The way an actor can totally change her appearance and completely transform into a character, never ceases to amaze audiences. Sometimes actors have a little - or, in the case of Eddie Murphy, a lot - of help from make-up artists and personal trainers, while other times the illusion is achieved through a shift in carriage, a change of accent or a new haircut. Still other times it may have something to do with mood-altering substances. Whatever the trick may be, we’re saluting our picks for the top movie transformations of all-time. Click here to see who made the list.

The great Peter Sellers in "Dr. Strangelove".

He played the British exchange officer, the President of the United States, and Dr. Strangelove.

BunnyJH is absolutely correct. "Too Wong Foo" gives new meaning to "Man! I feel like a woman!" When Swayze looses his wig, it's a shock to see him as a man again!

How about Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire. Or Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Rebecca Romijn as Mystique in the X-men movies. Or any of the charactors from those movies.

Let's not forget John Travolta's fantastic transformation into Tracy Turnblad's mother Edna in HAIRSPRAY.
Hell, that counts for two, since Edna went from dumpy houswife to full figured Sex Kitten by the movies end!
