Never actually seen Munchausen, but that's the only thing keeping the excellent Brazil from being in the mix as well.

Way Of The Dragon

Enter The Dragon

Well, we had Cazale already in a similar thread, I think offered by Mook. Maybe we could limit it to lead roles when listing actors.

[ZonkoVille77]

The first page of this thread pretty much has it all covered. Not much else for anyone to add really, is there?

Great film, that. Leonardo diCaprio had a decent run that included that film but not quite same standard. But he's been in some crackers too.
