Best Betty White film performance?
After looking at her filmography, I realized she was in very few films. She had a 37 year gap between films.
However, she made a memorial performance in all the films she was in.
Note- voice overs, self cameos, and direct to video films do not count.

The best film she did was Advise and Consent.
The most memorable performance she did was as the crazy lady in Lake Placid.

Crazy to think she did not a single film from 1961 to 1999

Her sublime performance in 1977's "Sue Ann's Cream Pie Buffet" was largely ignored by the academy. She helped her co-star Harry Reams do some of the best work of his career.
Interesting trivia: the role was written for Lucille Ball, but Gary talked her out of it. Betty's casting prompted the title change from the original "Here's Juicy!"

How is Lake Placid winning?

Betty White was perfect in Lake Placid. This sweet, kind, and elderly woman was the big plot twist. She was the best thing in an otherwise shitty movie.

Basic Instinct. She was Johnny Boz's killer with the blonde wig.

She wasn’t an actress. She was a cunt.

She was great as Nomi Malone in Showgirls.

She was James Brooks first choice to play Helen Hunt's mother in As Good as it gets but dropped out because of the scene where the puppy gets put in the mail shoot.
A shame because I think she would have been really good in it.

I never saw her in a movie but she was great on the Carson show. Johnny loved to cast her in skits with his Mighty Carson Players.
