Jessica Lange....Francis.

She should have won the oscar for that role.

Some truely great performances already mentioned and i'll add the cast of Once Upon A Time In America. A superb film that's often overlooked.

A wonderful score by Ennio Morricone too. It's widely believed the score would have won the oscar for best soundtrack if the Ladd Company hadn't forgotten to enter it in the first place...

Exceptional performances from Robert DeNiro, James Woods and
Elizabeth McGovern...

I'm glad several of you are mentioning Katharine Hepburn in "Alice Adams."

I'd forgotten about that one, but I agree with you! She manages to break your heart and make you laugh at her, all at the same time. The nuances are astounding.

Talk about being "tragically beautiful." It might even be my favorite of all her (many) outstanding film performances.

Thanks for "reminding me."
