Arnie - KINDERGARTEN COP

Frances McDormand
William H Macey
Steve Buscemi - all 3 for FARGO

Christopher Guest - WAITING FOR GUFFMAN
(the greatest portrayal of an overtly gay character by a straight actor ever?)

Richard Burton in The Medusa Touch: a truly disturbing film.

Liz taylor. Cleopatra. Yeah overdramatic but I watched it. They really don't make movies to that scale anymore.

Oh yeah, peter sellers was his best in Dr. Strangelove.

Christopher lee, i'd say the man with the golden gun.

Malcolm McDowell, a clockwork Orange.

I watched some of it on TCM last night too... mainly because COFFY came on after it (CLEOPATRA is an exceedingly long Hollywood movie). In his few scenes, RODDY McDOWALL sure chews up the scenery. I think ELIZABETH TAYLOR's best movie is WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?.

JACKIE BROWN is definitely her best acting job; in COFFY it's clear she couldn't act. I don't care; it's an absolute favorite!

COFFY is a classic among classics. One of the best action movies of all time.
