The Top 5 Steve Buscemi Performances

Top 5 Steve Buscemi Performances
Warning: May have some Spoilers

Steve Buscemi is one of those odd actors who play the quirky weird characters in movies. Even though this is the case, he can dominate the screen whenever on it. This doesn't happen often so the need to celebrate it when it does happen is high. 

Steve Buscemi never gets enough love, only 1 Golden Globe, and not even an Oscar nomination. That in it of itself should be worth jail time, okay not really. All I am trying to say is that steve Buscemi has definitely earned at least one in my mind, his characters are always easy to remember and often the best of the films. So without further ado, the top 5 Steve Buscemi performances.

Top 10 Favorite Best Actor Oscar Winners of All Time

Top 10 Favorite Best Actor Oscar Winners

When reading this post keep in mind that these are my personal favorite Best Actor Oscar Winners, not necessarily the best. If it were a best list it would probably be a little different. Also I haven't quite seen all movies to which the academy gave a Best Actor award, for instance, I haven't seen On the Waterfront. So Marlon Brando from that movie will not be on here. Anyway these are my favorite, if you have some favorites that I missed or needed let me know.

Top 5 Jodie Foster Performances

Top 5 Jodie Foster Performances

Jodie Foster is one of those very selective actresses. She always seems to take a lot of time with her roles and choosing which ones to do. Unfortunately this is rather rare in Hollywood today. Not only is she selective, but she prepares for them and is willing to commit just about anything to her roles. In the fairly recent movie, Elysium, she was originally going to speak for the whole movie in French. In general movies with lots of subtitles, even a little, do not do as good at the box office in America. Even with that Jodie Foster was going to do it, although it ended up that the producers didn't think that was a very good idea so they shot that down. Anyway, Jodie Foster is one of the most talented and best actresses alive today, I figured she would be the perfect person to start the Top 5 performances lists.

Robert De Niro vs Al Pacino
Robert De Niro vs Al Pacino, two of the best actors who have ever lived and two of the best actors, maybe the best actors, alive today. But which one is better? Both have had massive success and are household names. That being said who is the better actor, not necessarily who is the more successful, so in this blog post I will break down parts of their film careers to determine who is the best between the two once and for all. This post may span a couple of weeks so the winner may not be decided today.
