Jason's top five performances?

In which films and TV series do you think Jason gives his best performances? For me it's the following.

1- Long Day's Journey Into Night
2- Once Upon a Time in the West
3- The Ballad of Cable Hogue
4- Washington Behind Closed Doors(TV series)
5- Julia

Re: Jason's top five performances?

Maddy, I like your choices but would add A Thousand Clowns, All the Presidents Men (for which he won an Oscar), and I found his performance in the 1955 TV version of The Iceman Cometh to be unforgettable.

Excuse me for talking while you're interrupting.

I haven't see The Iceman Cometh yet but really want to. Yes he is great in A Thousand Clowns and All the Presidents Men too.
