      I agree, however the movie’s main criticism of bad stigma of the illness DID does annoy me, but fictionally its a good film, and he’s of course great in it, scary as well - tho this is also a problem (showing DID people should be feared and are inherently dangerous).

    How in the hell is _Split_ only at number 3? Sure, his performance in _Atonement_ might have earned him a Golden Globe nomination, but I feel _Split_ is the film that shows him at his most fearless, so to speak, which I think matters more than anything.

    Hell yes, I agree with the top five in exactly the same order. Given what little time is spent with Robbie and Cecelia together, the intensity of their connection still sells absolutely. I think why McAvoy's characters are so charismatic is due to his ability to play them vulnerably, making his Robbie right on the dime, and every other character he plays in the top five utterly proves it.

    His best performance is in Glass. He plays like 23 +1 characters. And he changes trough those personalitilies so well it’s questionable if he is acting or this is natural.

    I understand why Tumnus wasn't on this list - he wasn't really in the movie enough. Just made my husband watch Penelope today.. He always gives amazing performances and never disappoints. I would have switched out Arthur Christmas with Gnomeo and Juliet though.

    Missing "Children of Dune" and "Becoming Jane." Otherwise, great list! James McAvoy is such a talent (and he is so handsome, which I know doesn't matter as much as his talent, but I have definitely crushed on him over the years! haha)

    He's an EXCELLENT actor. My favorite actually . . . He should have definitely gotten the OSCAR for: SPLIT, THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, WANTED, and ATONEMENT.
    I took ATONEMENT so personal that I could scarcely continue without a million tears falling down my face. He was absolutely wonderful in that movie. I felt so sad at the ending.

    He stands toe to toe with his bestie Michael Fassbender now, who is also a brilliant actor. His intensity is mesmerizing.
    They are truly two of the greatest actors of their generation and I admire them both.

    James' acting is powerful in every role..villain or hero..you always can relate to his character. I wouldn't compare the films..that's unfair. He is just excellent with every performance. The movies I have watched the most are 'Filth, Welcome to the Punch, Frankenstein, Trance and Submergance'...ah, and 'Split and Glass' of course.

      The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby- HIM
      It’s slightly different delivery, particularly when he gets hit by the bus (taxi? I can’t remember) and when they talk at the apartment in the end. My absolute FAVORITE scenes and they didn’t include them in the combined movie. 😔

      ​@dianaog67 the combined movie was only made on the studio's insistence to be released in theaters as one movie. The actual thing is to watch the his version followed by her version and be the judge yourself. That's the way they intended for it to be seen. What a beautiful piece of art!!
