As a german native, I am still blown away by Meryl Streeps performance in Sophie's Choice. She is an american and speaks absolutely PERFECT german with (!) an polish accent - that alone makes her the master of phonetic language. I would have never believed that this could be possible, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears. I would have also named Silkwood as her second best performance, because of her astonishing range of emotions.

The best actor I've ever seen. I don't like it when people write that she's the best _female_ actor. I simply haven't seen anyone better; male or female. And men tend to have more dynamic roles to impress us with; mafia dons, serial killers, cops etc. Streep had 'The Iron Lady' but generally has made do with making less 'showy' characters compelling. And she always, always nails it. I'm English and grew up under Thatcher (sadly), and her accent and mannerisms in 'The Iron Lady' were utterly flawless. She's a one-off. Nobody can touch her - regardless of their gender.

Generally it's very difficult to choose, she is great in every role, she can play anything or anyone. And she has that amazing capability to make the people who watch her feel whatever she wants. That's so rare, and that's why Meryl Streep is one and to me the greatest living actress at least of her time, if not more.

No argument with the ten performances noted here, but what about her performances in Ironweed, Music of the Heart, Death Becomes Her, One True Thing, The River Wild, The Manchurian Candidate, August: Osage County, Angels in America, and everything else?

I was glad to see someone else mention August: Osage County. That's one I was hoping to see on the list, especially that one, actually. It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw that "Top 10 Meryl Streep Performances" was the next video coming up. I think it's an excellent film, and an underappreciated one as well! It shows how messed up family life can be and how quickly things can change. Meryl Streep was fantastic as always, as well as the supporting cast. Not too many unknowns or newcomers in this project at all. Mostly well established actors who likely read this script and signed on because they recognized what an outstanding film could be made, and they wanted to be a part of it! (If I were guessing anyway, lol) More people should check out this one and be happy they did! It's moving in several different ways, and I love it for it's rawness and honesty about subjects that aren't easy to address. Not the average, easily predictable plot or outcome, and that's a main quality I look for now, especially since I've gotten older and have seen the same old thing done, re-peat-ed-ly, and in the same old way. That's too easy...and boring, to boot! Life is messy! Situations in life are messy...and uncomfortable, unforeseeable, embarrassing, etc. Not to mention, completely uncontrollable, and that's the case more often than you'd like to think! There's not always a perfect, happy ending to every story! Tell me THOSE KINDS of stories! The unvarnished truth of relationships and families...with believable dialogue and reactions. Some people only like the lighter side of things in a movie, and say they want a diversion from the stress in their own lives. Sometimes I think the same effect can be achieved by watching and being thankful that your life is in better shape, by comparison at least, than the characters' lives are in the film you're watching. A change in perspective can be more powerful and more memorable than you might think. I'll stop raving about it now, lol, even though I was obviously highly impressed. I'm not sure what I was expecting, since I knew no background info prior to watching...but, it was definitely well worth the time spent!

She is extraordinary. I think her greatest performance was in Sophie's Choice. Not because she has been a lesser actor afterward, but because this role was so difficult and emotionally charged. I had read the novel before I saw the film. Contrary to what we usually think, the movie was better than the book because of Meryl Streep. She gave the Sophie character personality and depth that were not int he novel. She created Sophie. What a magnificent actress!!

She is truly a beautiful classy lady and I've never been disappointed in any of her movies. Always enjoyed all her movies truly an amazing amazing actress and I hope she keeps winning more and more Oscars too 👍👍👍👍

Brilliant! Just amazing in every role. I had the great pleasure of seeing her perform Puck in MidSummer Night's Dream on our English high school class field trip, I'm going to say 1977, while she was attending Yale Repertory. Our whole class was mesmerized and knew THIS was the way you performed Puck. How lucky we were to see her perform before she was even known or had done one single movie.

She's so amazing. Her performances are mind blowing. She;s such a transcendental actress. Watching her best performances gives me the chills. I can't believe she didn't win the Oscar for Julie & Julia. That is mind blowing. I saw The Blind Side and I don't believe Sandra's performance was nearly as Oscar worthy. I'd like to believe that Meryl gets more fulfillment from the work itself and from the amazing experiences that she gives to all her fans with her performances than any accolades she's won.

rockah12 Meryl Streep did NOT receive an Oscar nomination for Mamma Mia.

One of the most versatile actress in Hollywood ever. Give her any role she'll never dissapoint.

Ms. Streep has been my favorite since i first saw her in "Holocaust", that 1978 tv mini-series. Back in those days, I knew this lady would make it big, told all my friends about her.... time has proven that I was so right. Gosh, it is one big assignment rounding up a top ten of her greatest performances... I mean, there is no "half baked" acting here, everything she does is outstanding. Totally agree, by now she should have more than three Oscars. God bless you, Meryl! This is from your biggest fan in Panama, Latin America.

Too bad August: Osage County was not mentioned. I love that performance a lot.

