Your 3 favorite performances from your 10 favorite actors

LOL! Well really all he did was impersonate a black man for 90 minutes. He did well, but was no Morgan Freeman

Of the ones I've seen, these are the performances that stand out. Al Pacino's hilarious in Glengarry Glen Ross when he's destroying Kevin Spacey's character – reminds me a bit of what he does in Heat but less over-the-top.

9: Michael Shannon:

as Curtis LaForche in Take Shelter
as Richard Kuklinski in The Iceman

I'd put General Zod third but I haven't seen Man of Steel in full.

Haven't and wont ever see The Iceman. I'm sure Shannon is very good but i just hate how much of a lie that whole film is.

Shotgun Stories is my favourite Shannon performance.

10: Michael Fassbender:

as David in Prometheus
as Magneto in X-Men: First Class
as Charles Allen in Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking

I seem to see bits and pieces, for instance I saw him looming over Kristen Stewart in The Runaways a few months ago. As with Fassbender he's someone that I just instantly liked and he is brilliant in The Iceman, so it's worth a look if only for his performance.

I like Shannon too, i just don't like that a film was made based on Kuklinskis lies.

Ok, here goes nothing.

1. There Will Be Blood - out of all the performances on this list this is my favourite!

Aaaaand ironically I haven't seen any other movie with him in it. I know he is in Lincoln but is there any other good films/performances from him?

(I feel like I'm forgetting someone...)

Joaquin Phoenix, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy? Nice.
