A continuation of my "Modern" series. Comments will be coming soon. These performances are limited from 1993 onwards.
Honorable Mentions
John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich - Taking what could be a meta joke and creating a great performance.
Catharine Zeta-Jones in Chicago - Disagree with me if you will, but she knocked me on the floor.
Andy Serkis in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - A revolutionary performance that will grwo with time.
Tom Cruise in Magnolia - His cocky posturing was not just a great send-up of his public persona, it was also a captivating screen performance.
Julianne Moore in Magnolia - An angry turn that doesn't seem overly familiar, Julianne Moore rarely dissapoints.
great list- i agree with all of those.
bill murray was great in rushmore
i met someone once who said : 'what was murray thinking agreeing to rushmore' [i had to hold back from hitting them!]
