What is the best aging by one actor in a film? I mean, the makeup was done so well that it looked like the actor actually aged. I pick Vladislav Dvorzhetskiy who played Berton is Solyaris.
Boyhood doesn't count.
Reverse aging: Jeff Bridges in Tron: Legacy.

shareI've always avoided this because it's a Western. Is it worth watching?
shareIt's one of my favorite films, and I don't care much for Westerns. It's certainly not a Western in the traditional sense, because they get rich discovering oil, disrupting the traditional rancher way of life.
shareIf you're not a fan of Westerns then I guess it's worth watching. I can only stand Westerns every now and then.

shareIan McDiarmid as Palpatine in Return of a Jedi. He was only 34 or 35 years old while filming it, but he looked much older.
shareIt was so cool how the timing worked out that without makeup he could play the younger Palpatine (which was the older McDiarmid) in the prequels.
I recently watched the Loudest Voice and the make up used on Russell Crowe to portray Roger Ailes was fantastic.
I second "somesunnyday, with Max Von Sydow in The Exorcist.
But are we forgetting Dustin Hoffman in "Little Big Man"?
Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button. It won the Oscar and it deserved it ;)
