Jean Reno - Léon: The Professional Grant seems too high to me, I’m not sure about Travilta above Robbins either. Ed Wood is usually considered Depp all time great performance, it could be 2 or 3. Oldman vs Reno?

John Malkovich – In the Line of Fire 20. Laurence Fishburne – What's Love Got to Do it Val Kilmer and Leonardo DiCaprio are huge omissions. I really don’t see what get Ford that high. I would trade out Ford for DiCaprio, move him up a spit, put Kilmer above Ryder, and take out Malkovich. Fiennes could be raised a bit too.

Paul Scofield - Quiz Show 17. Dianne West - Bullets over Broadway 18. Paul Newman - Nobody's Foul 19. Helen Mirren - The Madness of King George 20. Jean Reno - Léon: The Professional And 1993 1. Daniel Day-Lewis – In the Name of the Father 2. Tom Hanks - Philadelphia 3. Holly Hunter – The Piano 4. Anthony Hopkins – The Remains of the Day 5. Angela Bassett – What's Love Got to Do with It 6. Ralph Fiennes – Schindler's List 7. Bill Murray - Groundhog Day 8. Emma Thompson – The Remains of the Day 9. Denzel Washington - Philadelphia 10. Tommy Lee Jones – The Fugitive 11. Leonardo DiCaprio – What's Eating Gilbert Grape 12. Liam Neeson – Schindler's List 13. Harrison Ford - The Fugitive 14. Val Kilmer - Tombstone 15. Winona Ryder – The Age of Innocence 16. Michelle Pfeiffer - The Age of Innocence 17. Robin Williams - Mrs. Doubtfire 18. Stockard Channing – Six Degrees of Separation 19. Sean Penn - Carlito's Way 20. Laurence Fishburne – What's Love Got to Do it I know Pacino is top ten actor but his inclusion in that year feels fairly random. Only significant nomination he's got is David di Donatello award for Best Foreign Actor. Not included in his top ten performances here on ddd either.

I don’t understand. Denzel also had only one nomination and yet deserves to be on the list. Pacino's performance is well placed on the Pave's list in DDD site.

Wiest is too low, she pretty much swept supporting actress awards for that year. I still think Ford is too high, but at the least switching him with Kilmer should be ok.

All looks good. Just a typing correction, Dianne West should be Dianne Wiest.

Author:	Tim [ Thu Feb 21, 2019 6:52 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: Greatest Film Performances by Year (US/UK)
Corrected. Thanks, Sherick.
