<p dir="auto">It's somewhat hard to compare, because most of his other films are supernatural, and Kathy Bates brings a more naturalistic feel, but I think hers is the best I've seen.  My top ten would be:</p>
<ol>
<li>Kathy Bates, Dolores Claiborne</li>
<li>Jack Nicholson, The Shining</li>
<li>Piper Laurie, Carrie</li>
<li>Judy Parfitt, Dolores Claiborne</li>
<li>Tim Robbins, Shawshank Redemption</li>
<li>Gary Sinise, The Stand</li>
<li>Kathy Bates, Misery</li>
<li>Sissy Spacek, Carrie</li>
<li>Michael Clarke Duncan, Green Mile<br />
10(tie). Christopher Plummer, Dolores Claiborne and Shelley Duvall, The Shining</li>
</ol>
