You're leaving it up to interpretation, just what you mean by "top." Not sure if you mean who I think are the "best" ones or who are my "favorites" (yes, I do see a difference). So I'm taking it to mean the latter. (Sorry, trying to protect myself by reading all the small print. You never know who might sue you. )
Basically in order:

Gregory Peck
Spencer Tracy
Cary Grant
Gene Kelly
Charlie Chaplin
Paul Rudd
Albert Brooks

Ruth Gordon
Dianne Wiest
Glenn Close
Meryl Streep
Madeline Kahn
Lee Remick
Carole Lombard

- Jake

Just came back to edit the above. First of all, I had meant Peck when I typed in Tracy - they did both play lawyers. Also, since others aren't sticking to ten, me neither.:> )

I'm not George Sanders's biggest fan, no. However, Edgar G.

That's my favorite Sanders performance, followed probably by his dastardly cousin in Hitchcock's Rebecca.

Sanders was also excellent as the King in Preminger's Forever Amber, another film that should have served as the model for GWTW & directorial style & personality. (I'm an oddball Preminger fan because I consider Whirlpool his greatest & one of Ben Hecht's best & weirdest screenplays.)



Sanders's role in All About Eve is a bit of a puzzle because I can't quite tell whether he's meant to approximate George Jean Nathan or James Agate.
