      +Connor Harte Him, Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) and Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) for truly SUPERB portrayals of individuals suffering from mental problems/disorders.
      I have yet to come across a person portraying a disorder who does it so skillfully as these three.

    Not a single actor mentioned here in top 25 can come even close to Robert De Niro for his performance in Raging bull. Forget Raging Bull, not a single actor can think of surpassing him . Such is our Bobby. Hands down , the greatest ever..!!

    • @neelabhraroy4238
      @neelabhraroy4238 6 років тому

      aman gajraj Firstly, De Niro should have either tied with or lost to John Hurt that year. Secondly, as far as this list is concerned, Brando in on the Waterfront and Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird were better.

    I like your list. I was lucky enough to see most of these actors in their winning films. Daniel Day Lewis was great in There Will Be Blood but you forgot another Daniel Day Lewis movie where he also won an Oscar, My Left Foot which for me is the greatest performance by an actor on screen.You also forgot F. Murray Abraham who also won Best Actor in Amadeus.

I work hard at selecting the music to go with the imagery, as I like having the goosebump effect of remembering great film works. The music at the end is "Creep" (Live) from the Social Network soundtrack, one of my favorites. Be sure to check out my 25 Greatest Films to Win Best Picture- new video, needs more traffic! Let me know what you think. Link to video is provided in the description of this one.

I realize this is 8 years later but I just discovered this absolute gem of a video and I can thank you enough for creating it and putting it out there in the universe, as it’s a better place with the video in it. I suffer from depression and anxiety and whenever that flares up, I put on this video and it assuages my symptoms quickly and dramatically. On a separate note, I just looked up “Creep” from the “Social Network” soundtrack and according to iTunes, it doesn’t actually exist. May I ask if that was an error? Could it be from another source? Thank you.

    • @contractmed1
      @contractmed1 6 місяців тому

      That might be my number one pick. Although I am not a fan of New Hollywood movies "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is by far my favorite movie of the era, and easily one of my top ten, maybe even top five favorite movies of all time.

  • @tahmeedchowdhury0007
    @tahmeedchowdhury0007 8 років тому +3

    This list is very good! However, I would include F.Murray Abraham's amazing work in Amadeus, Alec Guinness's career best in The Bridge on the River Kwai and William Hurt's work in Kiss of The Spider Woman.

    Brando in Godfather 'mannered, silly' OK big guy. Any other actor would have hammed it up and turned the 'gangster' into a cartoonish villain. He completely played against that and created a the most softly spoken, family-orientated boss who never raised his voice and consequently was even more terrifying and realistic. He was genius.

    • @contractmed1
      @contractmed1 6 місяців тому

      I'll have to disagree with you there. There is a difference between being subtle yet intimidating and being downright underwhelming. Brando in "The Godfather" and frankly any other role of his was definitely more of the latter.

    Some performances that you did not include that you should have were Spencer Tracy in "Captain's Courageous" (1937), Ernest Borgnine in "Marty" (1955), Burt Lancaster in "Elmer Gantry" (1960), and Henry Fonda in "On Golden Pond" (1981).
    Though I am glad that you included Spencer Tracy in "Boys Town" (1938), James Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942), Gregory Peck in "To Kill A Mockingbird" (1962), Sidney Poitier in "Lilies Of The Field" (1963), Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), and Tom Hanks in "Forrest Gump" (1994).

  • @phil2875
    @phil2875 11 років тому +1

      He's done great performances but his victory for 'Scent of a Woman' is considered one of the Academy's most underwhelming recognitions. He just didn't win the Oscar for the right role.

  • @jgowin66
    @jgowin66 10 років тому +1

    This is a very well-studied list, and I agree with most of the picks with a few differences. I would have Peck, as Atticus Finch at the very top, and would have fit Ronald Colman, in "A Double Life" in there somewhere. So many of these same actors gave great performances that did not win, Spencer Tracy MANY times over, and Denzil in "Malcolm X" and "Philadelphia." Bogie in "Casablanca" and "Treasure of the Sierra Madre," etc. Thanks for putting this together. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

  • @philiphalpenny9761
    @philiphalpenny9761 6 років тому +1

    Hanks as Forrest Gump is among the worst rewarded by the academy! Try reconciling that with the fact that Mitchum, always impeccable, never recieved the statue. Great to see Cagney on the list, but where was Robert Duvall? Charles Laughton? All lists are arbitrary, i know but seriously...

  • @pdndpm
    @pdndpm 4 роки тому +1

    18 minutes Anthony Hopkins was onscreen for 118/minutes. This is not to. Say he didn’t deserve it. I am saying he delivered the most memorable performance in just 18 minutes.

  • @jeffreymilano7607
    @jeffreymilano7607 11 років тому +1

    Kudos to Jason - great job putting this list together!
    I feel the following have to be added somewhere:
    - Russell Crowe in Gladiator
    - Jack Nicholson in As Good As it Gets
    - Robert Duvall in Tender Mercies
    - Paul Newman - The Color of Money
    - Lee Marvin in Cat Ballou
    To make room I would delete the following:
    - Peter Finch (I feel he only won because he died that year!)
    - Richard Dreyfuss
    - Jeremy Irons
    - Colin Firth
    - Denzel Washington
    Thanks for making this wonderful list!

    He's beyond great in raging bull and the thing is his paranoia of his wife cheating on him and how he cant be close to anyone, not even his own brother .. he reallly showed great acting when he''s crying about how he threw the fight in the lockerroom.

  • @bailinnumberguy
    @bailinnumberguy 9 років тому +3

    Very good list. Hard to argue w/ any on it. My list would have Brando-On the Waterfront and De Niro-Raging Bull (1)(1a) among Oscar winners. My best performance of all time would be for a part that didn't win an Oscar: Dustin Hoffman - Midnight Cowboy. Incredible performance in that film.

    • @contractmed1
      @contractmed1 6 місяців тому

      My favorite performance of all time is that of Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946). He lost to Fredric March in "The Best Years of Our Lives" but I still love Fredric March and his performance in that film, but "It's a Wonderful Life" is my favorite movie of all time and Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor of all time. If I had to pick my favorite winner, I would probably settle for Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), my favorite New Hollywood film and one of my top ten, maybe even top five favorite movies of all time, and Jack Nicholson is my favorite actor who is currently still alive.

  • @96speechless

    Interesting selections! Personally, I would not put Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump nearly as high on the list, but I was very glad to see Anthony Hopkins for Hannibal Lecter very high on this list. If you're considering Best Supporting Actors as possibilities on this list (such as Denzel Washington), then I would recommend thinking of Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in "No Country for Old Men." Also, I love the music!

      Anthony Ogans No. The role of Hannibal Lector was a lead role. He was the male lead of that film. Buffalo Bill was the supporting character. Just because he isn't on screen for the whole damn movie, doesn't mean he isn't a lead. It's not that hard to understand.

  • @tracydavis8982

    • @contractmed1

    What about Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind? I can't imagine his performance being lesser than that of Sean Penn in Harvey Milk. In my opinion, Sean maximized his character's potential in Mystic River than he did in Milk. Regardless, I like how inclusive your nominees were and your expertise being more credible than a contemporary, substandard dummy. Thanks for the video.

    Generally a well thought out list, not like many of these "lists" that seem to be made up by people of extremely low intellect. Many people believe that DDL in There Will Be Blood gave the greatest performance by a male actor of all time. Certainly greater than 11th. Ben Kingsley in Ghandi was well ranked. So was Nicholson in Cuckoo's Nest, which for a long time was considered by many to be the best American movie ever made.
    Damn good list, respect to you for your insights.
