- Micael,

- Your list is pretty solid. However, Scent of A Woman or/and Hoffa belong there
- as well. Everybody's talking about Jack's perfomance(his best in decades)
- in Hoffa. I agree. He carries the whole film, without any doubt. But,perfomance
- of the year(I don't believe in having separate categories for male/female)
- definetly goes to Paccino(and not just because I'm his biggest fan :-).
- He totally outrates any single actor in any of the movies mentioned in
- your post. If any of you going to the movies soon,I would strongly recommend
- Scent of A Woman as a must-see film of the season.
-
- Personally,I think this is the strongest year for movies in years. We have
- at least 12 to 15 films to see that worth our time compared 7 or 8 for
- past few seasons.
