 Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live! (Into the top 50) I didn't think he would get recognition for his performance in Truman Show.
Odd. He was fine, but, didn't even think it was a remote possibility, especially not this high.

Though I do think its a very very good performance Only two top 20s, definitely on the very low end of the nominees at this high (by comparison, Martin Landau had 6 but finished 10 spots lower), but propelled by a big amount of 21-100s. _________________Recent watched movies: American Hustle - B+ Inside Llewyn Davis - B Before Midnight - A 12 Years a Slave - A- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - A- My thoughts on box office

Anthony Perkins, Psycho (1960) performance. I was captivated by him every time he was on screen. Possibly my favorite performance by anyone. _________________Setting most people on fire is wrong.Proud Founder of the "Community of Squee."

Just that one moment in the end when he is looking at the camera. Best drag performance? Definitely Patrick Swayze. _________________Setting most people on fire is wrong.Proud Founder of the "Community of Squee."

Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live! (revealing top 30!) I think I put Jack in the Shining in my top ten, not on the right computer to check. If not, 11 or 12. Awesome awesome performance.

Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live! (revealing top 30!) Hoping American History X - Edward Norton - 1998 made the top 20 rather than got left off.

Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live! (revealing top 30!) I'm guessing Jack made the Top 10 with Cuckoo's Nest. I'd also put Depp for POTC and Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs in there, if I had to guess.

Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live! (revealing top 20!) De Niro will be Top 10 for Taxi Driver. Unfortunately also Depp and other undeserving stuff
