95. NICK NOLTE
North Dallas Forty (1979)

As jaded NFL vet Phillip Elliott, Nolte evokes the essence of an aging jock with body language alone: You can almost hear the joints creaking. But what makes this vintage Nolte is Elliott's burning rebelliousness as he flouts team rules and league regimentation. He's the Cool Hand Luke of the locker room, a cigarette hanging out one side of his mouth and sarcasm spilling out the other.
