#3 Anthony Hopkins - John Quincy Adams (AMISTAD) - One of the most powerful films of the '90s, and Hopkins is simply perfect. #2 Anthony Hopkins - Richard Nixon (NIXON) - Hopkins doesn't go so much for impersonation as personification. This is one of the most overlooked films of the '90s, and one of the best president movies ever. That Oliver Stone made this makes me want to see W. #1 Paul Giamatti - John Adams (JOHN ADAMS) - I am going to be writing about this HBO miniseries soon, and using MANY CAPITAL LETTERS TO EMPHATICALLY MAKE MY POINT, so you might as well put it in yourNetflix cue. Giamatti's role of a lifetime.
