4. Bryan Cranston - Drive (2011)

Honestly, this entire list could have been dedicated to Bryan Cranston. Saving Private Ryan, Trumbo, Little Miss Sunshine, Isle of Dogs and so many more have benefitted from his presence, and been great movies in their own right.

For this list, though, we're going with Drive, an uber-stylish crime thriller which follows an unnamed stunt driver (Ryan Gosling) as he moonlights as a getaway driver and forms a connection with his neighbour (Carey Mulligan), only for everything to hit a snag when after a job-gone-wrong.

Cranston turns up in small but pivotal role as Shannon, the Driver's closest friend and an auto repair shop owner who works as a criminal fixer.

With its methodical pace, excellent performances (Gosling, Mulligan and Albert Brooks shine), shocking violence and perfectly conceived action sequences, Drive remains one of Cranston's best projects, and one of the strongest, most unique action flicks of the last 20 years.
