4. Zbigniew Cybulski in Ashes and Diamonds - Cybulski gives a solid portrayal, even infusing some James Dean mannerisms naturally, of a young devoted soldier who slowly sees there is potentially more to life, even if I do feel his performance is overshadowed by the film as a whole.
Best Scene: Maciek expresses his hesitations to his superior.
Best Scene: The General charges to stop the enemy's pursuit.
Best Scene: Jimson and Coker in the boat at night.
Best Scene: Scottie sees Madeleine "resurrected".

=D ahh rite, I see, I will name my winning request later on.
Orson Welles - Touch Of Evil
Burl Ives - Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
Richard Attenborough - Dunkirk
Christopher Lee - Horror Of Dracula
Robert Donat - The Inn Of The Sixth Happiness
Also what did you make to A Night to Remember, Louis?
I have not seen it in a long while, but I recall it being a pretty effective more down to earth retelling of the Titanic story.
I also liked 1953 version with a solid performance by Clifton Webb.
I should also say that the Titanic sinking is very well done in A Night to Remember, whereas the 1953 version looked like a childrens boat sinking in a bowl of soup =D.
I Second RatedRStar's Suggestions
Louis: What were your ratings & thoughts on
Clift & Brando in The Young Lions.
Douglas & Curtis in The Vikings
Kenneth Moore in A Night to Remember
Peter Cushing in Dracula
Clark Gable in Teacher's Pet
Toshiro Mifune in The Rickshaw Man
Paul Newman in The Long Hot Summer
What will be the next year.
What are your thoughts/ratings in Kerr in Seperate Tables, Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Maclaine in Some Came Running?
I would imagine it would be from either the 30S, the 40s or the 70s
He said just after the 61 supporting results, that he was either going to cover the 50's or 70's, so it will be the latter. I think Louis will do either 72' or 77' next.
=D if they ever remade The Rickshaw Man I think I know the perfect actor to play the lead role =D.
I should also say,
RIP Rik Mayall, one of Britain's greatest comedic performers, for classics such as Blackadder, Bottom, and The Young Ones.
RatedRStar: Same Here, I loved his Lord Flashheart, In what is my favourite British sitcom in Blackadder.
RIP Rik Mayall, I think his greatest acting performance was as Alan B'Stard in The New Statesman.
My winning request is
Armand Assante - Q & A (Best Supporting Actor 1990)
What are your ratings for
Ronald Colman in If I Were King
Joel McCrea in The More the Merrier
Robert Montgomery in Ride the Pink Horse
Van Heflin in Act of Violence
Montgomery Clift in The Heiress
Orson Welles in Othello
Dick Shawn in The Producers
Ted Neeley in Jesus Christ Superstar
Mel Gibson in The Road Warrior
Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball
Also, my winning request is Brendan Gleeson in The General for 1998 Lead.
Winning Request: Christian Bale for the Prestige
Please, please, PLEASE review Orson Welles' performance in The Long Hot Summer! That's one of my favorite films that never really gets talked about, and since you put Newman at #4, I'm guessing you have some level of regard for it.
By all means, review it alongside his work in Touch of Evil (which I'd argue for Lead, but to each their own), but I'd LOVE to hear your thoughts on it. He's just so much fun there.
Orson Welles - Touch Of Evil
Burl Ives - Cat On A Hot Tin Roof
Albert Salmi - The Brothers Karamazov
Bernard Blier in Les Miserables
Burl Ives in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Christopher Lee in Horror of Dracula
Orson Welles in Touch of Evil
No idea on any others.
The only performance I can think of that hasn't been suggested is Trevor Howard in The Key.
Luke:
Clift - 4(The only time where Brando and Clift are in the same film, and disappointingly they don't share a single scene. Clift gives a fairly interesting variation here on his performance in From Here to Eternity, once again as an abused soldier, but this time as a man with a weaker personality)
Brando - 2.5(The more performances I see from Brando the more that I see that when he's not great he's kinda lackluster. Brando whole look is bizarre, and his accent seems a bit forced especially when he's against Maximilian Schell. Most of all his performance is just so weakly passive all the time)
Douglas - 2.5(Douglas tries but his charm is unable to make his character at all likable. It seems everyone in the film, other than Ernest Borgnine, did not really find the right tone for their performance Douglas included)
Curtis - 2.5(Curtis has some somewhat solid moments later on his performance as the passionate hero, but when he's trying to act as the vengeful slave he's pretty bad)
Kenneth Moore - 3(As I recall he gave a solid enough performance as a man doing his duty)
Cushing - 3.5(There is almost nothing to the character of Van Helsing other than he knows about vampires and wants to stop them. Cushing though manages to be compelling as he does have a certain charm, and really does bring the appropriate passion in his portrayal)
Gable - 4.5(Gable might definitely look his age, but he does not show it in his performance. The amount of charm he brings here is just like the old days, and his comic timing couldn't be better here)
Mifune - 4.5(A rather different role in that his character is that of a "lowly" rickshaw driver rather than the more "important" men he tends to play. Mifune gives a good performance though in a more humble role really bringing a considerable warmth, and overall giving a rather moving portrayal)
Paul Newman - 4.5(Much like his work in Hud although does not quite reach the heights of that later performance. Newman though is terrific in bringing such considerable charisma while not avoiding in giving the right piercing quality to his character's more questionable qualities)
Ronald Colman - 4
Joel McCrea - 4.5
Robert Montgomery - 4
Van Heflin - 4.5
Montgomery Clift - 4
Orson Welles - 4.5
Dick Shawn - 4.5
Ted Neeley - 4.5
Mel Gibson - 4
Billy Bob Thornton - 4.5
Anonymous:
Kerr - 3.5(She hits the right notes as the story proceeds and creates the sensitive woman needed for the character. Her performance can be a little too overbearing at times than it needs to be though, and I think she could have mediated a little bit more between the phases of her character)
Taylor - 4.5(She's absurdly alluring her as she should be, and you know Newman's character would have to be gay to ignore her. She delivers past though effectively showing the slyness of her character as she plays the game. She also does well to play frustrations of her character with a fair amount of subtly as her character is repressing them most of the time)
MacLaine - 3.5(I think she served her purpose at being believably ditzy while having a certain charm. I do feel she chews the scenery though a little more than needed)
Louis, how in holy hell can you rate Steve McQueen in The Blob higher than Marlon Brandon in The Young Lions?
Of course I meant Brando
Mainly because I didn't think Brando was very good in The Young Lions. McQueen wasn't anything great either, but I still thought he managed to bring his trademark cool to the role even if severely reduced.
And that was the year Eli Wallach once again burned up the screen, this time in 'The Lineup'.
