Anyone thought about this one?

Sigourney Weaver, Aliens (1986)

wow

YES!!! Just 18 spots too low!

Okay. That should mean Bette Davis is definitely top 10.

I love Aliens, but no way. She isnt any better than Arnold in Terminator 2.

Wow I just realized Spacey for Usual Suspects hasnt came up yet. Either not on the list or wayyyy too high, and thats coming from someone with US in their top 5.

Im betting on the former, which is a surprise.

What'cha gonna do now, Levy?

Actually, I'm just wondering if Xia pulled a trick on me with claiming 11-20 would be good

Spacey is for sure top 10, even though I find his performance super overrated.

Prepare for another shocking selection, especially this high, considering how the film itself is regarded:


#18
Daniel Day Lewis, Gangs of New York (2002)

WTF

Actually havent seen it, just totally surprised.

I'm not shocked at all!

20.Garden State - Natalie Portman - 2004[/quote]

Actually, she is.

He should be there, but for My Left Foot or Last of the Mohicans, not for that one. Oh well!

How many points were needed to get into the Top 100 Xia?

Two No. 1s.

It was one of the best perfromances of the last decade. And In the Name of the Father was a much better perfromance than those two.

There is only one performance in common in both Levy's and my list, Bogart in African Queen. Let's see if that helped.

And seems nobody had mentioned this one yet:

#17
Orson Wells, Citizen Kane (1941)

Damn it. So my Atonement gimmick was for nothing and will haunt me when Bette falls short...

I agree with the In the Name of the Father part.

That's beause we didn't think KJers were that smart. Coooool.

Oh Yes! Didn't think it would get much love besides from me.

BTW: I just realized I forgot to propose Harrison Ford for Blade Runner in the nomination process. Dang!
