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
Nicole Kidman - To Die For
John Turturro - Quiz Show

A Room with a View. She captures the warmth and inquisitiveness so well.

I think I'll go with Fight Club but I wanted to give special mention to her performance as Bellatrix in the Harry Potter films. She killed that role.

Yeah, I considered this as well--I liked rewarding a literary heroine who doesn't die at the end, though. Really just don't want Fight Club to win when she's done so many other great roles.
