What are your favorite physical performances on film? You can interpret this however you like, I mean it to be any time an actor uses athleticism and form to tell a story. It can be Buster Keaton's physical comedy, a great Hong Kong action scene, an amazing stunt, Fred Astaire, John Wick, etc.
I will start it off: you know, I have always been so amazed by Ricou Browning in Creature From the Black Lagoon (who passed away just this year!). My man Ricou has to keep pace with Julie Adams wearing a rubber costume, and she is booking it. I have no idea how he can even see. In the sequels, the suit had an oxygen tank but in the first movie Ricou just had to hold his breath to get the shot and it worked. He completely sold it, made the monster look like a graceful, menacing predator, wonderful scene.
