2. Just about any scene in The Ten Commandments
Nostrils flaring, bosoms heaving and in that contest Anne Baxter managed to keep up with Brynner and Heston.

However, to be fair, how could stable orbit acting be avoided given the dialog?

30. I haven't seen it since I was a kid, way back in the wayback.
I, Clavdivs, we called it (because of the stonecut letters in the opening sequence, and we pronounced the V's because we were clever kids...lol).

22. James Cagney's, "Ma died?" scene in White Heat.
Falling over the tables in the prison Mess Hall. Over the top? Sure. But great like all Cagney scenes.

26. A Few Good Men
Hi,
I would say any number of scenes in that, and any scene in any movie that involves Kevin Bacon.

Peace

33. ...and in Scent Of A Woman.
Every Frame. (In fact, I think the best scene was ripped off straight from And Justice For All.)
