All time iconic film performance's

Thanks lol, thought it was about time someone put in some performances that people are old enough to remember being at the cinema rather than the cliche's that have been thrown about on this thread
 
Pfft :rolleyes: The 1960s Batman ruined the image for nearly 30 years!!



She was a Lois Lane wannabe! Ran around screaming throughout the movie!!

Michelle Pfeiffer wore that costume and deserved an oscar for her performance! :p
 
I think Stallone in Rocky and Nicholson in One flew over the Cookoo's nest are the two the stick out from those mentioned. Burgess Meredith's performance in Rocky was also pretty iconic.

Denziel Washington in Glory
Arnold Schwarzeneger in Terminator
Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboy.
Henry Fonda in 12 angry men.
 
Jamie Leigh Curtis-Hallowe'en
Alicia Silverstone-Clueless
Arnold Schwarzenneger-Terminator
Neve Campbell-Scream
Michael J Fox-Back To the Future
 
Fair enough... Let's wind the clock back... Had a dig through my videos and dvd's last night... Found a couple more worth mentioning..

Paul Newman in The Hustler

Diane Keaton in Annie Hall ... Woody Allen's also great in it, but I think it's the film that made her a star

John Cusack in Say Anything

Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller's Day Off
 
Morgan Freeman - shawshank redemption
Jack Nicholson - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
River Phionix(sp) - stand by me
Tom Hank - Green Mile (and the big guy - cant think of his name)
 
Double Indemnity - Barbra Stanwick
All About Eve - Bette Davis
Faye Dunaway - As Joan Crawford in Momma Dearest - NO MORE WIRE HANGERS - great effing line
Clint Eastwood - Dirty Harry
Gene Hackman - French Connection
Gloria Swanson - Sunset Boulevard - superb!
Bette Davis - Now Voyager - in fact damn mear anything she did - my favourite actress of all time
John Wayne - The Searchers
Gary Cooper - High Noon - forget Grace Kelly!
Shirley McClaine - The Apartment - very progressive for its time

Liza Minelli in "Cabaret".....and I know she's being slagged off at the moment in another thread for her ghastly appearance on Parkinson, but you can't take it away from the girl, she was,simply, magnificent.
