I'd keep McKellen in top 10, possibly top 5. His film breakthrough and probably his second greatest film role. So: 1. Nicolas Cage - Leaving Las Vegas 2. Sean Penn - Dead Man Walking 3. Susan Sarandon - Dead Man Walking 4. Kevin Spacey - The Usual Suspects 5. Ian McKellen - Richard III 6. Emma Thompson - Sense and Sensibility 7. Meryl Streep - The Bridges of Madison Country 8. Morgan Freeman - Seven 9. Elizabeth Shue - Leaving Las Vegas 10. Sharon Stone - Casino 11. Anthony Hopkins - Nixon 12. Brad Pitt - 12 Monkeys 13. Robert De Niro - Casino 14. Kate Winslet - Sense and Sensibility 15. Julianne Moore - Safe 16. Al Pacino - Heat 17. Robert De Niro - Heat 18. Mel Gibson - Braveheart 19. Nicole Kidman - To Die For 20. Ed Harris - Apollo 13 |

Good compromise. Maybe a switch between Spacey and Emma? |

Not sure about it, Spacey won an Oscar for his role, plus he portrayed one of the more iconic movie characters of the 90s. |

I think acclaim is close, but I’m fine either way. 1994? |

I wouldn’t have Gibson in the list. It’s just Lethal Weapon with a cheesy Scottish accent. |

Who you suggest as a replacement, Sherick? |

I would keep De Niro and Pacino in Heat, because of their acting and the impact of being the first movie where both appear together in the same scene, something that did not happen in Godfather II. In addition, they are acclaimed performances by movie fans. It was one of the great moments in the American film of 1995, the meeting of two of the greatest actors of the same generation. |
