Got to go with Peter O'Toole as Lawrence. His performance (more drunk than not on set) was mesmerizing and almost a revelation in terms of acting. As fantastic as Peck was that year in "To Kill a Mockingbird", O'Toole was robbed of the Oscar that year.

Could not agree more. He WAS Lawrence, and to follow it up in with another fantastic performance with Burton in Becket - kudos to a truly great actor.

No way to pick just one (or even a few) so I'll just throw out two I really loved:

1- Duval in Lonesome Dove. He was absolutely perfect.

2- Bogie in The African Queen. Played against his usual persona and did a damned good job.

Javier Bardem- No Country for Old Men
Jeff Bridges- The Big Lewbowski


Matthew McConaughey- Dazed and Confused
Gary Cole- Office Space
Hugo Weaving- The Matrix

Probably one of the first two

Duval and TLJ in Lonesome Dove. Played off eachother better than anything else I have seen.

Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of NY would win my all time acting performance. He was awesome.
