re: Best male and female acting performance you've ever seen in a movie?

I forgot about Raging Bull. Also, Michael Caine's first acting role was Zula and was outstanding. Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke was perfect as he was in Hud and The Hustler. The guy was just really smooth and natural in just about everything. Burt Lancaster in Atlantic City. Clint Eastwood in TGTBATU or maybe Thunderbolt And Lightfoot, which is my favorite underrated movie of all time. Orson Wells in A Touch Of Evil. Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet.

I think I've been suffering from Tom Hanks fatigue for about a decade now.
Since Saving Private Ryan came out in 1998 I'm wondering what Hanks movie from 99-08 burned you out on him?

As I think I stated ... it's just burnout. Too much Tom Hanks for me and his schtick got old jn my eyes. I can't remember the last movie I saw of his ... I guess it was either Saving Private Ryan, which I loved, or it was the one where he was robbing a casino in or around the Gulf somewhere. Maybe that one was it. I have not seen the one about him being the congressman who raised money for arms ... supposed to be based on a true story I think. Have not seen the one about him being the Captain of a cargo ship that was hijacked. Have not seen the one about Sully. Refuse to see The Post. Heard Cloud Atlas was horrible. Not going to watch the one about Walt Disney. Oh, I have watched Polar Express and the first Toy Story. I did watch, and like, Catch Me If You Can about Frank Abegnal. I did see one of his movies based on the Divinci Code ... Robert Langdon character, but I've watched none of the sequels.
I'm just burnt out on Tom Hanks. Could care less if I never see another one of his movies or hear his voice again. Just MHO.

Pondered this for a few... keep coming back to this.
Still thinking about the female performance.

One of my personal favorite supporting performances was Jeremy Renner as Mayor Carmine Polito in American Hustle. He was such a sympathetic character. Not saying it’s a GOAT performance, just one I really appreciated.

That was a masterclass by two legends
One of my favorites. Very deservingly in the conversation.

Male- Robert Duvall in (hell, pick one) but The Apostle.
Female- Anne Bancroft in The Graduate
Shemale- Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club

PSH in Capote and Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler were the first 2 male leads I thought of. And although Lincoln was boring as hell I was mesmerized by DDL's performance, not a fun character like the Butcher or Plainview, but to take such a well known historical character and bring him to life the way he did was almost surreal to watch. Hillary Swank's performance in Boys Don't Cry was as good as anything I've ever seen. A transexual hermaphrodite who was also a white trash redneck, and she nailed all of it.

My Left Foot, Gangs of New York and There will be Blood are the finest consistent performances in such a short stretch of time by any actor.
18 years is a short stretch?

That's what I thought the thread was.
That would be more interesting IMO.

Robert Shaw as Quint- Jaws
Or
Casey Affleck as Robert Ford - TAOJJBTCRF
Can’t really think of a female performance that stands out as the greatest
