Nicholson in OFOTCN an Christopher Walker in The Deer Hunter are Contenders but my favourite is James Cagney in White Heat.

I used to do a bit of amateur theatre years ago, but I always got the role of the con man or villain and I am really quite a nice chap.

Top of my list is the cameo role of Orson Welles in The Third Man. The setting, the glorious mood enhancing music and the film building to that first glimpse of him, shadowed in a doorway. There then follows a relatively brief but mesmeric and charismatic performance, climaxing in one of the great movie speeches of all time. Actors don't always have to fill the screen for two hours to make a lasting impression.

Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan and the Green Mile for me.

Incredible actor
Philadelphia?

Also, although not a film, I thought Hugh Grant was brilliant in A very English scandal.

There"ll probably be a few raised eyebrows with this nomination but the performance of Briditte Bardot in "La Verite" (The Truth) was outstanding and probably her most accomplished acting role. Proved beyond doubt that she was more than a mere "sex kitten".

....and here's the whole film with English subtitles. Brilliant film.
