Since I consider Abraham's performance in Amadeus to be the greatest, I thought it would be interesting to see what people considered to be the greatest single performances in film history. Everyone's entitled to their opinions (provided the word Keanu doesn't pop up), so let's all be nice - no bashing anyone else's list!! Here's mine (this was extremely difficult).

1. F. Murray Abraham - AMADEUS
2. Al Pacino - THE GODFATHER PART II
3. Marlon Brando - LAST TANGO IN PARIS
4. Jeff Bridges - THE BIG LEBOWSKI
5. Denzel Washington - GLORY
6. Dustin Hoffman - TOOTSIE
7. Gene Wilder - WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY
8. Anthony Hopkins - THE REMAINS OF THE DAY
9. Katherine Hepburn - THE LION IN WINTER
10. Sean Penn - HURLYBURLY

Honorable Mentions:

Ben Kingsley - GANDHI
Laurence Olivier - RICHARD III
Robert Duval - THE APOSTLE
Meryl Streep - SOPHIE'S CHOICE
Kevin Klein - A FISH CALLED WANDA
Jack Lemmon - GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS
William H. Macy - FARGO
Topol - FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
Amy Adams - JUNEBUG
