Note: Each thespian has a list of films that s/he gave his best performances in. The number varies as according to her or his body of work. It's based on what I have seen so far. There may be honorable mentions in that order.

Multiple parts (i.e. duology, trilogy, etc.) can be put together as one if there's a continuation in the narrative. Miniseries and telefilms are fair game, but documentaries are excluded. These films have made the cut when I think about cultural phenomenon, uniqueness, famous movie moments, iconic scenes and/or lines, cinematic power, and timelessness.

If a thespian is missing, it's because I haven't seen enough films to make an accurate judgment or there aren't many great performances out of her or him to warrant a list.
