Best Acting Performances in Commercial Movies

Here is a list to give credit to our all time favorite performances in films made for movie goers in general.

Performances in comic book films, YA adult franchises like Twilight, comedies, romantic comedies, and any movie franchise or summer flick have a place in this list. Because actors who do these kind of movies deserve our love as well.

The Top Ten

1 Joaquin Phoenix - Joker

Even though I wasn't a huge fan of the plot of this movie, as I felt that it moved along a bit too slowly, I think Joaquin Phoenix did a great job and was the best live action Joker we have seen. Joaquin Phoenix definitely deserved his Oscar for his performance here.

2 Johnny Depp - Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

3 Alec Guinness - Star Wars

4 Hugh Jackman - Logan

5 Robert Downey Jr. - Iron Man

A really cool, funny, confident and very sexy performance from RDJ.

Plus through all the franchise he showed us Tony Stark's evolution.
