All time iconic film performance's

[Eleanore L]

De Niro in The Raging Bull is a good one.

Joe Pesci in Casino.

I might get criticised for this one but Vinny Jones in lock stock also was quite iconic.

 

[dancerchickayana]

eh

 

[Lavern logel]

Me too - Add Scarface, Godfather one two and three, even in light hearted films like Frankie and Johnny he's good .

I liked Ed Norton and Brad Pitt in Fight Club

Johnny Depp in Ed Wood

Robert de Niro in Taxi Driver

Robert Duvall in Godfather 1 &2 and Apocalypse Now

Gina RowlanRAB in Gloria

the French actor who played Leon, name escapes me.

 

[livingthelife]

Jean Reno is the actor, and I agree, it was a storming performance.

 

[Hawraa]

Jack Nicholson - for both "The Shining" & "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest"

 

[quantum02us]

haha.. okay, you know i meant stone. kinda in ahurry typing that ahaha

 

[Spaceheart]

Eww...I just had a horrid mental image of Sylvester Stallone doing the leg scene

 

[BADBOY!!!]

Al Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon or The Godfather

Robert De Niro - Raging Bull

Edward Norton - Fight Club, American History X

 

[Xinfa J]

This will sound biased since it's my favourite film, but Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns has been called iconic, and I agree.

 

[Anish D]

one I forgot that I really enjoyed Peter Sellers in The Party, not sure if its iconic though

 

[HoosierAthlete]

She's not a patch on Julie Newmar's Catwoman from the 60s tv show

 

[LayVoa]

Also Peter Sellers in "Dr. Strangelove" ... Great performance..

How about Alec Guinness in The Ladykillers?

 

[Dark Enigma]

Jean Reno - Leon
Natalie Portman - Leon
Ed Norton - American History X
Jodi Foster - Taxi Driver
Robert De Nero - Taxi Driver
Spencer Tracey - Inherate the Wind

Say what you will but young Natalie & young Jodi were excellent in those roles IMO

 

[sara_jane_12]

I wouldnt say this was an iconic performance.

Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale for me was more iconic and Michael Keatn as Batman was more iconic, but I think Prince's soundtrack aided in this. Everything about this 'Batman' rocks!

 

[U.S.Hottie]

Orson Welles as Harry Lime in 'The Third Man'.

Perhaps the most iconic performance ever.

 

[Chris80]

Apart from the fact that in that film Harvey Dent was played by Billy Dee Williams, a fact they forgot when they got round to the 3rd film

 

[bugz =)]

Humphrey Bogart - Casablanca.

And pretty much everything else he made IMHO.

 

[Kenii]

Michael Caine in 'Alfie', 'The Ipcress File', 'The Italian Job' and 'Get Carter'. And almost everything else he has ever made (barring 'The Island').

 

[saxy]

I would like to nominate Bob Hoskins in the Long Good Friday
Jane Fonda in Klute
Iconic, unforgettable.
