Ripped from my all time top 20 guys and gals performances list.

4. Nicholas Cage - Adaptation

We open on Charlie Kaufman. Fat, old, bald, repulsive, sitting in a Hollywood restaurant, across from Valerie Thomas, a lovely, statuesque film executive. Kaufman, trying to get a writing assignment, wanting to impress her, sweats profusely. Fat, bald Kaufman paces furiously in his bedroom. He speaks into his hand held tape recorder, and he says: "Charlie Kaufman. Fat, bald, repulsive, old, sits at a Hollywood restaurant with Valerie Thomas". - Charlie Kaufman

10. Ed Norton - 25th hour

Champagne for my real friends, and real pain for my sham friends. - Montgomery Brogan

13. Jim Carrey - Me, Myself and Irene

Price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. I repeat: price check on Vagiclean, aisle five. That's Vagiclean. We've got a customer down here with a full-on fallopian fungus. She's baking a loaf of bread and I think it's sourdough. - Hank Evans

Geoffrey Rush - Quills

Conversation, like certain portions of the anatomy, always runs more smoothly when lubricated.

4. Nicholas Cage - Adaptation

As much as I love this film I don't give Cage neeeeeeearly enough credit for his performance.  You know both these characters so well by the end of the film that when Donald gets killed it is really emotional (even though it's kinda a punchline to a joke).   It's not done via makeup or mustache or hairstyle.  Heck they kinda even dress alike.  You know completely and totally by the personalities.  


And great quote by the way
