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
Julianne Moore - Safe
Forest Whitaker - Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Ingrid Bergman - Notorious
Humphrey Bogart - In a Lonely Place
Liv Ullmann - Scenes From a Marriage
Johnny Depp - Ed Wood

Eyes Wide Shut is the only answer to this question.

Eyes Wide Shut is the only answer to this question.

First thought, but I kind of lead towards TO DIE FOR

I hate Eyes Wide Shut so I'm going with Dead Calm.

Yeah, Eyes Wide Shut is the obvious answer.

I hope To Die For does good, though.

To Die For, with some love given to Moulin Rouge despite the cliched nature of that character.

I guess I'll be the lone vote for Dogville.

Solid pick there. Forgot about that.

Birth.

I was kind of dismissive with my Eyes Wide Shut is the only answer comment. I forgot about Birth and Dogville which were both fantastic.

I've debated between the two favorites back and forth and I think I've come down on the side of Eyes Wide Shut.

It's pretty odd that, considering I think she has a plethora of brilliantly varied performances, my first reaction upon seeing this thread was, "I suppose either To Die For or Eyes Wide Shut, for very different reasons." And, to my surprise, that seems to be the consensus (Birth, The Others, Portrait of a Lady and Dogville are aces, too, of course). I'll go with To Die For, though, since it's a tonally tricky role and she's so casually committed, totally nailing the pathology of her character.

Has she gotten the most amount of votes as far as actresses go?

She really was great in To Die For, even if I found the movie to be merely good/solid at best. Love that ending though.

Nicole Kidman is my second favorite American actress so this is tough. I'll go with Dogville, but Birth and Eyes Wide Shut are definitely close behind.

She has dual American citizenship (she was born in Hawaii). Would you prefer it if I said Hollywood actress? Lol.
