OB GROUP 100 PERFORMANCES - [PRESENTATION DATES]

Happy to see another fan of her performance. I had seen the movie during a critical year for me both personally and cinematically. The movie itself should be just another silly chick-flick, but the script, Reynolds, and most importantly Fisher kept it from being standard. Easily one of the sweetest, most lovable characters in film. For the longest time I was like "she was just a chick-flick counterpart, ain't nothing special there," but even nearly a decade later I'm thinking about her performance, nearly bringing tears to my eyes and making my heart flutter, and that alone is why she makes my top 25 in the category. Incredible work.

Aww, you should have gone with Sheedy! I think The Breakfast Club ensemble is underrated as a whole, but Sheedy just gave so much depth to a character that most would have just played for the laughs or weird moments. I hope Sheen made your ballot! Everyone talks about Duvall, Hopper, or Brando, but half of the reason the film works so well (and is in my top 25 favorite films) is because of how well Sheen anchors the whole odyssey. You really feel the war-worn spirit through every fiber of his being. Surprised he doesn't get talked about in the same vein as other strong '70s lead performances.

Ahh, see the film itself was okay for me. Abel Ferrara is certainly a divisive director, mostly on purpose, so the film itself has highs and lows for me. But Keitel blew me away through every single frame. I've yet to see another actor get so involved and so loose in their role, and that includes the method ones. My all-time favorite performance in any category.

I've actually yet to see Harakiri, but I'm certainly going to.

Shoot, forget to make a list for this. Oh well!
