Maybe I'm an idiot but that wasn't clear. I think Top 20 M&F is better for the individual lists from which a FS Top 50 M&F is compiled.

That's what I meant, top 20 for the ballot, top 50 for the main list. I'll update the first post to make it clearer, I thought I had already said it but I dont think I did.  :-\. Sorry guys.
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

Excellent schmerite... I share your no. 1 female performance, and quite a few others on that list.


(Susan George in Straw Dogs...? Really?)

Thanks, but I kind of hate it, actually.  I always think that comedic performances get unfairly overlooked, and there I am with my list that is almost entirely made up of dramatic performances.  Though, Setsuko Hara in Late Spring cracks me up.  One performance on there goes without saying.

Comedic performances could be a list all their own eh. It's hard, because you can end up trying to compare two completely different qualities. One performance may make you cry and another may make you laugh... which is more impressive?

Yeah, there are many factors to take into account.

Bump. Get working on your lists.

I have something reasonable but I'll give myself another month before I post it because I hope to see some cracking performances in that time.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
