I just re-watched 25th Hour the other night. The first time I saw it was in the theater when it first came out. It's a pretty good movie...has some nice Spike Lee touches to it, Rosario Dawson is as hot as can be, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman does his usual disturbing weirdo schtick. I also like Barry Pepper's character in this, and it makes me wonder why he never became a bigger star.

Audrey Hepburn

Here are my one dozen favorites in order.

1) Breakfast At Tiffany's
2) Roman Holiday
3) Wait Until Dark
4) War and Peace
5) The Nun's Story
6) Sabrina
7) Charade
8) The Unforgiven
9) Two For the Road
10) Love In the Afternoon
11) The Children's Hour
12) Robin and Marian

One of my modern day favorite actors in one of my favorite films There Will Be Blood as Daniel Plainview

Favorite Jake Gyllenhaal Performances

http://tobyspinks.com/images/jake_gy...al_eyeroll.jpg

Contrary to popular belief, I don't watch his movies over and over again nonstop, and some I haven't seen in awhile, so I can't say this is a great judgement from me, but here goes nothing:

1. Jarhead
2. Zodiac
3. The Good Girl
4. Brothers
5. Proof
6. October Sky
7. Brokeback Mountain
8. Donnie Darko
9. Moonlight Mile
10. Bubble Boy
11. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
12. The Day After Tomorrow

I have yet to see Love and Other Drugs (waiting for the March 1st Blu-ray release), Rendition, Highway and all the other stuff he's done.

Why I thought Jake in Prince of Persia would be your favourite performance...

Re: Your Favorite Performances by Your Favorite Actor
 

Prince of Persia doesn't have much going for it besides Jake.

I just picked up Rendition. So I have more Jake to experience now.

So many favourite actors I have. For this occasion, I will go with Joseph Gordon Levitt in:

1. BRICK

5. 500 Days Of Summer

Fantastic actor in my eyes. Up there with Paddy Considine, Denzel Washington and Vincent Cassel. Ryan Gosling is not too far behind too.
