Not much female performances that I think are great. Sorry, just my opinion.

jodie foster in silence of the lambs

I'm shocked nobody has mentioned Russel Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind"..................like the guy or not, that was a brilliant performance.

Like someone said before, there aren't many female performances I consider "great" enough to crack my Top 10. The ones who come close...

Sigourney Weaver - Aliens
Jamie Lee Curtis - Halloween

Can't think of anymore after that.

WTF? u havent mentioned linda hamilton. her role in t2 as SARAH CONNOR is so strong. thats like the best role ever
