[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 9406342, member: 86051"] It's a tricky question. But here's some I've found an utter joy to watch, in no particular order (although Carrie Coon absolutely blew me away the mostest of all of them): Carrie Coon as Nora Durst in [I]The Leftovers[/I] She is so good in this role, especially in Season 1, that it is hard to believe she's acting. It is quite possibly the best performance of ever by any actor. Brad Pitt as David Mills in [I]Seven[/I] I've never forgotten his reaction to the cardboard box. Beatrice Dalle as Betty in [I]37°2 le matin[/I] Enchanting. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep as Father Brendan Flynn and Sister Aloysius Beauvier in [I]Doubt[/I] Chilling performances. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Günther Bachmann in [I]A Most Wanted Man[/I] The way he portrays this burnt out guy is pitch perfect. Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro as Molly Gilmore and Frank Raftis in [I]Falling in Love[/I] It's been a long time since I saw the movie, but it was the first time I realized how exceptionally good they both are. Robert De Niro as, um... anything, but especially some mafioso No explanations required. Winona Ryder as Kim Boggs in [I]Edward Scissorhands[/I] Much aided by the photography. Edward Norton as Aaron Stampler in [I]Primal Fear[/I] He had me fooled. Edward Norton as Derek Vinyard in [I]American History X[/I] Absolutely terrifying. Guy Pearce as Leonard Shelby in [I]Memento[/I] I could list most of his roles..., well..., maybe not the one in [I]Neighbours[/I]. Tom Cruise as Charlie Babbitt in [I]Rain Man[/I] Fast-talking salesman/manager in a pickle. Tom Cruise used to be a good actor. Meg Tilly as Sister Agnes Devereaux in [I]Agnes of God[/I] Plus a huge shout-out to Jane Fonda and Anne Bancroft, as Martha Livingston and Mother Miriam Ruth in the same movie. Oh, and Patrick Stewart, as captain Jean-Luc Picard, in [I]Star Trek: The Next Generation, "The Perfect Mate"[/I] (S05E21) Oh (2), and how could I forget mentioning Zhang Ziyi as Zhao Di in [I]The Road Home?
