It's a great pick.

Levy's worst fear came true:

#57
Russell Crowe, Gladiator (2000)


Never understood the love for the performance, which doesn't compare to almost any other ones Crowe have given (The Insider, L.A. Confidential, A Beautiful Mind, even Cinderella Man and Master and Commander).

At least the pain from last pick should be offset by this one:

#56
James Stewart, Rear Window (1954)

It's not my worst fear. But I agree. I'd rank his performances this way:

The Insider
Master and Commander
L.A. Confidential
American Gangster
A Beautiful Mind
Gladiator
Cinderella Man

What's that? Number 4 for Jimmy? Or has he already 5?

Hmm, I always thought Crowe's turn in Gladiator was his second-strongest after A Beautiful Mind.

Post subject:  Re: WOKJ's 100 Greatest Performances: Live! (Into the top 75)

That's 4 for Stewart. :yes:

#55
Helen Mirren, The Queen (2006)


Finally another female performance, and one that I adore.

Deserving for Mirren. The best female performance of last year definitely.

This thread is going to help both Levy and me to get closer to our next respective milestones too (10,000 and 15,000). :)
