It looks like I'm the only one, but I loved him as Gabriel in the Prophecy. And whatshisface as Satan was a great performance as well.

Ed Glosser: Trivial Psychic from SNL (which, I'm told, is a spoof of "The Dead Zone").

Every one! He's been incredible in every role I've seen him in. king of New York, would have been unwatchable with another actor in the lead.
there should be an all of the above/Add More category.

there is no love at all it seems for The Addiction. a very small but powerful role as an experienced vampire is classic...I think. still not on dvd.

I'd put those 3 above or at least as good as any in the poll.

Dead Zone. But since it's not there, I voted for "Catch Me If You Can" because I think it's the first time I've seen him so fragile and vulnerable. Usually he's a pretty confident tough guy.

I think a lot of his characters are very, very similar set in different environments. I mean, he plaid a freakin gangster in "Joe Dirt"
"You're talking to my guy all wrong..."
and also gotta get in a vote for:
Suicide Kings (1997) .... Carlo Bartolucci/Charlie Barret

I think this is the toughest poll I've ever seen. Because the guy is great in everything and it's tough to single out one performance. Hell, so many great one's weren't even included on the list!
Hats off to those who mentioned "Brainstorm". I love this film. And didn't think anyone rememberd it but me. Kind of tough to watch knowing the circumstances around the movie and it almost not getting finished (or released).
