Even though he didn't make my list (though he would've been #26 easily), I'm glad he made it. Such an underrated Hitchcock film, and he's probably in the top 5 of Hitchcock performances (which is quite a class to be in).

It's fine. I don't like the movie, and if anyone from The Master should make the list, it's Amy Adams. But he's fine.

I'm sure PSH would have been higher if it weren't for category confusion, but I'm glad he's around this spot. He's really good, but I preferred McConaughey from Killer Joe that year (and he makes my top 10 all-time as well).

Well, that's a surprise. I liked him, but holy hell this is high.

This is the biggest "huh?" from me so far. I actually quite like Norton here (nothing special, but it works quite well), I just didn't realize that there was such love for him.

He was thought of as the next DeNiro in the late 90s. Granted he didn't sustain his acclaim. I wasn't active back then. By the time I came onto the film scene, Norton's career was already pretty dead. I honestly had no idea that there was such acclaim for him. |

Wrong John Cazale performance. He should be here for The Conversation. I'm happy with this one, though.

I know people were big on him maybe a decade or two ago, but I felt the love for that singular performance was dwindling. Still, a strong performance, just very surprising. |

By the time I came onto the film scene, Norton's career was already pretty dead. I honestly had no idea that there was such acclaim for him. Fair enough. He's one of the few non-hacks popular here. Not that he's popular here, but I'm sure we're gonna see lots of plebbiness pretty soon. I just think once you're acclaimed so highly for something, you should never lose your acclaim no matter how many years go by. But that's just my opinion. |

Joe Pesci should be Top 5, maybe even Top 3.
Robert Walker is so fucking good in Strangers on a Train, glad to see him make it.
Cazale and Shaw are both great but neither is better than Pesci

*sigh*
I honestly think his character is the weakest in the movie. Which has far more to do with the script than De Niro himself, but to me he's just "okay."
