"row row row your boat....."
That role was his first ever film role and more or less stalled his career - he mostly only ever got offered similar roles offered to him."row row row your boat....."

On a musical front the performance by Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson) for the Led Zepplin in 2012 a the Kennedy Centre is quite breathtaking. On decent speakers this is amazing.

Thanks for the link terrific stuff.www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf2O3OAQjng
Heart- The Hattie Jacques and Twiggy of rock.
GOod suggestions all throughout.
For me though, even above some of the brilliance suggested, I think I would have to say Brad Pitt from The Assassination of Jesse James. He was utterly sublime and the scenes with him (which were most of them) were utterly electric (in a similar way to the tension in the first scene of Inglorious Basturds)
I just watched a couple of youtube clips and had forgotten how brilliant that one is (if you do the same do not watch one titled "best scene" because although it is true, it is also the perfect ending of the film and a giant spoiler)

two from the same film.
michael beins' "he absolutely will not stop..." speech from Terminator and then Arnie's first "I'll be back" in the police station followed by a cold calculated massacre of people in the station...
say what you will about arnie but he was tottaly emotionless and cold blooded in those scenes, chilling for its time...

Mr Pitt in Kalifornia, as the red neck Erley... Particularly unpleasant - great actingFor me though, even above some of the brilliance suggested, I think I would have to say Brad Pitt from The Assassination of Jesse James.

Have you seen any of the other films mentioned in this thread? In fact have you seen any films at all that do not have Arnie in them?michael beins' "he absolutely will not stop..." speech from Terminator and then Arnie's first "I'll be back" in the police station followed by a cold calculated massacre of people in the station...
