Clearly the best performance in The Good, the Bad & the Ugly is Eli Wallach as Tuco. Eastwood does much better work as an actor in Tightrope, The Beguiled, Bronco Billy and of course Unforgvien to name but a handful. He's iconic as The Man With No Name, but I wouldn't say he's exactly straining his acting muscles.

ANYway, click HERE for a big ol' honkin' thread on the subject.

Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs springs to mind.
John Cameron Mitchell in Hedwig and the Angry Inch...
Richard E. Grant in Withnail and I...
Steve Buscemi in Living in Oblivion...
Hank Azaria in The Bird Cage...

Are you jocking he ruled in that movie I can't imagine anyone else playing achilies. His acting was great and he rueld the action scenes showing true action star potential. I'd like to see him star in an action movie.

Does anyone agree with me?

Oh man, I completely forgot bout Face Off. Great movie.

-- Every Ed Norton role, the man is brilliant
-- Ethan Hawke in Before Sunset (I'm sure the same goes for Before Sunrise, but I've never seen it). Only a great actor can pull off 80 minutes of pure dialogue.

Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor. If you didn't know any better I wouldn't blame you for believing that the Klump family were real people.
Eddie Murphy again in Shrek.

Speaking of good performance...does anyone else think people should be nominated for oscars for voice acting? And I don't mean some lame Best Voice Actor/Actress award.
