Isabelle Adjani, The Story of Adele H.Heath Ledger, Brokeback MountainJulianne Moore, Far from HeavenCharlotte Rampling, Under the SandRomy Schneider, L'Important c'est d'aimer On second thought... that list has T Y L E R written all over it.

Favorite is the key word because it never - to me - means "the best" ......not sure I can do just 5 but 5 I always think are endlessly watchable at least and palatable - a lot has to do with the character to start with ........also all of these performances have quite a lot of humor in them.........humor mattters for stuff like this........it matters in acting a whole lot...... Barbara Stanwyck - The Lady Eve - the most joyous, effervescent - and flat out sexy - performance imaginable.....and captured on film...we aren't worthy tbh Huppert - La Ceremonie (which actually is her best, um) Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon - his best I think is Godfather II but this is funnier.....does any great performance balance the elements of tragicomedy so deftly? Brando - Streetcar Named Desire - literally one of the very few performances - by anyone - where every choice he makes in speech, manner, posture, physicality - everything - can be analyzed....... Choi Min-sik - Oldboy - Like my friend says about this movie "Has there ever been a movie so beautiful about things so ugly?" .....well has there ever been a performance more animalistic, bestial that also achieves a kind of grace? Patrick Dewaere in Serie Noire could fit here too ........ |

EDIT: I realise that saying the blow line came across rude lol, I just meant nonsense from my own tastes personally  Favourite opens this up to all kinds of nonsense tbh, but to me favourite = most rewatchable, captivating in an entertaining sense. Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler Jack Nicholson, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest Ellen Page, Juno Barbara Stanwyck, Double Indemnity Ralph Fiennes, The Grand Budapest Hotel That's off the top of my head, I lost all my lists years ago, and as said, there are a few in there based really on entertainment level rather than an all time technical level. |
