You know, performances that feel so realistic you almost feel weird watching them?
Re-watched Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer last night and Rooker (and to a lesser extent Towles) definitely fits the bill.
Peter Greene in Clean, Shaven is another that immediately comes to mind.

Woody Allen and Mia Farrow in Husbands and Wives. Knowing all the tabloid nastiness that was going on while they were filming that makes all those emotional breakdown scenes so uncomfortable.

The first 3 are just sort of great realistic performances I always champion, the 4th one more fits I think what you're looking for in being eerie.
Damian Lewis - Keane
Crissy Rock - Ladybird, Ladybird
Ian Bannen - The Offence
Erwin Leder - Angst (1983, kind of an Austrian Henry Portrait of A Serial Killer - influenced a lot of lesser films and lesser filmmakers (Gaspar Noe for one - tough to watch)

The cast of Certain Women - stories 2 & 3 especially - gave the least amount of "apparent acting" I've seen in an American film since Before Midnight.  |

I've talked a lot about this very great Rebecca Hall performance (use the Search function ffs ) but "eerily realitic" is totally this performance and how she layers all kinds of "tricks" onto it - modulating her voice volume in a way that's tremulous and almost like voices in her head in a way, invading physical space and then receding into the negative space(s) so she "seems" off .....off balance and rudderless.......eye contact and them denying eye contact, simmering and then snapping, child-like and childish - almost laughing from a kind of bubbling manic undercurrent One of the best female performances of the last 10 yars I think ......so good you almost can't watch it actually because it's TOO on target  |
