Favorite Performances: Actor, 1925 - Blu-ray Forum

SelwynMcGinty · 10-15-2024, 09:50 PM

As the title of the thread suggests, we're looking to pinpoint the Best Celebrated Acting Performances of film history. Plenty of great turns get ignored or forgotten through the sands of time, and this is a quick way to review and vote for our favorites.

This is for the North American calendar release year of 1925, a time before the Academy Awards.

You may notice that the choices are primarily Leading roles, but I'm not going to disallow other selections. It doesn't seem fair or sensible to quibble about Lead/Supporting categories.

Feel free to discuss these or other choices, 1925 the movie year in general, or any other rankings or opinions.

Thanks to everyone participating in these crazy polls! Cheers!
