Favorite single acting job

Posted by NuWave (A) on March 18, 2005 at 07:45:51

I'll admit, i've only seen a couple dozen movie pre-1970 so my list is limited and very biased being a gen-x person. I also take rolls seriously even though they may be in movies not respected by critics. Liked Nicholson in The Shining,(i know i'll get flack for this next one)Cruise in Rain Man, and at the top of my list is Nick Nolte in Cape Fear. I try to give credit to actors who take whatever roll they have and make it colorful and cover all areas of the map when it comes to flavor and emotion. These would be the opposites of what we've seen a lot of(not entirely though) in mainstream lately(like the incredibly 1 dimensional Keanu Reeves). Also have to give a nod to Heston in Apes. "Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape!" That's right up there with "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" as one of the greatest quotes in movie history, even though I never saw Gone with the Wind.
