Best Scene: The volley.
4. Dirk Bogarde in King & Country- Bogarde gives a very solid and rather unique performance as a soldier who slowly grows more invested into his case even if that growing investment means a growing personal shame.
Best Scene: Captain Hargreaves questions his superior after the trial.
3. Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars- Eastwood is terrific in his creation of the Man with No Name who can be enjoyably deadpan but is as well can bring emotional poignancy when necessary.
Best Scene: The final duel.
2. Tom Courtenay in King & Country- Courtenay gives a heartbreaking portrait of the end result of an endless time in the trenches of World War I.
Best Scene: Private Hamp tells why he deserted.
1. Richard Attenborough in Guns at Batasi- Good Prediction RatedRStar. Attenborough gives two great performances this year with his moving portrayal of a weak man in Seance on a Wet Afternoon and his absurdly entertaining performance as Major Lauderdale a man with unshakable resolve.
Best Scene: The Major refuses to give up his arms.

Time for some new Hong Kong talent, my winning request is the James Dean of Hong Kong.
Nicholas Tse in Bodyguards and Assassins (Best Supporting Actor 2009)
are The Best Man and Fail Safe any good?
The Best Man is good although a bit too obvious in its writing.
Fail-Safe is Dr. Strangelove if you removed the humor. It's actually a very effective film, but Dr. Strangelove is the superior film because having some dark humor is usually the best approach with extremely bleak material.
RatedRStar: I thought Wang Xueqi was great, so was Nicholas Tse, Donnie Yen was badass as always and the whole cast as a whole was pretty solid. What did you think of the rest of the cast?
@Kevin: I agree with you on Wang ,Nicholas Tse, and Yen, I thought Tony Leung Ka Fai added nice dramatic weight.
Some performances left little to no impact however such as Simon Yam and Leon Lai.
I chose Nicholas Tse because I think he just creates a very warm and likable, he also probably has the most heartbreaking scene in the film which is his final scene which is very well done.
Not surprised that you didn't like Leon Lai, since I think he was one of your least favorite Hong Kong actors, but I thought he was fine.
Btw, what are your favorite Hong Kong films? I know infernal affairs is high up there.
Damn. How many wins is that for Attenborough now? 3, or am I forgetting one?
For 1964 Supporting:
Sterling Hayden in Dr. Strangelove
Fredric March in Seven Days in May
Frank Overton in Fail-Safe
George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove
Gian Maria Volonté in A Fistful of Dollars
Others:
Wilfred Brambell in A Hard Day's Night
Robert Morley in Hot Enough for June
Slim Pickens in Dr. Strangelove
But the other 5 are certainly more deserving.
my top 20 Hong kong films that I would recommend to anyone.
1)Lan Yu (Liu Ye's best performance)
2)Infernal Affairs
3)One Nite In Mongkok (Alex Fong and Daniel Wus best performances)
4)Mad Detective (Lau Ching Wans best performance)
5)An Untold Story (Anthony Wongs best performance)
6)A Better Tomorrow (Chow Yun Fats best performance)
7)Fallen Angel (Takeshi Kaneshiros best performance)
8)Days Of Being Wild (Leslie Cheungs best performance)
9)Police Story (Jackie Chans Best Performance
10)Shaolin Soccer (Stephen Chows best performance)
11)Hard Boiled
12)Let the Bullets Fly
13)The Longest Nite
14)Beast Cops
15)Election (Tony Leung Ka Fais best performance)
16)Happy Together (Chang Chens best performance)
17)Chungking Express
18)Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
19)Bodyguards and Assassins
20)In the Mood for Love
Infernal Affairs is probably the most well made Hong Kong film but my heart belongs to Lan Yu because its sad and lovely lol =D.
