    That's sort of what I was aiming for. lol... The fact that I said that lowers the chances of people coming in and using it. :)

    When I think of one of my favorite performances, I'll post it, but I'm not big on specific actors in specific movies. I'll have to think about it.

    Even if some one does mention it, I see nothing wrong with it, after all it was an incredible performance. The fact that he died only makes that role so much better since you'll never see him do another role like it.

    I can see your point though, as many people are trying to honor his memory by making reference to his joker role.

    To the OP...

    Edward Norton in Fight Club
    Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York
    Brad Pitt in Twelve Monkeys (Really weird movie though)

    I'm sure I will think of more later...
