Greatest acting performances of all time...

[OB1]

De Niro in Raging Bull was first thing that jumped to mind but he gave several stunning performances from Taxi Driver to The King of Comedy; which I would say were the greatest run of performances by any actor.

His "co-star" in Godfather II - Al Pacino - gave fantastic performances in the first two Godfather movies.

Sean penn- Carlitos way!

Tom Hardy - Bronson
Eric Bana - Chopper

If it's hard men roles, then I'll plump for Paddy Considine in Dead Man's Shoes.

Good call and a great actor.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindlers List.

Crossed my mind but I only saw the film once, when it was released, (also read the book first and probably should have put that in my ten) and that was enough for me.
