Re: Best Acting performance of the 80's?
I consider Meryl Streep's performance in Sophie's Choice to be the best ever captured on film, so that one.

Re: Best Acting performance of the 80's?
OP here... sorry to present such a haphazard poll. I certainly left off a lot of great performances, but the hour was late and at least I included the "other" option. -wink-

Re: Best Acting performance of the 80's?
I'm guessing a lot of you haven't seen My Left Foot? Because if you've seen it, you know it's one of the greatest performances not just of the 80's but of all-time.

Re: Best Acting performance of the 80's?
This one gets a nod from me even though there are a few others I might put in front of this, but still, very underappreciated performance.

https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/im...z0jttayx_xrE9Q I honestly was about to mention this performace. Harrison Ford is scary and completely convincing in this role. An underrated Peter Weir film and by far Ford's most underrated and overlooked performance. |

People always say 'Witness' was his best but I've always thought this performance and his in 'Frantic' were better.
Wish he still took roles that demanded ANYTHING at all. Sad really. |

Glenn Close in Dangerous Liaisons. Just a stunning performance on all levels.

And we all know that Poindexter is by far, the best nerd! |
Re: Best Acting performance of the 80's?
I voted De Niro in Raging Bull, but I'd seriously put Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard and Bill Paxton as Chet in Weird Science in my top 10.

Re: Best Acting performance of the 80's?
I chose Donald Sutherland- Ordinary People because I just recently re-watched it and loved how he handled the role, especially the night confession of his doubts about Mary Tyler Moore.
