Actor: 1) F. Murray Abraham, Amadeus 2) Al Pacino, The Godfather Part II 3) Anthony Hopkins, The Silence of the Lambs 4) Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood 5) Casey Affleck, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Actress: 1) Naomi Watts, Mulholland Dr. 2) Jodie Foster, The Silence of the Lambs 3) Rosamund Pike, Gone Girl 4) Charlize Theron, Monster 5) Nicole Kidman, To Die For
I was surprised at how much tougher Actress was than Actor. I feel so bad leaving out the likes of Swanson (Sunset Blvd.), Bates (Misery) and McDormand (Fargo).

Brando; On the Waterfront DeNiro & Pacino; The Godfather Part II Day-Lewis; There Will Be Blood Burton; Look Back in Anger
Leigh; Gone with the Wind & A Streetcar Named Desire Winslet; Heavenly Creatures Huppert; La Pianiste
not sure what the fifth would be... Wright in Mrs. Miniver, Byron in Black Narcissus, Swank in Boys Don't Cry, Neal in Hud, Ullmann in Scenes from a Marriage. Something like that.

Actor:
1. Malcolm McDowell ~ A Clockwork Orange 2. F. Murray Abraham ~ Amadeus 3. Peter Sellers ~ Dr. Strangelove 4. Tony Leung ~ Happy Together 5. Toshiro Mifune ~ Throne of Blood
Actress:
1. Glenn Close ~ Fatal Attraction 2. Diane Lane ~ Unfaithful 3. Emily Watson ~ Breaking the Waves 4. Vivien Leigh ~ Gone with the Wind 5. Harriet Andersson ~ Through a Glass Darkly
Funny how my top 2 were both directed by Adrian Lyne.
Actress is much harder for me as well, I guess I find women more interesting to watch. HMs to Rowlands in Opening Night, Watson in Hilary and Jackie, Huppert in The Piano Teacher & Story of Women, Bates in Misery, Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire.
