    My top 10 acting
    1.Jack Nicholson (One flew over cuckoo's nest)
    2.Marlon Brando(The Godfather)
    3.Daniel Day Lewis(Gangs of Newyork)
    4.Al Pacino (The Godfather)
    5.Robert de niro(The Raging bull)

    7.Heath Ledger(The dark Knight)
    8.Tom Hanks ( Forest Gump)
    9.Denzel Washington (The Trainor)

    • @ricardocorreia2542
      @ricardocorreia2542 8 років тому

      Philip Seymour Hoffman has the Best performance of all time in Capote
      Robert Duvall in Tender Mercies
      Ledger and Di Caprio are good, but not in the top 10
      And Denzel in Training Day is purely overacting

  • @bigglesworth06
    @bigglesworth06 7 років тому +3

    Every one of you have great movies listed. This is a difficult list to make , simply because of the vast array of genres. It's just simply too subjective. Having said that... I do believe Brando deserves #1. I also believe that it's a fairly one sided list ( I'm a moderate male btw). Ellen Burstyn in "Requiem For A Dream" is about as good as they come.

      +Ramsey Brown I honestly don't know what is so great about Nicholson. I think he's very good, but I always see him being listed as the greatest actor of all time, and I just don't see it.

    • @1212films
      @1212films 8 років тому +1

      Funny, I hear people say that from time to time. I think its just opinion. He gives very big performances (as does Pacino) so its very easy to give them much credit, but there is often a very menacing truth to Nicholson's performances, and very iconoclastic. I think having immense truth in your work coupled with being stylistically iconoclastic paves the way for being a top tier actor.

      Oscar is the definition of defining an actor, with that being said not winning doesn't define you as well becuase some years multiple people deserve the oscar, Russell Crowe in my opinion is one of the greatest actors of all time and portrayed one of the greatest performances of all time in Gladiator.

    @robertm7889 8 місяців тому

    Two huge problems with this list male acting performances only and there isn't a single performance from anyone prior to 1972 the Godfather.
    Meryl Streep, Alec Guiness, Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Orson Wells, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford all have performances better than most of this list. That sais I agree with your number 1 and 2 they clearly belong on any list of all time performances, but would put DeNiro in Raging Bull as the greatest ever followed by Meryl Streep in Sophies Choice and Brando in the Godfather.

      @fudgyboo 7 років тому +1

      Are you claiming that the crazier one acts the better the performance? It's about being truthful. Ledger's Joker was phenomenal but you can't say that Brando gave a worse performance. They are two different roles. Besides these clips are just clips. The ranking is based on their performance in the movie as a whole and the clips are just examples from those movies.

    Laurence Olivier and Brando r the two greatest actors of all time Pacino deniro Hoffman Nicholson would say that Brando's the greatest.

    • @ericday4505
      @ericday4505 7 років тому

      Brando is most certainly the best actor ever, his performance here with Vito Corleone was for me my favorite for personal reasons, his On Thee Waterfront and Streetcar may have been all around better, but he is the very best, followed by as you say Olivier.

    • @fudgyboo
      @fudgyboo 7 років тому

      Are you kidding Daniel Day-Lewis is considered to be one of the best actors and that is evidenced by him having won three Best Actor Oscars. No one else has won three. Not even Brando. That doesn't make him better, but you can't say that he is not one of the greats.

    • @ericday4505
      @ericday4505 7 років тому

      Daniel Day Lewis is indeed to be mentioned with these two, as is Deniro and Hanks, maybe even Washington, but my thought is that none of them are as good as the two I mentioned. BTW Lewis in, "There Will Be Blood" was outstanding, to me his best performance yet.

    Your opinion is cool, but there’s some things I’d like to say about a few choices..
    Rain Man was great, and Hoffman was terrific, but I think time has shown that the truly phenomenal performance in that film was Tom Cruise.. Raymond doesn’t change, Charlie does.. Same with Hopkins, it was Foster’s performance that was legendary, IMO.. Same with Nicholson and Ellen Burstyn..
    Just a few thoughts.. And check out Lawrence of Arabia and Peter O’Toole’s performance.. Because it doesn’t get better than that..

    • @judewilliams4767
      @judewilliams4767 2 роки тому

      Agree Tom Cruise equally great as Dustin Hoffman, hoffman’s performance was mostly Oscarbait but it’s considered to be one of the greatest acting performances.
      Also De Niro and joe Pesci are dynamite together both share the screen with great chemistry and acting

  • @rollotomassi4768
    @rollotomassi4768 8 років тому

    Such a subjective thing to have a top ten. IMO, Training Day isn't even Denzel's best performance. Russell Crowe in the Insider is a much better performance than Gladiator. How do you pick Daniel Day Lewis best performance. He has so many. Also, you screweed the pooch, when you included Gump. Worst movie to win best picture.

  • @emailatomic
    @emailatomic 2 роки тому

    What's even more amusing on this list is he has several of the same films on his modern list. But he has Joker as Number 1 on his modern list above There Will Be Blood. But Joker is at the bottom of this list well below Daniel Day Lewis. Its clear this guy is young and hasn't seen enough films yet.
