I'm going with Burgess Meredith in Rocky. To be able to go from the refined character he usually portrayed to the gritty bastard trainer Mickey was amazing......

Good choice.

Other candidates - Alec Guinness in Lawrence of Arabia and George C. Scott in Patton.

Honorable mention (and television, no less) should go to Andre Royo for his character Bubbles in The Wire.

Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest always gets my vote for this.

I'd look to something like:
O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia
Klaus Kinski in Aguirre
Shimura in Ikiru
Stewart in Vertigo

I think Anthony Hopkins was on screen for a total of like 15 minutes and still won an academy award.

Draconian Sanctions in his Wrath of Kahn thread.

His portrayal of a retard makes Leo's acting job in What's Eating Gilbert Grape look like a pile of shite.
