I was sort of hoping that Marcello Mastroianni would have make it into the top 5, but that's okay anyway. Glad Sordi is your number 2 spot, he was amazing in that movie. What are your thoughts and ratings on Shelley Winters in An Average Little Man, Sophia Loren in A Special Day and Diane Keaton in both Annie Hall and Looking for Mr. Goodbar? Lastly, do you think that Lily Tomlin is leading or supporting in The Late Show?
Maximillian Schell-Cross of Iron
Richard Attenborough-The Chess Players
James Mason-Cross of Iron
Dirk Bogarde-Providence
Also what were your ratings and thoughts for Paul Newman in Slap Shot, Robert Shaw and Bruce Dern in Black Sunday, and James Coburn in Cross of Iron?
Another Suggestion would be Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, Gene Hackman or Anthony Hopkins in A Bridge Too Far.
Amjad Khan - The Chess Players
Peter Cushing - Star Wars
Anthony Hopkins - A Bridge Too Far
Richard Attenborough - The Chess Players
James Mason - Cross Of Iron

Luke:
I find Cross of Iron to be quite terrific actually, and easily the best I've seen from Peckinpah so far. Although I would say a little bit of the action later on is slightly disjointed, many of the earlier sequences are quite remarkable. Beyond that though I love its portrait of the lives of the low ranking soldiers as well as the bitter officers brought to life beautifully by its great ensemble.
Ganz - 4.5(A harrowing bit of work from Ganz as he brings to life such an emotional poignancy to his character's severe desperation. Ganz is effective by giving such a powerfully honest portrayal of how a man in his situation could be driven to such measures)
Newman - 4(It's kinda a comic version of Hud as Newman doesn't mind playing unlikable yet because he's Paul Newman, he's still extremely likable. Newman has a great deal of fun portraying a particularly crude "inspiring" coach character)
Shaw - 4(Dern has the meatier role, but I feel Shaw does more with less. I have to admit loving seeing Shaw in a lead role as well as an action hero of sorts anyway, but he's good in the role as well. His performance is particularly cold for a hero, but it makes absolute sense for his character whose been involved in a war of vendettas for all too long. Shaw is very good though by showing the quiet reservations of his character but along with his usual intensity needed for such a killer. I particularly loved the look he gives the female terrorist at the end as his expression alone seemed to indicate her demise was inevitable)
Coburn - 4(Coburn is always so believable as a bad ass anyway, and just fits the role in that regard perfectly. Beyond that though Coburn usually is also so good in being able to infuse so much emotion in a single look. He does that here and a single close up by him can say so much)
Anonymous:
Winters - 5(An amazing performance. I loved her in the first half as she brought such genuine warmth and sweetness to her part. I especially loved her in the scene where the mother prays for her son. The first half of her performance makes the second half of her performance all the more heartbreaking. Her portrayal of the decaying of her character is incredibly moving, and her scene in the cabin was outstanding)
Loren - 4.5(Solid deglamorized performance from her. I quite enjoyed her unusual chemistry with Mastroianni here that moves from their casual friendship to a conflict of philosophy to the understanding of a mutual desperation at the end. Her role is technically cliched in many ways but I never allowed it to feel as such.)
Keaton - Annie Hall - 4.5(For me she is the best part of the film, which I don't love as a whole. I really do like her work a lot though as she makes Annie such a wonderful presence throughout the film, and acts as a great contrast to Allen's tightly wound performance)
I'd put Tomlin in lead.
Michael McCarthy:
Dern - 4(Preferred his performance as a deranged veteran here over his Oscar nominated one to be sure. Dern certainly has the right intensity in his scenes of the more overt madness, in his Bruce Dern sort of way. I find his best scenes though were his quieter ones, like when he goes to see his case worker, as he manages to be fairly affecting in portraying the actual loss that is behind his derangement)
Edward Fox - A Bridge Too Far
Clemens Scheitz - Stroszek
David Warner - Providence
Dirk Bogarde - Providence
James Mason - Cross of Iron
Maximilian Schell - Cross of Iron
Louis, I'd like to ask you, do you take away points from a performance if it's dubbed? I'm not really sure about what I'd do... I think you can't really give all the credit to the actor, but at the same time Shelley Winters was dubbed in An Average Little Man and yet I can't help but give her either a 4.5 or a 5... What do you think?
Anonymous:
I take it into consideration, and unless there is a dubbing with their actual voice I treat their work as kinda like a silent performance. This works particularly well for Winters since the second half of her performance was silent to begin with.
