I Would Love for them to do 100 best performances

It would be different from 100 heros and villans and 100 stars because they wouldnt be listing charectors or stars alone, but stars AS a charector.

There IS a difference and it would make for a great list.

Some examples:

Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone in "The Godfather"

Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind"

Meryl Streep as Sophie Zowatowski in "Sophie's Choice"

Robert De Niro as Jake La Motta in "Raging Bull"

Judy Garland as Esther Blodgett in "A Star is Born"

See, some of these charectors weren't on 100 Heros and Villans, some of these actors weren't on 100 Stars, and some of these films weren't on 100 movies but they are all still worthy of some recognition.

100 performances would be a great list

Any one agree?

Any Other performances you would list?

This could be a great blog

Speaking of great performances, does anyone have a list of Premire Magaziene's top performances? It's been all over the trivia for different people here. Defenitly 100 performances would be good. How about the top 100 drama movies ever? I know a lot are like that, but I guess that if they've already done thriller, comedy, and romance, drama is next in line. Or, the Top 100 film-noir movies. They're scarce, but it was a very famous genre in the '30s and '40s. Or 100 Series. We'd see stuff like Star Wars and Toy Story serieses top that list. At first, you could think 'they're done', but there are so many different things they could do. 100 directors would also be interesting.
