I've never watched that movie, and looked at it just now on Prime Video. Not in the mood for a "downbeat, dark" movie at the moment (Prime Video's description), but I did put it on my watchlist. I'm interested in the acting of all the actors even though the subject matter isn't something I'm really all that interested in.

It's yet another movie where Spielberg is making movies for critics rather than audiences.

I’m rewatching the Columbo series.

Peter Falk I just want to see him because he’s brilliant in this role.

I never get tired of this show every scene has meaning, slower pace.

I, but I have been shocked by the actors in certain scenes. The original Fritz Lang movie “M” blew me away with the trial scene. I knew of Peter Lorre from his English language films, many of which were comedies. This one was fantastic.

My housemate and I did that a couple years ago. We got through about 13-15 episodes. Should go back and finish. Very unique, very special show. Falk was an amazing actor.

Yes that was a fantastic performance, but whenever I think about it it is with a slightly sour taste because I think that Liam Neeson should have won the Academy Award for Schindler's List, rather than Hanks winning for Philadelphia.

An embarrassment of riches re quality performances that year .

Apocalypse Now and The Apostle for Robert Duvall

Patton, George C. Scott

Give 'em Hell Harry, James Whitmore. As an one man play that was filmed I don't know if it is in the spirit of the question.

What Dreams May Come.


Never really cared for the movie that much other than Robin Williams' performance.
