Kelly's Heroes (1970): Telly Savalas as "Big Joe". Kelly and Oddball are the most recognized and quoted (especally Oddball) but Savalis sets the tone contrasting the regular Army mentality against a group of wartime draftees and assorted misfits.
 The Caine Mutiny (1954)- Humphrey Bogart usually gets the accolades for his performance (which is completely warranted) but Jose Ferrer's performance as the defense attorney for the mutineers is excellent.  The Quiet Man (1952) Victor McLaglen as Squire "Red" Will Danaher. His performance as a blustering country squire and older brother to John Wayne's love interest literally makes the movie. He's hilarious.  |

Kellys heros is great movie, clint is awsome.
This was the movie that got me dreaming of rock climbing and mountaineering. I never understood what it was about when I was young. And my dad editted out the titties at the begining part. 
Skipping up a decade I freaking loved this movie. Awsome kungfoo.

Since this movie is over 20 years old, I have to go with this guy's performance, which might be the best acting I've ever seen:

There was a made for TV movie by Michael Landon called "Where Piegons go to die". Typical ML movie but Art Carney gave a good performance in one of his last films.

With all of the other characters in the movie, I knew the actors and actresses that played them, and while many of them were interesting or entertaining to watch, this particular character actually convinced me I wasn't watching an actor...act. It's hard to explain, but maybe it had something to do with me not being familiar with Stephan Lang, therefore I didn't recognize him during the movie. Having said that, his performance was so genuine, so thorough, so complete, that my brain pretty much accepted his part of the film as being somehow actually played by the historical person. It's kind of weird, but there it is. To my knowledge, there's never been another actor or actress that pulled that off and tricked my brain like that. |

The Lighthorsemen
In 1917 when the British forces are bogged down in front of the Turkish and German lines in Palestine they rely on the Australian light horse regiment to break the deadlock. Eiber and Siskel gave this movie two thumbs up and both stated that the final charge was the best horse scene ever filmed. I'll repeat that, it has the best horse scene ever filmed. Mild profanity(IIRC they used the word 'bullshit') and a brief scene of male nudity that is of extreme hilarity, especially to anyone with .mil experience  . Well, worth the watch. It can be watched by the entire family.

Jose Ferrer in The Caine Mutiny is a great choice.
I'd nominate Ralph Meeker, both for Paths Of Glory and Kiss Me Deadly. He was a great actor. Trevor Howard in The Third Man is another. He was perfect as the cynical MI/CID officer. "Death is at the bottom of everything Martins, leave death to the professionals." "Go back to your hotel Martins - people get killed everyday in Vienna and you were born to be killed." Orson Wells gets all the attention and it isn't really fair, Howard's performance made the film, IMO. |

My favorite scene from a movie is from The Searchers when Brad Jorgenson thinks he spots Lucy and Ethan tells him she was raped and mutilated:

Stephen Lang is probably the best actor working today because he doesn't play himself, the way bigger-name actors do. He disappears into his roles. His work in Tombstone, Public Enemies, Gods and Generals, White Irish Drinkers, etc. is usually the best part of the movie. |
