Not really critically aclaimed or anything but I've always loved Thomas Jane's potrayal as Mickey Mantle in 61* for some reason.. and I guess as second place I'd say Mickey Rourke as Randy the Ram

I know the feeling brotha... This list could change like a "Top 5 Females I Wanna frick" list, there's always that solid one or 2 that make the list everytime, but the others can change everytime I turn the TV on or pop a DVD in

I thought I just didn't see it so I deleted it. Most people don't appreciate Ol' Forrest enough

Raging Bull would be another good De Niro pick.

Also, half a dozen performances from The Godfather should be noted.

I was just about to put Robert Duvall as Tom Hagen earlier, but then thought nah The Godfather in general was just a great acting performance
