And now we have finally reached Number 1 in my countdown in my choices for Johnny Depp's best performances. It's quite long as I wanted to do this one justice, even though in the end I didn't talk about everything I could have.

It's also not posted here because LiveJournal was not cooperating with me... so with the help of my sister slwmtiondaylite , I posted it online on our web server. It also includes a list of our favorite characters, which differ from this list. :-)

This was fun to write out, though I don't think I will do this again any time soon. :-) 




So, now here is the link to my choice of Johnny's best performance. (follow the fake cut) 

("Allow me to be frank at the commencement...")

Continuing my list of Johnny's best performances.  Almost to the end.... ☺

#10. Agent Sands (Once Upon a Time in Mexico)
#9. Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow)
#8. Donnie Brasco/Joseph D. Pistone (Donnie Brasco)
#7. Gilbert Grape (What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?)
#6. Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands)
#5. Ed Wood (Ed Wood)
#4 Sir J.M. Barrie (Finding Neverland)
The Honorable Mentions  

#3 Sweeney Todd (Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street)

 

I just found this video on youtube.  It's a composition of two videos.  The first one is Stephen Sondheim teaching a class on how to sing My Friends from 1984 and added in are clip of Johnny singing it as well.  It shows how Johnny actually does what Sondheim wanted.

 

Continuing my list of Johnny's best performances.  We're down to the last 3 :-)
