Like the performances polls for actors and actresses, I think this would be a good way to prepare for the Top 100 Performances List. This thread will serve as the index for the decade lists. Organize your list however you want: male and female performances on the same or separate lists and/or supporting and lead roles on the same or separate lists; Top 5, Top 10, Top 15, whatever.
The purpose of these lists is to jog our memories and perhaps turn people on to some performances they haven't seen yet.
These aren't meant to be final. So don't hold back from posting. You can always post new lists or edit your old ones.Update: threads for the 2000s, 90s, 80s, 70s, and 60s are up.
