Gotta agree with Dustin Hoffman as Ratso.
John Wayne is great in True Grit, no doubt.
Hoffman's performance is superior in every way, though.

Anthony Perkins - Psycho

Good list, except i wouldn't agree with Tom Cruise, even though it's his best performance, and he's excellent, Daniel Day - Lewis was just so good in My left foot.

Robert De niro - Taxi driver
Robert De niro - The King of comedy
Al Pacino - The Godfather part 2
Daniel Day - Lewis - Gangs of New York
Leonardo Dicaprio - Once upon a time in Hollywood

Comedies never get the credit they deserve. Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny or Jack Lemmon in Some Like it Hot.
