Aamir in Akele Hum Akele Tum (I still cry whenever I see the scene where Aamir looses the custody battle for his son against his wife and he has to pack his son's belongings so that his ex-wife can take him away...perfection itself!)
Saif Ali Khan in Parineeta (Perhaps, I was the only one who was not so mesmerized by Vidya in the movie, but completely bowled over by Chote Nawab's spellbounding performance as the arrogant, immature yet immensely likeable Shekhar Rai!)
Siddharth in Rang De Basanti (Just loved, loved, loved the climax where he speaks on the radio...even though the entire cast was beyond brilliant, somehow always felt that it was Siddharth's movie all the way!)
Amitabh in Viruddh (He has given umpteen splendid performances, but this role of a greiving father in search of justice for his son was certainly one of his best!)
Anupam Kher and Rohini Hattangady in Saaransh (It was Anupam Kher's debut movie in which he plays a 60 year old man grappling with the sudden death of his only son. The dignity and pathos that both Anupam and Rohini bring to their roles cannot be put in words!)
Chandrachur Singh in Maachis (A gem of a movie and perhaps one of the most underestimated performances of its time!)
Darsheel Safary in TZP (The best performance by any child artist in a hindi movie!)
Jugal Hansraj in Masoom (Those innocent blue eyes were enough to melt anyone's heart...if anyone could act without the aid of dialogues, then it was this 10 year old kid! I can never forget that one line he utters in the film, 'Kya aap mere Papa hain?' Oh God, I tear up just thinking about it!)
Madhuri Dixit in Mrityudand (Powerful yet never over the top!)
Shabana Azmi in Arth (Poignant, resonant and heartbreaking! Only Shabana could bring so much class to the character of a woman abandoned by her husband!)
Revathy in Mouna Raagam (This Mani Ratnam directed movie is a Tamil Classic and Revathy's potrayal of a young bride grappling with her past love and present marriage is the stuff of legend in Tamil Cinema)
Mohanlal in Bharatam (People who don't watch Malayalam movies really loose out on something special! To watch this guy act is just something else! Arguably one of the best actors this country has ever seen and this movie is undoutedly his crown jewel!)
Lots more actually, but these are some of the one I always remember!
