Fantastic film and great actor.

One of my favorite performances of all time was Björk in Dancer In The Dark.

I will not link to any scenes as that may spoil it for any who have not watched it.

Warning though....it is one of the saddest movies of all time.


Ellen Page in Juno was also brilliant and a wonderfull movie.

Not if you're Irish...

Michéal is the Irish way of spelling it :D

I can't really think of any memorable scenes from movies. Well, aside from this from Apocalypse Now with Robert Duvall. I think one of the comments sums it up best.

"What makes it even better is how bombs and gunfire are going off all around him and Colonel Kilgore doesn't even flinch while the men he commands do, it just goes to show how long the man had been in this insanity known as war, and there was no way he was getting out now. Robert Duvall did an excellent job of portraying how insane this man had become due to war, honestly it is the best part of the entire film and if it had ended right there I would not have felt like my time had been wasted."

What about the final scene from Butch cassidy and the sundance Kid, when they run out with some hope and we know what they face.
then True Grit, when John Wayne takes the reins between his teeth and yells 'fill your hands you son of a bitch' and then rides down hill firing both guns, pure pantomime.
then some like it hot , at the end when jack Lemmon says to joe E Brown "I'm a man" and Joe E replies "nobody's perfect"
and i am just watching the wonderful alan Rickman playing a pantomime baddie Sherrif of nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of thieves
then we haven't even started on laurel and hardy.
