Interesting list. I would change the order personally. But popular modern performances seem to get extra credit.

JMO...

the list pays plenty of attention to contemporary actors and gives so much weight to popularity of the character portrayed rather than the actual performance... I'm not much into lists really but there are some omissions I've noticed...

Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd

Walter Matthau in The Fortune Cookie

Donald Pleasence in Cul Due Sac

John Cazale in Dog Day Afternoon

I definitely agree with Takashi Shimura in Ikiru but Toshiro Mifune in Yojimbo? Yeah, he was great in that film but he was really in his element in "I live in fear..."

It Appears to be as they'd have Day-Lewis' performance in My left Foot on there too.
