I know I'm probably asking for grief here, but what movies in our fan genres do you think have had the best acting?

Off the top of my head, Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings. The three films have the best acting ensemble.
Also, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Kudos to Ricardo Montalban to amp up Khan's vengeful wrath.

Patrick Stewart in the TNG series.

Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons.
"Nows your time to Die!"
Oh wait, you wanted good acting...
I would like to nominate the entire cast of Aliens. Yeah they were playing a bunch of overamped grunts, but there are so many memorable characters in that flick. How many of us have quoted that flick in our lives?
As for D&D the MOvie, Irons must have been hell on the set guys, with all the scenery he chewing.

Enemy Mine: Louis Gosset Jr. as the andogynous alien.
Aliens: Bill Paxton as the whiny marine. ("We're in some cherry **** now!"). Maybe he just had good lines, but came off as the most interesting character just the same.
Most of the Star Wars movies: Ian McDiarmid - the emperor / Chancelor Palpatine
Blade Runner: Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty. Again, maybe he just had good line, but still.
LotR trilogy: Ian McKellan as Gandalf.
X-men/X-men 2: Ian McKellan as Magneto.
Fifth Element: Chris Tucker as Ruby Rhod (comedy roles count too, right?)
