5. Ben Kingsley in Bugsy-Kingsley gives a rather dull performance that never really even becomes comfortable with his gangster mannerisms he attempts to employ.
4. Harvey Keitel in Bugsy- Keitel certainly is as good as one could be as the gangster here being exactly as he should be unfortunately he does almost nothing over the course of the film.
3. Jack Palance in City Slickers- Palance like Keitel basically is exactly as he should be in his role, unfortunately just like Keitel he has far too little to do.
2. Tommy Lee Jones in JFK- Tommy Lee Jones creates the right fascinating performance that carefully
but very effectively creates the enigma of a man his character should
be.
1. Michael Lerner in Barton Fink- Lerner is only in three scenes but he
dominates the three scene with his rather enjoyable performance as the
quick talking movie executive.
Deserving Performances:
John Goodman in Barton Fink
Ted Levine in The Silence of the Lambs
Gary Oldman in JFK

Gee, I have to admit I kinda liked "Bugsy" and the performances in it... but still, supporting roles, as much as I have enjoyed them, have no impact on the story. And I would give it to Jones too, although I haven't seen "City Slickers". By the way, on the years' list there is 2009 missing, so you might want to update it ;)
Can you please do 71 next Louis?
yes, 1971 please.
71 or 44 would be my requests xxx =)
1951 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My rankings would be:
1. Harvey Keitel, Bugsy 5/5
2. Michael Lerner, Barton Fink 4.5/5
3. Jack Palance, City Slickers 4/5 (mostly for the entertainment value)
4. Tommy Lee Jones, JFK 3.5/5
5. Ben Kingsley, Bugsy 3/5
