What always struck me with Anthony Hopkins as Lecter is his eyes- when he interacts with others (and especially while he's talking to Clarice) his eyes are bright and almost sparkling. He's locked in and barely even blinks. Yet when he's slashing at the prison guard, his eyes are dead. How can you even act that? If you're acting dead eyes, the acting gives you away. He's incredible.

Alan Rickman in everything. He's the best!

[eilidhwatson]

Love how you just casually drop that you were in 3 seasons of the walking dead haha

[Haawser]

Gary Oldman as Stansfield in Leon was mesmerizing.

If you like British culture, you have to watch Shakespeare in Love, absolutely nails it. Stellar cast, very funny and very very clever.

Hard to believe Shaw was only 48 when Jaws came out and 51 was no age.

I love when you go through your own acting experiences....I watched the movie where you played a drummer after you mentioned it in a previous vid....I find it fascinating...Thank you

[sobelou]

Great choices. One who I would like to see on one of these lists: Mark Rylance as the captured Soviet spy that earns the respect of anyone watching the movie, on Spielberg's Bridge of Spies. He won an Oscar for this role, btw.

[AlBarzUK]

You HAVE to watch Shakespeare in Love!!!

[soozb]

Do watch Shakespeare in Love! It's very funny and it's about playwrights and actors and the whole business of putting on plays... just up your alley, I should think.

A costume historian said they wore linen shifts underneath these would protect the dresses they also acted as an exfoliant on the skin.

Unfortunately only one “dress” survives it was made into an alter cloth. They have now made it into a dress again to show the exquisite work.
The Gowns and accessories were recycled, reused, given away as gifts and sometimes used as payment to those in her service.
Would have been fabulous to see more.

Alan Rickman, oh yes. He can and does act anything. The Sheriff of Nottingham part can still make me giggle in all that black leather.

[FrancesThompson-em]

You should watch Robert Shaw as Grant in the James Bond film’With Russia With Love’! In my humble opinion one of the best Bond Villains!

Actors can steal the show in lead roles too, of course... You may know the US television series "House of Cards" (starring Kevin Spacey as a malevolent politician) - it was based on a British series of the same name which had Ian Richardson in the lead role and... um... some other people in it too, I think. Richardson completely devoured the screen in it.

[5:18] Had to add something about Robert Shaw. He and Richard Drefyus had a rivalry on the set of Jaws, but it was the seed of a deep respect they developed towards each other. There is a great clip on YT of Richard talking about meeting Robert's grand-daughter and telling her how much he loved her grand-father. He can't hold back the tears as he remembers the man he admired. Just one of endless incredible stories from behind the scenes of Jaws.

8:15 where you've paused is where Romanov is tricking Loki into revealing his evil plan by pretending to be scared.

Judi Dench was robbed of an Oscar the year before for Mrs Brown so it felt sort of divine justice ghat she won allbeit for a different Queen. 😃

[fantasticvoyages-sgsw]

I'd give an honourable mention ( and a lighter note) to Emily Blunt - she had a small supporting role in Devil Wears Prada but it basically made her a star.

[peterbabicki]

Tom Hardy said he approached Nolan and said they could either go down the standard Darth Vader, dark menacing route, or they could go with something different.

In my personal opinion it's genius. Love it or hate it, you remember it.

I'd argue that you can tell that the planet of the apes had people in prosthetics because it looks more realistic. Same with how the practical effects orcs in Lord of the Rings looked better than the CGI orcs in the Hobbit despite being 10 years older
