perfidy

Perfidious crony Brdgt has a cool twist on the whole great movie list thingy.

[N]ame your favorite movie that these actors have been in. Not necessarily their best performance, just your favorite.

Some of these were rather hard, especially the really great ones and the really bad ones, you really had to focus on the film, rather than their performance.

Brdgt has some interesting choices, though unsurprisingly many overlap with mine. Here's my pix:

Sigourney Weaver: Aliens
Robin Williams: Good Will Hunting
Clint Eastwood: A Fistful of Dollars
Mel Gibson: Mad Max
Paul Newman: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Brad Pitt: Fight Club
Goldie Hawn: Death Becomes Her
Audrey Hepburn: Breakfast at Tiffanys
Diane Keaton: The Godfather
Halle Berry: X-men
Kevin Bacon: Animal House
Ewan McGregor: Trainspotting
Sean Connery: Goldfinger
Anthony Hopkins: The Silence of the Lambs
Jack Nicholson: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Harrison Ford: Blade Runner
Tom Hanks: Bachelor Party
Robert DeNiro: Godfather, Part II
Al Pacino: The Godfather

Brdgt is right; some of these are haaaard. How do you choose between the Sigourney Weaver picks Ghostbusters, Alien, Aliens, and Galaxy Quest? Much less the De Niro or Connery picks, or even little ol' Robin Williams, who was in The Fisher King and (yes, yes) Aladdin? Perceptive readers will notice that I chose Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party over Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, or Suburban Everyman Cries Again for Redemption. That's only because a donkey on 'ludes is comic genius of a rare and wonderful sort.
