I was gonna mention him.


Ellen Burstyn in "Exorcist"

Robert Shaw in "Jaws"...maybe not Oscar worthy but his "Quint" was definitely a memorable character.

i enjoyed Chris Sarandons performance in Fright Night more than Roddy McDowells .. although it was nice to see him in the flick ...

Nicole Kidman was pretty sharp in The Others

Have you read the novel that Angel Heart was based on? While it may have been far from his best performance, DeNiro was the perfect actor to play Cyphre. He moves, speaks and acts exactly as Cyphre should. I am a big fan of the the and read it long before seeing the movie. One of few adaptions that didnt disapoint, and IMO the best part was the casting. They hit dead on the money with everyone, especially Rourke and DeNiro.
