    I highly agree on Hopkins in Silence. Even in Hannibal he was amazing, though it was a far less difficult and good film.

    Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

    Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction

    Jared Leto in Requiem For A Dream

    Sean Gullete in Pi

    Edward Norton in American History X


    There's a couple.

    Jake Lloyd 'Anakin Skywalker' The Phantom Menace.

    I'm surprised the Oscars overlooked him.

    Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from Matrix) in The Interview. An award winning performance in an award winning film, with very good reason. See it if you can.

    As Cactus can detest I enjoy doing impressions of that guy

    'you see, mister...anderson, we're willing to wipetheslate clean.'

    or 'helps his landlady with her garbage.'

    Christ what a cynic.

    Re: cool...

    First off your right, Anthony Hopkins is Incredible, I feel that way about him and Kevin Spacey.

    Second, don't you mean Russel Crowe?

    YEAH! Whathisface...Russel Crowe! And Kevin Spacey is fenomenal...I even liked him in K-Pax....I wish he would've taken ME to his planet....sigh.

    And I liked Spacey in that movie where he was a suspect telling the detective how this crime was committed.........can't remember the name of the movie....could it have been "The Usual Suspects" ???

    Off topic, but above post made me think of it.

    Anyone seen: Juan De Marco, with Depp and Brando?

    What about The Big Lebowski? That's my favorite comedy.
