Name a famous actor and actress and their greatest film performance

[meltzerboy]

For me, two of the best are Spencer Tracy in “Inherit the Wind” and Bette Davis in “Of Human Bondage.”

Another tough one, I know.

So my second pick is Charles Laughton in “Mutiny on the Bounty” and Faye Dunaway in “Bonnie and Clyde.”

And yours?

Why don’t you start a movie game? One person names a movie and its male and female stars and the next person has to name a movie one of them was in. I’ve played it before. It’s fun!

Gloria Swanson Sunset Boulevard
Bette Davis All About Eve
But I also agree about Judy in TWOO

John Wayne True Grit
James McAvoy Atonement (random I know but he conveys so much emotion in this film)

 

[tomarin]

William Holden in ‘Sunset Boulevard.’ And Gloria Swanson in ‘Sunset Boulevard,’

 

[rfournier103]

Sylvester Stallone AND Talia Shire in “Rocky” (The first one. NOT the sequels) I think it was the best work EITHER of them have ever done.

Mel Gibson in “Braveheart”

Harvey Keitel in “Cop Land” (I also LOVED him in “U-571”)

George C. Scott in “Patton”

I have never known a remake of such a popular movie to come of so surprisingly well.

Oh, for a change of pace

[MrZoom]

Harrison Ford - either Witness or The Fugitive, take your pick (he was nominated for a Golden Globe for both roles)

But Godzilla is even better although he can’t sing.

 

[meltzerboy]

Harrison Ford - either Witness or The Fugitive, take your pick (he was nominated for a Golden Globe for both roles)

Both are great films: “The Fugitive” is very exciting and “Witness” is more subtle.

 

[meltzerboy]

“The Quiet Man” with John Wayne and Maurine O’Hara

Indeed this is perhaps the greatest John Wayne performance.

Jimmy Stewart in* It’s a Wonderful Life*

Bing Crosby Going My Way

Richard Burton The Robe

I think “It’s a Wonderful Life” is the best feel-good movie of all time.
