[Film] Your best ever acting performance in a film

[The Clamp]

A very fair assessment by you, as I remember you’d said previously that Laurel & Hardy weren’t your thing. Which conversely, definitely helped my love of the movie.

Coogan, as a result of numerous attempts to break the States, has chosen some very odd parts in films and has the most bizarre back catalogue of obscure American straight to DVD stinkers . His role opposite Richard Gere in The Dinner (no I hadn’t either) is abysmal. However, when he gets it right, he gets it spectacularly right. 24 Hour Party People, Philomena, and his performance in S&O of course .

I defy anybody to watch that trailer and still not want to see the film... even though you know what happens in the end.

This time it reminded me of Anthony Hopkins performance as C.S.Lewis in Shadowlands. So sensitive, a tear jerker every time.

I've yet to act in a film.

Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.
Tom Hanks in anything he does.
Denzil Washington in any of his films. Especially Flight.

Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds, just awesome.

Not going to rate it as best ever but Stallone in rocky was excellent

My vote goes to Dustin Hoffmann in midnight cowboy

I’m not an actor

At my sister's wedding. I acted like I was enjoying myself and my wife filmed me dancing. It was worth an Oscar.

Post the video let us be the judges

I've not read through everything on this thread but Dustin Hoffmans role in rain man is something special

 

[Binney on acid]

This is a pointless thread. Just watch Jack Nicholson in ‘One flew over the cuckoo’s nest’.

 

[The Clamp]

Tom Hardy. Locke.

 

[NooBHA]

Kathy Bates in ''Misery''

I realize now that the comment I made was in August 2018 and the wedding was in 2012 (actually 12/12/2012 on a Wednesday). I think my sister has the video and might have left it in Chicago. She was married in Hartlepool but moved to Chicago for several years before moving to Stockton-on-Tees in 2016.

Having read the thread title carefully I can honestly say I have never acted in a film. Best I can do was 3rd sheep in nativity play when I was 4. According to the Eastbourne Heralds review my performance was " wooden and and failed to garner empathy " from the viewer

James McAvoy in the film Split was fantastic. How he switched between characters was flawless.

Peter Sellers in Dr Strangelove for multi parts

Nothing has ever come close has it. I watched both The Last Detail and Five Easy Pieces again recently and you could see the brilliance but when the right vehicle came along............ never to be beaten imo.

I've never been in a film.
