In terms of Pacino's acting performance? Not sure it gets better than SoaW.

[Deej 76790]

It's a shame "Radio" was made before they could ad in the postscript that he went on to coach the Longhorns after Mack Brown. 

[Parliament 14260]

Shia Labuff best: Fury

Shia Labuff worst: American  Honey

How bad of a selection can it be if he won Best Actor for it.

[Bateshorn 9927]

Still not as good as Heat.  

[qwertyu1234 496]

Jon Hamm

Best- Mad Men

Worst- The new Progressive commercials

[Baboontyme 2812]

Steven Seagal

Think most consider it more of a lifetime achievement award for SoaW.  But yea, it's still a pretty damn good performance.

Worst for Al:  Gigli?

 

Tom Hanks:  

Best:  Saving Private Ryan (Forrest Gump very close 2nd)

Worst:  Bonfire of the Vanities

Oh, and Tom Cruise wasn't bad in Interview with the Vampire, OP.  For those that read the book, he was actually pretty spot on.  Brad Pitt was pretty terrible in it though.

 

[Eskimohorn 5635]

Nic Cage has me in a pretzel with this question.

Best: Adaptation
Worst: Peggy Sue Got Married

A pretty good movie, but Cage was horrible. We’re supposed to believe prime Kathleen Turner ends up marrying this whiny dude? Maybe he was worse in Knowing.

[closetohumping 17442]

Nic Cage was decent playing the alcoholic drunk opposite Elizabeth shue 

[semitired 82]

Jack Nicholson:

best- One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

worst- Mars Attacks!

[Hawndoh 2386]

Tom Hanks best work is still and will always be The Burbs.

100% agree on Vampire. Cruise was perfect as Lestat and had a great performance.

Pitt was horribly mis-cast and was not good. I always thought Jude Law would have been perfect for Louis.

Another great Cruise performance that doesn’t get enough credit was as Vincent in Collateral. 

[TexasHooch 5122]

Kevin Costner

Best- Bull Durham

Worst- Robin Hood (couldn't even be bothered to use an accent)

[South Austin 52500]

Agree on Pitt in Interview With A Vampire. I don’t think he’s a natural as an actor, and has gotten better with age and experience. He was still pretty green back then.

His best performance is Fight Club.

Couldn’t agree more on both counts.

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Tom Hanks best -Buffy
Tom Hanks worst - Kip Wilson.

[closetohumping 17442]

Leo

 

Best: Departed?

Worst: Blood Diamond?

[CooterBrown 18012]

I dunno about Leo. He never phones it in. He did way better than most could do with what the Blood Diamond script provided.

Maybe his worst was his appearance on Growing Pains?

[TexasHooch 5122]

Romeo and Juliet was his worst. 

Basketball diaries was his best.

Watch this scene and tell me this is a good performance- in contrast to Pete Postlethwaite, who plays it masterfully.
