    My Best Performance: Susan Sarandon

    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
    Helena Bonham Carter - Fight Club
    Christopher Walken - The Deer Hunter
    Helen Mirren - The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
    Will Smith - Ali


    What's my best performance?

    The Beach Bum (Korine, 2019) *1/2

    I haven't seen so many that it's almost unfair, but I'm going with Dead Man Walking.

    Looking down her IMDB, there are a lot of Susan Sarandon films I've never even heard of.

    Dead Man Walking.

    She's been functional in a lot of films.

    Bull Durham, I guess. With a high five for Speed Racer.

    I think she's one of the better actresses around. She elevates movies typically.

    Except The Lovely Bones. She was even a dreck in that.

    THELMA & LOUISE.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I don't think I've ever seen a full movie that she's in. Crazy.

    DMW is fantastic.

    Odd part is Jack Black as Sean Penn's brother in a total non-Jack Black role. He was trying to be discovered at that point.

    Jack Back is in all three of Tim Robbins' films.
