Best Scene: Ajax is caught.
4. Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now-Brando earns the build up to his character and gives a fascinating depiction of a man lost in his delusions of grandeur.
Best Scene: "An errand boy"
3. Michael Palin in Life of Brian- Palin creates several hilarious characters particularly a not particularly commanding Pontius Pilate, and a particularly pleasant Centurion.
Best Scene: The guard sends men on their way to the cross.
2. Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now- Hopper, despite not even giving a name, creates a fascinating depiction, worthy of his own film, of a burn out who has discovered an odd sort of faith.
Best Scene: Photojournalist greets Willard.
1. Ian Holm in Alien- Holm gives an excellent performance, which is amplified all the more by the terrific ensemble around him, of a rather unique deception and a particularly chilling depiction of a unique sort of evil.
Best Scene: Ash's final message.

I can't really find any suggestion for 1942 except for Tim Holt in The Magnificent Ambersons even if I personally didn't like him all that much (Moorehead for me stole the movie). Off-topic, but what your ratings and thoughts on Gloria Grahame in Crossfire and Thelma Ritter in Pickup on South Street?
Tim Holt - The Magnificent Ambersons
Cary Grant - Talk Of The Town
Ronald Colman - Talk Of The Town
Joel McCrea - The Palm Beach Story
Errol Flynn - Gentleman Jim
LOUIS =( Marcelino Sanchez, how could you? lol.
How would you rate the female supporting nominees that year (except for Wright) and what are your thoughts on them?
A few suggestions:
Joel McCrea- The Palm Beach Story
Noël Coward- In Which We Serve
Alan Ladd-This Gun for Hire
Tyrone Power-The Black Swan
George Sanders- The Moon and Sixpence
Robert Cummings- Saboteur
Noel Coward - In Which We Serve
Tim Holt - The Magnificent Ambersons
Joel McCrea - The Palm Beach Story
Cary Grant - Talk of The Town
Errol Flynn - Gentleman Jim
Huh. I was convinced you'd rank Tambor bottom for the year. As fro 1942, I got nothing.
Robert: Perhaps I was being too kind thinking of his work in Arrested Development rather than his very odd work in that film. Looking at my ranking, yeah he's too high.
Yeah, I like him as an actor too, but he was WAY too over-the-top in AJFA.
Maybe you didn't see my question, but what are your ratings and thoughts on Gloria Grahame in Crossfire and Thelma Ritter in Pickup on South Street?
RatedRStar: Was Michael Fassbender Lead or Supporting in Frank.
Chishu Ryu - There Was a Father
Pierre Fresnay - The Murderer Lives at Number 21
Alan Ladd - This Gun for Hire
Henry Fonda - The Big Street
@Luke: I would say he could be placed in either category, since Domhnall Gleeson is technically the character we the audience follows, but Fassbender is the character that the film itself is mainly about, it helps that both Domhnall and Fassbender has a large amount of screentime together, so either.
Louis: Your top ten films of 1979.
Anonymous: No I did not miss your comment I just had to do something, and only had time to quickly answer Robert's.
Haven't seen Ritter.
Graham - 3.5(She's entirely solid enough in that I find she meets the requirements of being a sultry yet deceitful woman. I never find her character or her performance ever becomes all that compelling though)
Anonymous2?:
Cooper - 4(Cooper is one of the experts at being extremely cold and bitter well still being quite a commanding presence. She fulfills her role incredibly well and a re-watch could possibly improve my rating of her)
Whitty - 3(A bit like Henry Travers in the same film. She does well enough with what she is given, but there is never anything that spectacular to be found in her performance. Good but still somewhat forgettable)
Peters - 2.5(A character easy to hate in the scheme of the film and Peters doesn't really do much to stop that. She's not really terrible or anything though. Her performance and character just seems to be a fairly unremarkable detour between the film and its happy ending)
Luke:
1. Alien
2. Apocalypse Now
3. Nosferatu the Vampyre
4. The Warriors
5. Escape From Alcatraz
6. Life of Brian
7. Breaking Away
8. Rocky II
9. Wise Blood
10. The In-Laws
RatedRStar: Your thoughts on Netherlands-Argentina.
