The key scene in Pawnbroker is... well, I can't tell you without spoiling it. But it's all in his face, all suggestion. You'll know if you see it.
A top ten actor for me, and this may seem silly, is Oliver Hardy. They might be broad comedy films, but his sensibility as an actor is nearly always superb. (He's terrible in Swiss Miss, though).
De Niro, I really like, though he can only play De Niro. Put him in something else - Frankenstein's monster, for example - and it's not so hot.
