Jude Law as the mentally challenged confederate soldier in Cold Mountain. He showed a lot of depth to both master a north carolinian accent and to convincingly act retarded.
Oh wait, you said best, my bad.

Everybody in Lord of the Rings was excellently casted, which is one prime reason the movies are so great. Only the Eowyn character would I consider somebody else for the role.
Edward Norton in American history X.
Tom Hanks in Forest Gump
Arnold as Conan the barbarian
Tons more

Carey Grant - see above, David Huxley in Bringing up Baby, Mortimer Brewster in Arsenic and Old Lace
Danny Kaye as Hubert Hawkins in the Court Jester
Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith in Matrix 1 & 3
Stanley Tucci as "Muerte" in Undercover Blues(this movie sucked other then Tucci).
Jeff Bridges as "The Dude" in Big Lebowski
John Goodman as Walter Sobchak in Big Lewbowski

2) Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty. I want more life, fucker!
1) Christopher Lee as Saruman. Good..God...He looks like an old wizard, with or without robes.

Honorable Mentions:
Val Kilmer as sick and dying Doc Holliday
Ed Harris:90% of his career, but best as the Hostile saleman in Glengaryglenross...speaking of which:
old Jack Lemmon as Shelley the Machine Levine, GGGR.
Alec Baldwin (cameo) in GGGR.
John Cusack:90% of his career, possibly best as Lane Meyer in Better Off Dead (reallly, can you see anyone else doing that role?)
Venron Wells as The Might Wez (Road Warrior)
Arnold as Conan (Automatic)
The original casting of the Terminator: Michael Biehn as The Terminator, Arnold as the future commando sent back to stop him.
Lance Henrikson as Bishop
making his debut as a colossal fatass - Marlon Brando as Kurtz

I'm serious) Another all-time great oscar snub, and best casting entry would be Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in The Doors. Kilmer looked just liked him, acted just like him, and even sang the songs himself, and it's hard to tell the difference there, too. It was a brilliant performance. |
