4. Jack Nicholson in Terms of Endearment- This is probably a bit of a surprise, but I did actually prefer the two above. Nicholson is inconsistent and some ineffective in his performance at first relying far too much on his trade marks that never meld with his character. He though becomes much better later on capturing the joyous energy of his boisterous character well, as well as creating an interesting relationship with Shirley MacLaine.
1. Sam Shepard in The Right Stuff- Shepard win this year giving a great performance in The Right Stuff. Shepard absolutely becomes test pilot Chuck Yeager flawlessly bringing to life the uninhibited confidence and strength of the man. He speaks few words but he holds every moment he appears on the screen.

I saw The Right stuff years ago .
I'm kinda surprised by this outcome. :)
Totally unsurprised by the outcome here. He was incredibly good. I'm also ecstatic that you listed Ed Harris as deserving as he was very good as well. Simply a great movie all around, one of the best films of the decade.
