You can organize your own top 100 performances list, Squee. You know, the one with Steve Guttenberg as numero 1. :P


No. As I said earlier, Patrick Swayze for Too Wong Fu.

Hmm..how is my Top 20 doing?

1. Ninotchka - Greta Garbo - 1939
2. City Lights - Charles Chaplin - 1931
3. Citizen Kane - Orson Welles - 1941

4. Lawrence of Arabia - Peter O'Toole - 1962
5. The Passion of Joan of Arc - Maria Falconetti - 1928
6. Gone With the Wind - Vivien Leigh - 1939
7. Annie Hall - Diane Keaton - 1977
8. Double Indemnity - Barbara Stanwyck - 1944
9. Singin' in the Rain - Gene Kelly - 1952

10. Some Like It Hot - Jack Lemmon - 1959
11. His Girl Friday - Rosalind Russell - 1940
12. Dr. Strangelove - George C. Scott - 1964
13. The General - Buster Keaton - 1927
14. On The Waterfront - Marlon Brando - 1954
15. Sunset Blvd. - Gloria Swanson - 1950
16. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - Humphrey Bogart - 1948
17. Annie Hall - Woody Allen - 1977
18. All About Eve - Bette Davis - 1950
19. Casablanca - Ingrid Bergman - 1942
20. The Big Lebowski - Jeff Bridges - 1998

I was really happy to see George C. Scott for Dr. Strangelove. He, more than even Sellers, makes the film.

I do hope one or two more from mine do appear. Still only 5.

If she appears, no matter how good the list before, I'm gonna stop reading.

I love it dearly, but a) it's obviously too high and b) it's too low as well since Johnny Depp for POTC will be even higher.

I'm off for bed. Good Night. Will check the sad rest tomorrow...

Pfft, my top 100 has a good balance of arty films and blockbusters.

Can YOUR list say that???


No, my list would say "I am a thoroughly considered sampling of what yoshue conisders to be the 100 essential movie-going experiences of his life, entertainment-wise, imagination-wise, and otherwise-wise.

Subsequently, I am not subject to simplistic categorization."

And at any rate, my list does include a heavy-dosage of blockbusters. I have Gone With The Wind in my Top 10, for the love of Xenu!

You sure it will be?

Guess Depp does have lots of fans...

Delpy, Benning, and Portman were probably 3 of the 4 female close calls.

I just have a hard time believing that Hawke made the list but not Delpy. That'd be more crazy than her being in the Top 15!

I'm going to bed too. No matter the outcome (unless Delpy does appear), I want to congratulate Xia and Chris for organizing this contest. It has been fun selecting the actors and of course watching the results being announced.

Looking forward to future contest/lists of this nature.

P.S. If Delpy appears forget what I wrote above, you all can go to hell! :grrr:

Good pick.

I am shocked that Bogart has not appeared at all on the list. African Queen and Sierra Madre not among the 100 best performance is (would be??) a travesty.

What I saw was good...

Was watching it on a DVD my aunt bought for me a while back... unfortunately 3 entire scenes would not work, and I refused to watch it if I had to skip 3 full scenes.

Speaking of which, Levy, the very idea of your number one makes my head bleed.

I'm sure she's fine, loved Pride & Prejudice....but come on! :whaa:

I don't hate her. It's the film I do hate, therefore I don't think she or Hawke deserved to be near this list.
