#8. orson welles in the third man


i love the original radio broadcast of graham greene's the third man. when i first saw the 1949 film, with its unique cinematography and eerie score, i became immediately enamored not only with carol reed, but the film noir genre. as the mysterious harry lime, welles' creepy, to-the-point vocal delivery alone should have won him an oscar. his sinister ruthlessness, delivered in an iconically villainous performance is what should have definitely won him an oscar. 

greatest moment: see below
