Forgotten Great Film Performances

Colleen Camp - 📽️ They All Laughed (Peter Bogdanovich, 1981)
Camp is so charming in this stacked ensemble romantic comedy, Bogdanovich’s favourite of his own films. Her showcase parts are always spunky, sexy, funny, and more memorable than the written role. Her acting while singing here is divine.

Dianne Wiest - 📽️ Rabbit Hole (John Cameron Mitchell, 2010)
It’s hard to imagine a stronger ringer than Wiest, the only living person to win Best Supporting Actress twice. Mitchell deploys her as one of Nicole Kidman’s best-ever scene partners, with a monologue on grief that’s the film’s best scene.

George Gaynes - 📽️ Police Academy (Hugh Wilson, 1984)
This movie is so stupid. A lot of the time, it barely even has real jokes. So it’s a lot more watchable than it should be with the help of cast standouts like G.W. Bailey, Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, and Gaynes—who channels Leslie Nielsen.

Tatsuya Nakadai - 📽️ The Sword of Doom (Kihachi Okamoto, 1966)
In one of his best performances, the Japanese legend plays a swordsman protagonist who is nastier and more bloodthirsty than you’ll ever see in classic Samurai films.
RIP to one of the most versatile, mesmerizing actors of the century.

Stephen Geoffreys - 📽️ Fright Night (Tom Holland, 1985)
If you know, you know. Chris Sarandon and Roddy McDowall get earned plaudits for this film, but don’t forget Geoffreys as the strangest and grossest of all, complete with an unforgettable ending. He grants the film energetic, funny personality.

Andrea Riseborough - 📽️ Possessor (Brandon Cronenberg, 2020)
This is a gross and unique take on possession horror, and a lot of it rests on Riseborough’s blank, bizarre, detached character. It’s probably her best work, winning a film that has Christopher Abbott, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Sean Bean.

Mark Strong - 📽️ Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Tomas Alfredson, 2011)
This movie is so damn good that it’s hard to pick standouts from the supporting cast, but my mind always drifts to Strong—who everyone rushes to cast after this. He opens the movie, haunts its margins, and serves as its conscience.

Angela Bettis - 📽️ May (Lucky McKee, 2003)
Another case of “the less I tell you about this movie’s plot, the better”, but a lot of cult movie fans already know. Bettis holds her own as the star opposite Anna Faris, Jeremy Sisto, and James Duval as our unforgettably unhinged (yet sweet) protagonist.

Ian McKellen - 📽️ The Keep (Michael Mann, 1983)
Mann’s gonzo horror-fantasy epic was a maligned failure that has since amassed a cult following. The early McKellen role is one of the highlights; he’s the historian entangled in doing the bidding of the demon Molasar. Nobody sells hot nonsense better.

Lisa Bonet - 📽️ Angel Heart (Alan Parker, 1987)
This casting was the subject of much debate and controversy at the time. Revisited today, it’s clearly one of the great debuts in a major film. Bonet learned the voodoo and stood out in a film with Mickey Rourke, Charlotte Rampling, and Robert De Niro.

Riley Keough - 📽️ It Comes at Night (Trey Edward Shults, 2017)
As a horror-mystery, Shults’ movie was wildly divisive. But most people would agree the cast is one of its top strengths. The always immersed Keough is best in show, and her tense talk with Kelvin Harrison Jr. is the film’s high point.

Diane Keaton - 📽️ Mrs. Soffel (Gillian Armstrong, 1984)
Every Keaton performance is too undeniable to call forgotten, but this is definitely one more young film fans should see. It’s a complex moral balance of tone work from a great director, and rests on her expressive face. RIP to one of the best.

Adrian Grenier - 📽️ Trash Fire (Richard Bates Jr., 2016)
The less revealed about this haunting horror-dramedy, the better. But Grenier does the depressed, pained, best work of his career here sparring with greats like Sally Kirkland and Fionnula Flanagan. Buried family secrets ensue and explode.

Isla Fisher - 📽️ Definitely, Maybe (Adam Brooks, 2008)
Every studio romcom with a stacked ensemble is bound to have at least one knockout performance bringing their A-game. Armed with Hollywood’s best fake American accent, Fisher charms every second as the lovable and darkly funny April.

Chi McBride - 📽️ The Frighteners (Peter Jackson, 1996)
Everyone brings their A-game in Jackson’s horror-comedy, but McBride’s permanently ‘70s-styled, shouting ghost is a real treat. He exists for jokes but has an emotional arc too, and lovely banter throughout with Michael J. Fox and Jim Fyfe.

Don Harvey - 📽️ Casualties of War (Brian De Palma, 1989)
Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn go so big in this movie that the supporting cast’s naturalism saves the tone of the harrowing true story. Harvey is haunting as the most monstrous and animalistic of the soldiers. He deserves a comeback film role.

Paul Dooley - 📽️ A Perfect Couple (Robert Altman, 1979)
Often the best romcom stars are those who never expected to lead one, and career character actor Dooley is the epitome. As square Alex, he blusters around making mistakes with his girlfriend (Marta Heflin) and domineering father (Titos Vandis).

Barbara Loden - 📽️ Splendor in the Grass (Elia Kazan, 1961)
It makes perfect sense someone with instincts this keen, specific, and unexpected would fast become one of the important and iconic female filmmakers. Loden shoulders strange and dark scenes as Warren Beatty’s sister, a 1920s flapper.

Too few people know Reisz’s addictive gambling masterwork anchored by James Caan’s best performance. His greatest equal in the film is Sorvino as Hips, the mafioso bookie who is Caan’s frustrated frenemy. It’s one of his finest roles.

Davika Hoorne - 📽️ Pee Mak (Banjong Pisanthanakun, 2013)
It’s likely you’ve never seen anything quite like Pisanthanakun’s romance-horror-comedy-parody about ghosts. Thai star Davika is a riot, slaying and haunting a true idiot protagonist in the folklore-based story of a rather cursed village.

Liam Neeson - 📽️ Breakfast on Pluto (Neil Jordan, 2005)
Neeson really gets to flex different muscles than usual with his emotive roles in the Jordan movies. What seems like an early cameo here returns as the heart of the story in a loaded, beautifully performed reunion with Cillian Murphy as Kitten.

Oksana Akinshina - 📽️ Lilya 4-Ever (Lukas Moodyson, 2002)
Moodyson made one of the only great and appropriately sensitive films about human trafficking. A big part of the reason is giving most of the film over to trust in Akinshina’s totemic performance of resilience, always more than a victim.

Kevin Tighe - 📽️ Matewan (John Sayles, 1987)
One of the best Sayles regulars, Tighe made a fantastic villain smirking and snarling as Hickey, with Gordon Clapp as his psychotic attack dog. They shine as detective/enforcers for the mining company exploiting the miners led by the great Chris Cooper.

RIP to the English badass from many underrated gems: Theorem, The Collector, Poor Cow, Billy Budd… His role in The Hit is a thrilling co-lead versus a chilling John Hurt. As the gangster witness, Stamp was the picture of slippery, wily competence.
