Performances: #67-65

67. LESLIE NIELSEN (Airplane!)




Nielson is absolutely hysterical in possibly the best comedic performance ever. As "Dr. Rumack," Nielson makes his hilarious lines even funnier when he delivers them in perfect deadpan. A knockout!

Clip from 'AIRPLANE!': "You can tell me, I'm a doctor."




66. TIM CURRY (Clue)



Another fine comedic performance. Curry is Wadsworth, the butler who's actually the one running the show - and he makes it quite clear. His manic actions and controlling ways are great as they interact perfectly with the six other bumbling guests.

Clip from 'CLUE': No there is, or no there isn't?




65. JANET LEIGH (Psycho)



















A very memorable performance. Leigh is (doomed) Marion Crane, making her genuine and quite relatable. Not to mention, her facial expressions are golden. (Also not to mention the "little-known shower scene," below.)

Clip from 'PSYCHO': Rrr, rrr, rrr, rrr...
