Movies that have GREAT ACTING

[Jorge]

I'm not talking about movies with one single good/great performances. I'm not talking about movies where the average performance quality is high, like an 8 or an 8.5. I'm talking about movies you watch FOR the acting. Movies where everyone is firing on all cylinders, and even when the story or the filmmaking themselves are merely "OK," the acting makes the whole thing worthwhile.

May be a cliché but for me that's Glengarry Glen Ross. Everyone is just perfect and it's so fun to watch.

Also Doubt, extremely powerful performances from everyone including my baby girl Amy

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Glengarry was the one that first came to mind for me as well. The Death of Stalin is a good recent example of an ensemble movie with equally great performances from the mains. Another possibly cliched answer: Nashville.
