polish jokes in the US
>realize this movie is just a one big Polish joke
love it anyway
I can't pick a favourite but Matthew Lillard from Scream is the first thing that comes to mind.

Tom Cruise has such an impressive filmography by now.
What a legend.
>>71444142
He's been a total bro about saving American action movies
>>71443775
>I had buddies who died FACE DOWN IN THE MUCK so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant
god damn the dialogue in that film was incredible

There's something about Wilder's performance here that just completely kills me, he's fucking hilarious while barely doing anything
Now mind you that I only picked this because I couldn't choose from the Coens. They just seem to get the best out of their actors.

Fair play
I've never had an actor make me empathize so much with their character even though I'm not really much like that character at all
remove your name faggot

It's a pity he does not want to get out of his good guy comfort zone to be honest. I did not realise he was the fat bastard in TT until the credits.
Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet

BABY WANTS TO FUUUCK
Wish she had more lines.
>>71445880
The only movie I've seen with her is The Hudsucker Proxy. She was the best part of it however. Those long scenes with lengthy dialog must have been hard to memorize.
>>71443720
Scout in Halloween 2.
Joaquin Phoenix in The Yards, Two Lovers, and the Immigrant.
Craig Daniels in Casino Royale
The main cast of Dazed & Confused.
Eastwood in Teh Bridget of Madison Count
Marty Shene in Baldlands
Cambpell in EviL Dead I & II
Kurylenko in To the Wonder
>>71446132
I loved Craig in Casino Royale. Such a wonderful performance.
Those poker scenes with Mads were tense.
>>71446286
Yeah it was quite the performance, Eva was also very good.
Favourite = best, and there is literally nothing you terrible fucking spergs can say to change that.
>>71446778
I can give you a performance that is technically flawless, without flaws, but that isn't my favorite.
but
I can also give you my favorite performance that is flawed, and not techinically perfect.
This isnt hard distinction to make.
Hands down best part of Teen Wolf, one of my favorite 80's movies of all time. I love that it's a movie made before Michael J. Fox had really taken off with Back to the Future, so everybody in the cast is just having fun with it.
>>71447151
Movie wasn't great but holy shit DDL was based.
>WHOOPSIE DAISY
>would you like to see my mask?
Murphy gets completely forgotten between everybody having an orgasm over Heath's joker and the meme-machine that is Bane in TDKR, but I probably prefer him to the others, he plays the role brilliantly, he starts out so self assured and likeable, and slowly starts losing his own mind as the film goes on, hes not some human puzzle or a nearly-unbeatable Demi God type character, he has almost no known history in the film, and is just a bad fucking dude doing bad fucking shit for his own reasons, no lessons in morality like Joker, no "Gotham reckoning" and league of shadows undercurrent like the masketta man, just a straight up villian.
choi min sik in "I saw the devil"
>>71447427
My cousin is in love with this dude.
Great performance in BB.
>>71447119
Isnt Teen Wolf a tv show too? How is it?

Am I pleb for not liking Scrooged?
>>71443720
>>71447680
Yeah, it is, because some Hollywood asshole decided that a great way to cash in on the Twilight craze was to frankenstein a modest 80's hit movie into another Buffy.
Tbh I've refused to watch it. From what I understand it's a totally different everything with a few names from the original.

Kingpin is his best role by far, nothing even comes close.
>>71448040
>not life aquatic
>>71448002
I suppose not, its not a great film but murray is fantastic in it i think
>>71447824
His T-Shirts, and funny dumb lines like:
"I heard Mr. Warner? The shop teacher? Got his dick stuck in a vacuum cleaner."
"You're not a FAAAAG, are you?"
I just enjoy the fuck out of his performance. Not necessarily a great one by everybody's standards, but personally yeah.
Both Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany gave their best performances in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. I watch this movie maybe four times a year, usually when it's raining and I'm hungover

Nick cage in magnolia.
It was like he was born just to play the part of Kaufman and his brother in that movie.

>the bit where the little blonde kid blasts a Frenchman in the face at point blank with a musket pistol
Glorious.
>>71446572
from a acting perspective, was she the best Bond girl?
Certainly from a characterization aspect she had to be.
also
>Vesper Lynd
>West Berlin
bravo Flemming.
>>71448814
Yeah, easily.
Colossal shit of a movie, great performance. My first pick would be PSH as Capote.
>>71448396
Adaptation, and I forgot about that one. I change my choice to that also
Gyllenhal blew my mind in this movie, he somehow made someone so chadlike and goodlooking come off as a creepy and weird motherfucker. his mannerisms and the way he talks in this movie is brilliant
Both of them.
>>71445019
If you're not a raging faggot or a preteen, then yes, you should know what that pic is.
>>71445019
The Big Lebowski, watch that shit.
Joaquin in The Master, Stuhlbarg in A Serious Man, Goodman in Lebowski, De Niro in Taxi Driver/Raging Bull, Larson in Room/Short Term 12, Oscar Isaac in ILD, Simmons in Whiplash, Sandler in PDL, Fassbender in Shame, Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, PSH in Synecdoche, Murray in Lost in Translation, and Rourke in Wrestler all come to mind for me
