Top 10 Most Memorable Supporting Roles

1. Vito Corleone played by Robert De Niro in The Godfather Part II
Accolades: Winner-Academy Aard Best Supporting Actor

De Niro's portrayal as young Vito Corleone remains one of his greatest performances. He had the challenge of playing the same iconic character that Marlon Brando won an Oscar for. His soft spoken perfermance added depth to a character that seemed almost flawless. Vito Corleone is one of the most fascinating characters in cinema history and De Niro's performance was almost as marvelous as Brando's. I could count on one hand the amount of times a supporting performance has had such an overpowering effect on an entire film.

2. The Joker played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight

All you fans of older films will probably tear me to shreds for having such a recent role so high on my list, but I am a sucker for the great modern films. Today, for a film to be truly good and have something original about it is as hard as ever. It is even harder for a performance to be great or even at the least, orginal. Heath ledger had to portray THE JOKER!! The last person to do a good Joker was JACK NICHOLSON!! So he takes that challenge and comes back with one of the greatest performances of the decade. So now that I have adequately explained myself I must now let you guys voice your opinions. But before you do just remember the performance, and how great it truly was...
