Actually I’ll switch Top Gun with Tropic Thunder. Even through Cruise is only in it for like 5 mins it was the best 5 mins ever.

I had NO idea that was Hackman in Young Frankenstein!!
To fully appreciate that scene you need to see the original that it's based on, which IIRC is Bride of Frankenstein. (1935)

Matt Damon's is easy.

Awesome.

The story of how they got to that whole gag is pretty funny as well.

They did not intend on making him “special”, but when his puppet was done, they hated it, because it made him look “special”. It was too late in production to have it remade, so they changed the character to the classic that it became.

All good choices. However I have different choices.

Cruise - A Few Good Men. Perfect role to highlight his cockiness. Hon Mention - The Firm
Clooney - Out of Sight. The quintessential Clooney and Soderberg's first real great film. Hon mention - Michael Clayton
Damon - Good Will Hunting. The movie that vaulted him to the top still was his best performance. Hon Mention - The Martian
Willis - Die hard. One of the greatest action movies ever made. Hon men - Sixth Sense
Hackman - Hoosiers. So many great choices but he was tremendous in this role. Hon mention. Unforgiven
What about Hackman in Crimson Tide?
