Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

John Hurt in "The Elephant Man"...

...where he does an incredible job: nuanced, loaded with humanity, and being able to transmit an incredible palette of feelings and emotions from behind a very thick mask which makes him practically unrecognizable!

Lawrence Olivier makes a most scary villain of his character in "Marathon Man". And his Moor in "Othello" is still at the top, despite his non-blackness: that scene when he takes a rose, smells it and recites is priceless...

Derek Jacobi in "I, Claudius" is simply superb: he has left no room for anybody else to play that role...

And terence Stamp played the best role in his whole life in "Billy Budd", looking to a giant like Peter Ustinov, and to the well-seasoned Robert Ryan face to face, and not blinking: unforgettable!

Then Robert Mitchum, as the widow-murderer in Charles Laughton´s only, and most poetic film "The Night of the Hunter" becomes the scariest incarnation of evil...

There are more, of course. But these were the ones immediately coming to my mind.
