Best film each has appeared in?

For me: The Lion in Winter (Hopkins): Sid and Nancy (Oldman).

TTJ

Honorable mention: True Romance (Oldman).

Sid and Nancy is one of those movies that I don't want to watch, can't stand to watch, yet always end up watching it when I see it on. It makes my skin crawl but I can't look away.

Anthony Hopkins sounds like a bad ass at all times. Which is hard for a Brit

Good movie, overrated performance. I guess it was creative and original at the time.

Agree. Oldman pulled the wannabe role off just well enough not to be a bother IMO. He was not one of the highlight performances in that flick. There were too many others that shined:

Patricia Arquette
Walken
Hopper
Pitt
Gandolfini
Pinchot
Penn
Sizemore
Rubinek
Rappaport

Even perpetually yawning, trying-to-be-too-cool Slater was solid to good.
