Here are some of my favourites that haven't (I think) been mentioned:
Male actors (in no order) :
*Jack Nicholson (One flew over the Cuckoo's nest, Five Easy Pieces),
*Harry Dean Stanton (Paris Texas, Repo Man),
*John Cazale (Godfather parts I & II, The Deer Hunter, Dog Day Afternoon)
*Jean-Paul Belmondo (A Bout De Souffle, Pierrot le Fou)
*Jack Lemmon (Glengarry Glen Ross, The Appartment)
Female actors (in no order) :
*Anjelica Huston (The Grifters, Prizzi's Honour),
*Lily Tomlin (Short Cuts, All of Me),
*Cynthia Stevens (Happiness, The Player),
*Joan Crawford (Mildred Pierce, Johnny Guitar),
*Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Aliens, Death and the Maiden)
Also the guy that said he thought Phillip Seymour-Hoffman hadn't been in any bad films, this is sadly untrue - Patch Adams and Montana are the blotches on an otherwise exemplary copybook.
fantastic to see someone acknowledge the ability of the late great Jason Robards, perhaps the finest stage actor that you U.S fellows have ever had. Watch Once Upon A Time In The West: Robards, Fonda and the enigmatic Bronson all put it tremendous performances... That reminds me Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, James Stewart, Dennis Hopper, Isabella Rosselini, Robert Mitchum, Lauren Bacall...
