Also in Boiler Room is Vin Deisel, the smallest you’ve ever seen him, and he does a great job and steals the whole movie. The guy’s smarter than he’d lead you to believe.

Agreed. I didn’t see Boiler Room, so Vin Diesel’s “wow” moment for me was in Find Me Guilty. A pudgy, yes pudgy and with hair, Diesel does comedy and drama equally well in a court room flick. Not an easy thing to pull off. I was impressed.

Brokeback Mountain sealed the deal with Heath Ledger for me. I couldn’t believe I was watching the same guy from A Knight’s Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You.

You couldn’t? People need to start respecting the performance of actors in non-serious movies.
Heath Ledger was great in A Knight’s Tale. Funny, heroic, romantic, charming He had the touching story with his father.
Not only that, it’s probably Paul Bettany’s best performance (I die every time I hear, “he once spent a year in silence. . .to better understand the sound. . .of a whisper.”)
And, Wash from **Firefly ** is in it.
Nice pull to** Pepperlandgirl** on Darth Vader in Shattered Glass. Anytime you dislike a PERSON that much, you know you got a great performance.
