ReplyDeleteGlad you like those picks, Chris!
DeleteI love these posts! You have some great ones on here, and a few I haven't seen yet. Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hope you find some new ones you like. Knew you'd love seeing Gyllenhaal on here. ;)
DeleteThurman! Stone! Crowe! McAvoy! Byrne! Thompson! LOVE the We Are the Best tie!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to see Mommy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, I'll see it as soon as I can! Glad you like those picks man.
DeleteYou saw soooo many films that anyone who even made it to top 50 must have been amazing Josh :) I think Michael Fassbender was great in Frank though I'm not too overly fond of the film itself. Jake G in Nightcrawler is still fresh in my mind as I just saw it this weekend, it might've made my top 10 if I had seen it sooner!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I think all of these are great performances. :) Glad you liked Fassbender and Gyllenhaal, who was also great in Enemy.
DeleteGreat stuff! Looks like I need to see Le Week-End. Loved what Duncan did in Birdman. And Goldblum… can’t go wrong there.
ReplyDeleteThanks again man! I loved Le Week-End. In a weaker year, I would've nominated Broadbent, Duncan and Goldblum, as well as the screenplay. It's a charming little movie. Goldblum stole it for me on a second look.
