The Best Best Actors

16 February 2009 6:55 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

A list like this is highly subjective; there's no way around it. But I think we can all say that some bests are better than others. How many of us would argue that Rex Harrison gave one of the greatest performances ever in My Fair Lady? Exactly. Don't make me bring up Roberto Benigni...

So ranking the best Best Actors involves an awful lot of conjecture. There are a couple on our list that might not be as high on your list and vice versa, but the real question is how well this year's winner - whether it's Sean Penn or Mickey Rourke - stacks up against the others. On first glance, I've gotta say the advantage goes to history in this case.

1 - Robert De Niro - Raging Bull (1980)

Without a doubt, this is the most significant performance in one of the most significant acting careers of the 20th century. »

- Colin Boyd
