1. Malcolm McDowell as Alex in Clockwork Orange.
2. Peter O'Toole as TE Lawrence in Lawrence of Arabia.
3. Richard Burton as Richard Wagner in the tv miniseries Wagner.
4. Liam Neeson as Oskar Schindler in Schindler's List.
5. Rutger Hauer as Batty in Blade Runner.

That's a good one. Did she win an Oscar for that performance?

I definitely need to check out "Lonesome Dove" some day. Robert Duvall is really good in everything I've seen him in.

Great role but I think his best role ever was as Trip in "Glory".

Spy Game (2001)

Excellent movie with 2 excellent actors

Johnny Depp is a flexible character . So many movies he acts well in. From a soldier in Platoon to a Drug dealer , to a Pirate in the Caribbean , to Once Upon a Time in Mexico to the owner of a chocolate factory. Johnny Depp is cool IMO.