+sashaqueenie Deanna Dungan (the woman from Broadway) shamed Meryl Streep. I saw the play. Dungan was phenomenal. Streep was a little over-the-top in my opinion. I think Dungan interpreted the character better. Much more likable and vulnerable. The play was outstanding. The movie was a little meh...

Yes!!! She did such a good job as Violet

you should of done top 20 when you got 18 oscar nominations and like 25 golden globe noms maybe more you need a bigger list

She was amazing in Mamma Mia! She performed the songs amazingly and her acting was as usual second to none

She is exemplary! Married to the same man for years, accomplished mother, accomplished actress, with great humility! what more can I say except that she is the best of the best! Bravo Meryl for the pleasure you have given us all on screen by interpreting all these roles to perfection! Thank you from France ! WE LOVE YOU !!!

I don't think anyone can truly point down any one role she has played that is one better than the other. Meryl Streep is the most talented and most greatest actress of ALL TIME. This woman goes beyond all the other Hollywood Legends before her.

I highly disagree with that, there are others. But she is great don’t mistake that. But she’s not the only one. To say that is absurd.

​@@cece8095It's called having an opinion. It's all right for a person to express their opinion, even if it differs from yours. A lot of people don't seem to understand that these days.

My favorite "River Wild"!

Mathias Garay well yes... even if I dont remember that film. Miranda though was super Iconic. It was Meryl’s best ever. Because it was Art, but also very Commericial. I play that movie in the lobby of a language school in Asia, if I want to make sure nobody lives the building. All the White Teachers freeze in the Lobby. If I want to know if a new teacher is gay, I play that movie by the time they are about to leave. They stick around until the movie is over. The straight guys watch it for a few minutes laughs too much and decides its gay. But would ask, what’s the tittle of this movie.

Sophie's Choice was when I knew that Streep possessed genius.

She's my favorite actress.

Thank you Meryl for an inspiring speech last night at the GGA

Sophie's Choice is the best example of her brilliance. Watch when she speaks of her father. You can see the pain of her lies as she tells them. The layers of her acting are remarkable. She is unique and the very best actor around. All glory is deserved. Awesome in Adaptation and many others. We will not see such brilliance again. Savor it. That she seems like a great person, dazzles us more. The best ever.

Sophie's Choice....not sure another movie ever touched me that way....only saw it once....still lingers...

Watch La Vie En Rose then. Marion Coutillard is phenomenal there.

she's the iconic and legendary Meryl streep!

nobody has made me cry more than this godess

Sophie's Choice gives me shivers it so amazing.

Best actress ever

Sophie´s choice, the best one. The scene of her "choice" is the most dramatical and cruel scene in the international cinema. Excellent performance of this excellent actress.

Till the end of time her name will be regarded as the best actor ever born😍

Meryl Streep is supreme. Her portrayals are outstanding.

Way back in 1981, when I saw her in "the French Lieutenant's Woman" I was hooked on Meryl. Even then, it was clear the caliber of her acting ability. She Is The Master! Throughout my life people have always told me I resemble her...the utmost compliment!

Death Becomes Her is my favorite Meryl Streep movie!!

there was an amazing performance playing Rene Zellwegers mom and dying of cancer....cried for days...

She is utterly brilliant. I mean she can speak 5 languages fluently, and 3 others passibly. That says a ton about an actor. And Sophie’s Choice is truly her best and always will be.

Streep is by far the most generous actor in the business. In DOUBT (2008), as great as she is, she allows Amy Adams, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and most especially Viola Davis, to upstage her when she deems it necessary, and the result is sheer artistry.

The greatest actress ever lived ...! Unparalleled brilliance !

Phenomenal actress!

she is so incredibly, unceasingly amazing.

Scary how spot on her accents are.

Plenty! A brilliant performance in an overlooked film!

No mention of Sarah/Anna in The French Lieutenant's Woman. Just shows what an unbelievable list of performances she has. Just picking out Sophie's Choice, which is the most depressing film I've ever seen, but Meryl Streep actually brings a layer of humour to a character whose life is so heavily burdened with sadness and guilt.

A movie with her in it is bound to be a great one ! I have seen very few movies with her but have been moved each time with her outstanding performances !

I justa can't stand watching "Sophie's choice". I don't see Meryl Streep , i see one mother in front of a choice beyond every human being. That's the perfection of an actor !

What can one really say? She proves herself over and over as a genial chameleon. She captures you, she moves you, she renders you awestruck. I could go on indefinitely here...so I will give my opinion of which performance I believe to be her finest - or ONE of her finest: The Iron Lady. As I sat watching the first moments of the film, I was struck not by Meryl Streep, but by Margaret Thacher. She WAS Margaret Thacher - complete, mesmerizing, achingly human and unnervingly powerful. I was witness to all her facets. I rose in her triumphs, marveled at her brazen courage and I grieved in the despair of her decline. It was - in my life's experiences of film watching - THE finest performance I have seen, to date. (I felt nearly the same for Daniel Day-Lewis's "Lincoln")...and we grew up not far from one another :-)

I really wanted Into the Woods and Mama MIA to be put in there. She was really good in those movies too!
