I don't know about great acting overall, but I just saw Year of Living Dangerously again with Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver, and there is all kinds of fine acting in it, including Mel being not only amazingly handsome, but also revealing a moral weakness that is quite convinving. The best moment of the movie is a brief scene where Sigourney Weaver is walking in the rain drunk with desire for Mel Gibson that I found quite amazing, something I had not seen in her acting before -- Linda Hunt was also quite superb. As someone who spent a bit of time wandering around countries and cities in the 3rd world, I always recommend the film -- but I hadn't seen it in awhile. yours, Peter T,
