Hmmm....I'll have to think about the female part as I feel women's roles have been pretty poor from the start of cinema up to today.

I knew Marlon Brando in LAST TANGO IN PARIS (1972) was going to be your choice, Mike...but, while I agree that it is an extraordinary performance, the dialogue he is made to utter...er...mumble is so utterly [sic] pretentious and self-indulgent!
And, surely, you can't be serious about your second claim, right?
P.S. On a less adventurous day, Falconetti in THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC (1928) would have been my obvious choice of best-ever female performance.
