25th Hour

American History X

Fight Club.

I actually haven't seen Primal Fear, Stone, or the Painted Veil, though I hear he is excellent in all of them.

Very good movie and I watched last week actually. I didn't list though because I considerd it to be a voice role

I can't argue with anyone having Rounders near their top though

American History X is his best performance.

25th hour is by far his best film. (Where he is the lead)

American History X - most range, changes character
2. 25th Hour
3. Fight Club - he carries that film despite Pitt's presence.

(Primal Fear - he is pretty much the same scared character the entire film - always weary of characters who go into an acting shell ala Rain Man and just have to stay there.)

True. Forgot about FC

I still think 25th hour is at least slightly better than FC though...

I'd go with:

Primal Fear
American History X
Death to Smoochy

But it was a very good list to choose from and so many great movies and roles.
