I thought he was very good in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, in fact he was the best thing in it by a mile.
My greatest actors and performances of all time
9 Orson Welles
Top four performances
1 citizen Kane
2 The third man
3 compulsion
4 The stranger

One of the only Gary Oldman films I haven't seen yet. But I want to give it a go, when I do I might edit this list depending on how good his performance was

9 Orson Welles
I really liked Compulsion. Orson Welles' Wilk arrives into real blackness doesn't he? And because Welles is often so funny it's a welcome relief at that stage of the film. This was also the first time I've seen Dean Stockwell at that point in his career – he's like James Dean ! I really liked Diane Varsi's performance too, I hope to see some more of her.
Another good Welles film is Three Cases of Murder (1955),
WARNING: spoilers below
where he appears alongside Alan Badel in the third of its three self-contained stories. You wouldn't imagine another actor being able to dominate Welles but Badel does it. It's incredible.

Serpico doesn’t seem to get enough love. Stallone is at his peak in Creed. Best from him since... well, the original Rocky, really.
speaking of mickey rourke i love his performance in Barfly even thou charles bukowski said he overdid it

Tinker Tailor is quiet brilliance. It’s cliche to say this but it really is the rare kind of movie that gets better on multiple viewings. Oldman commands it with his presence alone and it’s got my favorite ensamble of the decade so far. It’s also got better atmosphere than most horror movies.
