Greatest Screen Performances per Film Actors

[Sherick]

Wow very different. I don't think Mr. Holmes has too much going for it, but I'm not opposed. And the Band Plays On and Rasputin seem much stronger than The Dresser and Vicious though.

[Tim]

[Sherick]

I think you're right on for both of them. I didn't want to group all the Shakespeare films one after another but that's my preferred ranking, honestly. (Would still go Hamlet > Henry but I understand the reasoning)

I mean, that's kind of what he's known for.

[Tim]

Plus being a villain from Harry Potter.

[Tim]

Now I feel that Two Towers should be on Sir Christopher's list as well, don't think there's too big of a gap between it and Fellowship.

[ManPerson]

I'd have The Big Boss > The Orphan.

[Dubrow555]

I'd have The Big Boss > The Orphan.

The final boss of Metal Gear Solid 3 over the hardest boss in Bloodborne?? (SORRY! Wrong forum....)

[Sherick]

Now I feel that Two Towers should be on Sir Christopher's list as well, don't think there's too big of a gap between it and Fellowship.

I guess that's true, but I'm fine with the list the way it is too. Although, shouldn't Dracula be #1?

[ManPerson]

I thought that too, actually. Seems like his signature role, for sure.

[Tim]

Switched.
