Top 5 Performances: John Cazale

John Cazale was a supporting actor in the 70s that accomplished something that no other actor has: All the films he acted in was nominated for Academy awards best picture. Also, all of them has a rating of 8,0 or higher on IMDb. Sadly, he died when he was only 42 years old in terminal bone cancer. As he only acted in five films, this list is rather about ranking his performances than picking out the five best ones.

#5. The Conversation

Stan

Not a bad performance, it's just that he didn't get much time on screen.

"It's curiosity. Did you ever hear of that? It's just goddamn human nature."

#4. The Godfather

Fredo Corleone

John Cazale started his movie acting career in this unknown movie about a maffia family.

"Papa!"

#3. The Deer Hunter

Stan

The story behind this performance makes it his best in a way. All the scenes in which Cazale participates was filmed first because of his illness. The studio wanted to replace him but the director Michael Cimono and Cazales collegue/lover Meryl Streep threatened to leave the production if they did. Also, it is said that Robert De Niro paid for his insurance so that he could take part in the movie. John Cazale died shortly after completing all his scenes.

"Some fuckin' friend. You're some fuckin' friend, you know that?"

#2. Dog Day Afternoon

Sal

Great performance as Al Pacino's sidekick in this funny bank robbery movie.

"Tell the TV to stop saying there's 2 homosexuals in here." 

#1. The Godfather: Part II

Fredo Corleone

In the second part of The Godfather, Fredo Corleone gets much more attention than in the first part, and Cazale does not disappoint. Amazing performance.

"Taken care of me? You're my kid brother and you take care of me? Did you ever think about that? Hah? Did you ever once think about that?"

An example of what a great actor John Cazale was is this scene from The Godfather II:

Top 5 Perfomances: Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp has always been one of my favorite actors and always does an amazing job. The last few years though, I feel that he hasn't chosen his roles too well and I would like to see him in more drama/comedy movies and less fantasy.

This is a list of the best performances, not the best movies, although the quality of the movie often has an impact on the performance vice versa.

5. Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Edward Scissorhands

The movie is great but not flawless. Johnny Depp is though.

4. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Willy Wonka

What would otherwise have been an okay movie became a personal favorite for me because of Johnny Depp's acting. I must admit, I haven't seen the original so I can't say if he's better than Gene Wilder or not.

3. Dead Man (1995)

William Blake

One of the most unique movies Johnny Depp has acted in. William Blake goes from being a nervous accountant to being a cool western outlaw in this Jarmusch film.

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Jack Sparrow

The most well-known movie and the one that made him bigger than ever. He should have stopped being Jack Sparrow after the third one because there's not much left to get from that character.

1. Ed Wood (1994)

Edward D Wood Jr.

My absolute favorite Johnny Depp performance is his portrayal of the legendary director Edward D Wood Jr.


Bonus: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Felt bad to leave this out of the list. Great performance.

Top 5 Child Acting Performances

There's a problem when a film needs a child character: It's hard to find good child actors. I don't blame the children, I guess almost always the director or someone else in the production is responsible for how a childs performance turns out. Of course the child has to have some talent too, but I suppose a child needs more direction than an adult actor that has maybe studied acting and are more confident to try new things.
Often the child actors are good, but it seldom happens that they are a big part of what makes the movie great. The following top 5 list proves that child actors can deliver fantastic performances.

Actor look-alikes

CHECK OUT MY NEW LOOK ALIKE POST
Celebrity look alikes 2


While I'm currently working on some more serious lists, I decided to make this list, just for fun. I'm not saying that these are the ones that looks most alike in the world, but I wanted to include only the ones I thought of myself. At least one in the couple has to be associated with film.

Top 5 Actor look-alikes.

Nr. 5: Peter Lorre - Pete Doherty

Maybe not always, but in the movie "M" Peter Lorre looks a lot like Pete Doherty, mostly because of the eyes.

Nr. 4: Richard Gere - A mink

I don't know if this mink is an actor, but you all know Richard Gere. You could also say he looks a like a dog or any other animal. If the mink would smile as Gere, I don't think you could see who's who.

Nr. 3: Matt Damon - Mark Wahlberg

I have always thought of these two practically as the same person. It happens sometimes that I realize quite late in a movie that the main character was Mark Wahlberg and not Matt Damon or vice versa. Actually, they don't look too much alike placing their pictures side by side, but there's something about them that makes me look at them as almost the same person.

Nr. 2: Harrison Ford - Dennis Quaid

Dennis Quaid looks a lot like a younger Harrison Ford. Before, when I didn't know as much as today about movies, I thought I was watching Harrison Ford when it actually was the less known Dennis Quaid

Nr. 1: Javier Bardem - Jeffrey Dean Morgan

When I was looking for pictures of these two I found the same picture when I searched for Javier Bardem as when I searched for Jeffrey Dean Morgan and I wasn't sure who it actually was.
