Pacino as Montana was an outstanding performance as was De Niro as Bickle, but both those actors have gone onto 'star' in several pathetic outings. Daniel Day-Lewis is in the same exalted company as Depp and I would also love to stick Del Toro or Cusak in there but alas they have both fucked up at various points of their careers.
But wait a second, I have neglected forest whittaker whose acting prowess is mighty but ultimately a little off Depp's abilities in terms of versatility.
Part of my adoration for Depp is based on his impersonation of Thompson who was a man I respect and learn from even to this very day, but I cannot suggest a film in which Depp has been unsatisfying...so he would get my number one vote if we were actually voting.
As to non english speaking actors: I am a growing fan of Vincent Cassell who has undeniable presence on screen and one of the world's finest women by his side.
