Recently, my friend and I started listing our favorite performances in any movie. Before we knew it we had over 40 performances(all in the timespan of 5-10 minutes). I decided to list them and get some opinions. I am aware that it is impossible to really judge performnces, because of the broad range of performances, differnt kinds of performances (starring, or supporting), etc. So, I would like some opionions....
The most frequent actor was Kevin Spacey(4:American Beauty, The Usual Suspects, L.A. Condidential, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil). The movie that appears the most frequently is L.A. Confidential (Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce, Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger)...Tell me what you think....
