I had this idea for a while. This is how it works: Show a clip of a best performance. It can be the best performance in a movie, the best of an actors career or just a performance that you really liked. Briefly explain the context of the scene.

Naturally this thread has the potential of giving away a lot of spoilers. So as a courtesy if you would be so kind to simply give the title of the movie first.

I' ll break the ice.

-American Psycho-

Christian Bale plays a psychopath. This scene takes place after a killing spree. He feels like he can no longer contain himself and he believes he can no longer get away with murder. So he calls his lawyer. This scene is amazing when you' re watching the movie.

The next day he actually runs into his lawyer but the guy thought it was a joke. LOL, the whole climax was his confession but his lawyer didn' t believe him.

-The Protector-

One of my favorite fight scenes, with Tony Jaa. No introduction needed, just watch.
