    What are your favourite acting performances? Doesn't necessarily have to be a favourite actor of yours just performances that stick out.

    For me:
    Robert De Niro as Vito Corleone in Godfather part 2.
    Al Pacino as Frank Slade in Scent of a woman
    (Could list a lot more for those two but those are my favourite ones)

    Sean Penn as David Kleinfeld in Carlitos Way - Wouldnt be a huge Penn fan but thought he was unbelievable in this, watched the whole film without realising it was him at first.

    Joe Pesci- Goodfellas

    Heath Ledger as the Joker- Incredible.

    Chris Tucker - Friday

    Daniel Day-Lewis - Gangs of New York

    Dustin Hoffman - Rain Man

    Matthew McConaughey - Dallas Buyers Club

    Will do actors later, will have a little think about it

    Actresses -

    Angelina Jolie - Girl, Interrupted
    Elisha Cuthbert - The Girl Next Door
    Sarah Michelle Gellar - Cruel Intentions

    The last two are in there for different reasons
