My Best Performance: Julianne Moore

[Spinal]

I give you an actor.

You tell me which movie contains their best performance. You get one vote.

Discussion might happen.

After a day or so, the votes are counted. I announce the winning performance.

We then move on to somebody else.

Previous decisions:
Robert De Niro - Raging Bull
Kate Winslet - Heavenly Creatures
Toshiro Mifune - Throne of Blood
Meryl Streep - Adaptation
Michael Keaton - Beetlejuice
Penelope Cruz - Volver
Charlie Chaplin - The Gold Rush

What's my best performance?

[Boner M]

Safe.

[Skitch]

NOT a fan. The Big Lebowski.

[Raiders]

Safe

[Spinal]

I'll go with my first impulse, even though it's not a film I'm particularly fond of.

I think she kills it in The Hours.

[Ezee E]

Children of Men.

She's consistently good in just about everything. I can't say there's one that stands above the rest.

[Qrazy]

Boogie Nights

[chrisnu]

Safe

[Dukefrukem]

Boogie Nights

[wigwam]

I wanna be cool and say Vanya on 42nd Street (or The English Teacher) but it's Safe

not just her best performance but it will be the best of all these winners so far

[Kurosawa Fan]

Boogie Nights

[Winston*]

Safe

[Ezee E]

Not much discussion here. Is it because majority of her roles are all kind of the same? That's not to say it's a bad thing, but like Kate Winslet, it's kind of hard to separate her roles as one being better then the other.

[dreamdead]

Safe, though I first truly noticed her work in Short Cuts. That monologue is killer.

I think that Moore had a great string of '90s films by quality directors. Her work in the past ten years or so have been variations, not really new material. I say that of course wanting to rewatch Far from Heaven sometime soon.

[Ivan Drago]

I'll be the first, and probably only one to say Magnolia.

[Dead & Messed Up]

Boogie Nights.

[Pop Trash]

SAFE all the way. NOT fucking Magnolia.

[Qrazy]

Personally I think it's much more challenging to pretend to be a bad actor (Boogie Nights) than to pretend to be extremely sick.

Match Cut says my best performance is ...
