Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange - agree 100%.

Here's a couple of odd ones I feel were great:

Mickey Rourke - Barfly
Val Kimner - Tombstone

State of Play - The original British mini series, NOT the Russell Crow movie. John Simm, fantastic!
Di Caprio and Depp in What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

THAT was the worlds worst movie ever unless you include SciFi TV movies under budgeted and over acted.
Overall I somewhat agree but if you just look at the interaction between the main 2 characters and the events as they transpire...they did a good job...I didn't like the original much but the remake surprised me.

There is nothing worse than a SciFi channel B-movie...

Good call.

Ewan McGregor - Trainspotting
Sam Rockwell- Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (you'd think he really was Chuck Barris)
Stephen Rea - Citizen X (if you get a chance, see it)
Tom Hanks - Road to Perdition (he's great in a lot, but playing a bad guy was too cool)

Man I loved Trainspotting!  I'd read the book and was just waiting for the movie to come out.  McGregor was great, and how about Robert Carlyle as Begby, that dude was outstanding!  Shallow Grave was a really great movie too, same director/producer if I remember right.

Citizen X was really good too, and Rea was great in it.  He just seemed so oppressed by the powers that be working against him catching Chikatilo.

I agree with you on Perdition too, underrated movie if you ask me.

All fantastic choices but no one has mentioned what comedy due to acting.  My choice for that would be "It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world"  Huge cast and hilarious!

For comedy due to acting (of course Goodman as Walter was in a sort of a comedy) I'd have to go with anything Peter Sellers ever did.  That guy was simply unbelievable!

yup, without Depp and Del Toro as the leading characters the film probably would have been a tragic episode ruining a great writer's book. But i think they both pulled it off with class, Depp especialy.
