I really do it so that Louis can see if one of them sparks his interest. It also serves as a place I can go to look for something I may want/be able to watch.<br /><br />As for 2002, if that's what you end up doing:<br />Richard Gere in Unfaithful<br />Hugh Grant in About a Boy<br />Al Pacino in Insomnia<br />Matt Damon in the Bourne Identity<br />Tom Cruise in Minority Report<br />Tom Hanks in Toad to Perdition<br />Robin Williams in One Hour Photo<br />Leonardo DiCaprio in Gangs of New York<br />Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can<br />Edward Norton in 25th Hour<br />Cillian Murphy in 28 Days Later<br />James Nesbitt in Bloody Sunday<br />Greg Kinnear in Auto Focus<br />Willem Dafoe in Auto Focus<br />Richard Gere in Chicago (arguably supporting; I don't think much of his performance in whatever case)<br />Alexandre Rodrigues in City of God<br />Leandro Firmino da Hora in City of God (both of these are definitely overshadowed Meirelles' direction)<br />Sam Rockwell in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind<br />Gael García Bernal in The Crime of Father Amaro<br />Chiwetel Ejiofor in Dirty Pretty Things<br />Hidetoshi Nishijima in Dolls (no idea about the quality)<br />Tsutomu Yamazaki in Doing Time<br />Jake Gyllenhaal in The Good Girl<br />Nick Nolte in The Good Thief<br />Jet Li in Hero<br />Rupert Everett in The Importance of Being Earnest<br />Colin Firth in The Importance of Being Earnest<br />Tony Leung Chiu-Wai in Infernal Affairs<br />Andy Lau in Infernal Affairs<br />Markku Peltola in The Man Without a Past<br />Jason Patric in Narc<br />Adam Sandler in Punch-Drunk Love<br />John Malkovich in Ripley's Game<br />James Spader in Secretary<br />Ralph Fiennes in Spider<br />Shin Ha-kyun in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance<br />Song Kang-ho in Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (he's probably supporting)<br />Javier Cámara in Talk to Her<br />Darío Grandinetti in Talk to Her<br />Hiroyuki Sanada in The Twilight Samurai<br /><br />This was a strong year I feel, and I believe this list shows that, as did the quite strong group of nominees the Academy chose this year.Michael Patisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660402132708891205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-11436219425786191452013-07-20T17:13:25.110-04:002013-07-20T17:13:25.110-04:00don't ask for much do you Michael hehe =D loldon't ask for much do you Michael hehe =D lolRatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-38015453877182900002013-07-20T17:02:47.629-04:002013-07-20T17:02:47.629-04:00Here's some 1943 Supporting suggestions.

I'm working on 2002 as we speak.<br /><br />Dana Andrews in The Ox-Bow Incident<br />Pedro Armendáriz in María Candelaría (he's probably a lead, though)<br />Walter Brennan in Hangmen Also Die!<br />Macdonald Carey in Shadow of a Doubt<br />Charles Coburn in Heaven Can Wait<br />Farley Granger in The North Star<br />Stewart Granger in The Man in Grey<br />Walter Huston in Edge of Darkness<br />Pierre Larquey in The Raven<br />Peter Lorre in Background to Danger<br />George Reeves in So Proudly We Hail!<br />Preben Lerdorff Rye in Day of Wrath<br />Takashi Shimura in Sanshiro Sugata<br />Erich von Stroheim in Five Graves to Cairo<br />Orson Welles in Journey into Fear<br />Orson Welles in Jane Eyre (he's most likely a lead)<br />Maybe a cast member from Destination Tokyo<br />It also may be interesting to see the performances in the German-language Münchhausen. I've never seen it and have absolutely no idea how good it is, but it has a lot of varied supporting roles, though each role is pretty one-dimensional.<br />Seeing how Stalin is portrayed in Mission to Moscow may also be interesting, and Jacques Tourneur's The Leopard Man also sounds quite interesting.Michael Patisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660402132708891205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-79813111498149184552013-07-20T16:33:46.093-04:002013-07-20T16:33:46.093-04:00As was one of mine (Robin Williams in Insomnia).As was one of mine (Robin Williams in Insomnia).Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-76706276840510034102013-07-20T16:31:24.273-04:002013-07-20T16:31:24.273-04:00also keep in mind one of my winning requests was i...also keep in mind one of my winning requests was in 2002 which will only leave two left currently (1966 and 2007).RatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-58110917972566799612013-07-20T15:31:11.421-04:002013-07-20T15:31:11.421-04:00@Michael: If it's 2002, I'd recommend Inso...@Michael: If it's 2002, I'd recommend Insomnia and The Good Girl for underrated gems.Robert MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264501767985746886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-69998724536990014972013-07-20T15:28:53.552-04:002013-07-20T15:28:53.552-04:00Michael: Maybe 2002.Michael: Maybe 2002.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-56418850086508517862013-07-20T15:02:09.080-04:002013-07-20T15:02:09.080-04:00Personally I'd say The Hill (despite the Ameri...Personally I'd say The Hill (despite the American director it's a very British film) and maybe the original 39 Steps.houndtangnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-53338184260051208282013-07-20T13:53:18.041-04:002013-07-20T13:53:18.041-04:00Louis, do you have any idea what year will follow ...Louis, do you have any idea what year will follow 1943 Supporting?
