John Cleese.

And my favorite Cleese film performance would have to be a non-Python: A Fish Called Wanda....though his Robin Hood in Gilliam's Time Bandits, with only a few minutes of screentime, would be a damn close second.

Thanks. Anyway, here's some more I rembered during my "MoFo Break":

What Lies Beneath Michelle Feifer

[COLOR=orange-red]What About Bob[/color] Bill Murray

Miss Congeniality Sandra Bullock

UHF Wierd Al Yankovic

Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace Euan McGregor

Armagedon Ben Affleck

Young Frankenstein Gene Wilder

Spiderman Toby Maguire

Bring It On Kirsten Dunst

Big Daddy Adam Sandler

X-Men Hugh Jackson

Rope Jimmy Stewart

Mr. Smith Goes To Washington Jimmy Stewart

Mission Impossible Tom Cruise

I'll add the rest later.

Wow, you think Weird Al Yankovic's best preformance was in UHF?!? Me too! What are the odds? I mean he has been so very good in so very many movies, but UHF has gotta be the high-point thus far.


Ewan McGregor: Shallow Grave
Hugh Jackman: no favorites
Michelle Pfieffer: The Age of Innocence
Ben Affleck: Shakespeare in Love
Kirsten Dunst: Dick
Adam Snadler: no favorites
Tobey Maguire: Wonder Boys



And you guys listing more than one movie for each actor are missing the entire point of the exercise. Of course it's impossible to narrow it down to only one performance for favorite actors, but that's what the thread is about.

And now, on with the opera...!

Man, what are the odds?!?

Sorry about that. It's especially hard when an actor has had long career and you like something from their early career as equally as something from their later years. Sorry about that.

Nice list Gracie. How could I forget about....

Lord of the Rings: Viggo Mortensen (Strider)



Edit: I went ahead and edited my lists Holden. That was tough. ^_^;;;

Definatly Jackie Chan in his role in Rush Hour 2 is my upmost fav but i have others (which i will post in good time), I enjoy all his movies but rush hour two was just a relaxing experience, no meanings, no intensly twisting plot, just good quality family entertainment.

Here's more for the Opera.
