BEST FILM BY AN ACTOR

[RCMerchant]

We got worst- howzabout BEST?

.Charles Laughton- the HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (1939) I love Chaney's version- but dam.
.Bogie- the MALTESE FALCON (1941)- I mean, c'mon. He does the hand and lip twitch thing.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show - Tim Curry was born to play Frank N Furter.

I would agree with that. He was also very good in PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID (1973).

PAUL NEWMAN (since I covered his WORST) his BEST: HUD (1963)

I think Sean connery's best movie was Zardoz.

It's a good thing Dr.Menard isn't  here.

Mel Gibson gets a lot of recognition for BRAVEHEART, but honestly, I think he really showed better acting chops in THE PATRIOT.
Love that film!!

Awright- you knew this was comin, I reckon-
Bela Lugosi- DRACULA (1931)
Yeah- I know in the the long run, it was a mediocre film at best. But Just because Lugosi was in it makes it classic. When a little kid imitates Dracula- he don't do Lee or Carradine, he does the Lugosi voice. Lugosi IS Dracula. And he only did it on screen twice! Compare that to Sir Christopher Lee, who did it 9 times.

.Jimmy Cagney- WHITE HEAT
.Bette Davis- dam that's hard! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE?
.Jerry Lewis- Hmm. I can't think of one f**king movie...OH! KING OF COMEDY I guess...
.Lon Chaney Sr.- the UNKNOWN. Dam. If you have never seen this movie-my gawd. Chaney acts with his feet. With his toes,man  
.Lon Chaney Jr. in OF MICE AND MEN. So heartbreaking. Innocence lost because of the scheming of scumbags.

LUGOSI's iconic role is definitely DRACULA.
I am inclined to argue that his BEST film might be THE BLACK CAT or THE RAVEN.

Lugosi's role I laughed at the mistwas "chandu the mystic".