@Luke: A pretty dull affair with both teams being a bit too negative and nervous, that said, Germany V Argentina in the final, I hope Germany win, they are a better team in general, Germany eliminated Argentina in the last 2 world cups, I expect it to be a third elimination, I expect The Netherlands to beat Brazil also.
Noel Coward in In Which We Serve
Tim Holt in The Magnificent Ambersons
Alan Ladd in This Gun for Hire
Joel McCrea in The Palm Beach Story
Others:
Jack Benny in To Be or Not to Be
Ronald Reagan in Kings Row
Spencer Tracy in Woman of the Year
Would it be possible to switch one of my winning requests?
Robert: Yes of course.
I'd like to change Linus Roache in the Wings of the Dove to Al Pacino in Donnie Brasco from the same year and category. I still love Roache's performance, but Pacino became my win since then and I wasn't sure if you'd review him given the crowded field.
Louis, who would you say are some of your favourite "One-Scene Wonders"?
Please refrain from giving thoughts on performances you haven't reviewed yet (i.e. Spacey in Se7en).
If you do't mind, thoughts on ratings on the following performances:
Sonny Chiba, Lucy Liu and Uma Thurman in Kill Bill Vol 1
Uma Thurman, Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah in Vol 2 (leaving aside Carradine just in case you decide to review him)
Daniel Day-Lewis in The Bounty
Also just watched Richard Attenbourgh in "Brighton Rock" and as a massive Greene fan, he was amazing in bringing out the character of Pinkie. What are your ratings/thoughts on the rest of the cast; and on another note, Attenbourgh would have made for a fascinating Maurice Bendrix and the 'whisky priest' if adaptations had been made of these Greene novels respectively in the 50s and 70s.
Matt: I'll go with strictly one scene wonders, no one scene and change like McConaughey in Wolf or one major scene like Yamazaki in High and Low.
Montgomery Clift - Judgment At Nuremberg
Dean Stockwell - Blue Velvet
Donald Sutherland - JFK
Alec Baldwin - Glengarry Glen Ross
Wilford Brimley - Absence of Malice
Ed Harris - Snowpiercer
William Hurt - A History of Violence
Christopher Walken - Pulp Fiction
Dean Stockwell - Tucker: A Man and His Dream
Orson Welles - A Man For All Seasons
Anonymous:
Sonny Chiba - 4(A re-watch could move him up. Chiba reminds me of Toshiro Mifune here, which is definitely a very good thing. He's enjoyable in his comic first scene, but then he really brings the utmost conviction in his delivery of his dramatic moments following it)
Lucy Liu - 3.5(She has a couple odd line readings here and there but for the most part she brings a very cold and palatable menace to her role)
Uma Thurman - I(She great at being an action hero and intense bad ass in the first film. She also manages to be effective in the film's few quiet scenes as well showing that there are some truly strong emotions that are driving the Bride in her vicious revenge)
Uma Thurman - II(An interesting reprise that stresses the emotional aspects of her character more than the bad ass side. Thurman adapts well giving a thoroughly moving portrayal, and also is very good in the flashbacks scenes in creating the different phases of the bride before her ill-fated day in the church)
Daryl Hannah - 4(Hannah is often a bit of an awkward actress, and has given some truly bad performances. She's really quite good here though in being just such a vicious uncompromising portrayal of her villain)
Madsen is not entirely out of the question.
Daniel Day-Lewis - 4(It's technically not that much of a role but Day-Lewis still makes such an impact with the incredible intensity he brings to his role. Although the film at times could care less about his character, Day-Lewis makes you care by realizing him extremely honestly despite his somewhat limited screen time)
Brighton Rock:
Yeah Attenborough was fantastic.
Baddeley - 4(Brings the right daffiness to the role without making her character into just a caricature either. She manages through the slight absurdity of her character to bring out some very much needed genuine heart in the film)
Marsh - 3.5(I've heard some saying she was miscast since she was to pretty. That perhaps may be true, but I still felt she did a fine job of honestly releazing her character's naivety)
Hartnell - 3.5(Brief and fairly limited yet he still managed to make his presence known enough to make an effective and believable portrayal of basically his character slowly building up to the point where he's just not going to take on of Pinkie's nonsense anymore)
If Carradine doesn't win 2004 Supporting, I'm going to cry.
Louis, have you seen the documentary 'Listen To Me Marlon?
