August 9, 200718 yr Some names to throw out there Humphrey Bogart Paul Newman James Stewart Jack Nicholson Marlon Brando Al Pacino Peter O'Toole Robert de Niro Henry Fonda Harrison Ford Dustin Hoffman Robert Redford Kirk Douglas And for recent actors Ed Norton Brad Pitt Leo DiCaprio Sir Ian McKellan Tom Cruise Daniel Day-Lewis
August 9, 200718 yr I'm a fan of most of the names you listed but you left out two of my favorite actors and my favorite actress: William Holden: The Bridge on the River Kwai Stalag 17 Sunset Boulevard Sabrina The Wild Bunch Burt Lancaster: From Here to Eternity The Leopard The Train Sweet Smell of Success Separate Tables The Killers Audrey Hepburn: Love in the Afternoon Charade Roman Holiday Sabrina Breakfast at Tiffany's
August 9, 200718 yr Author I like Holden's movies more than I like him. His costars usually gave better performances than he did. Stalag 17 (the Betty Grable obsessed guy) The Bridge on the River Kwai (Alec Guiness) Sunset Boulevard (Gloria Sawnson) Network (Peter Finch) I don't really like The Wild Bunch but I'd still go Ernest Borgine(?) over him.
August 10, 200718 yr What about Tom Hanks? He's been in quite a few good movies: Saving Private Ryan The Green Mile Toy Story (and Toy Story 2) Forrest Gump Apollo 13 Philadelphia A League of their Own Sleepless in Seattle Big Splash Bachelor Party ["And remember, bitches back in 45 minutes, or Milt cuts your balls off!"]
August 10, 200718 yr It's pretty amazing how many good directors Tom Cruise has worked with... And in a stream of consciousness moment, that reminds me of how many great movies Dustin Hoffman has been in: The Graduate Midnight Cowboy Papillon All the President's Men Marathon Man Kramer vs. Kramer Rain Man Tootsie Run Away Jury ...

I think most of those are far from great and I think Runaway Jury is garbage.

Stalag 17 (the Betty Grable obsessed guy) The Bridge on the River Kwai (Alec Guiness) Sunset Boulevard (Gloria Sawnson) Network (Peter Finch) I don't really like The Wild Bunch (it had problems with narrative for me) but I'd still go Ernest Borgine(?) over him. Guinness was great on The Bridge but I think the Betty Grabble guy was "Animal" and I would prefer if he was edited out of the movie. This is the kind of movie I can watch over and over but after so many times Animal gets annoying.
August 10, 200718 yr William Holden: The Bridge on the River Kwai Stalag 17 Sunset Boulevard Sabrina The Wild Bunch throw Network in there.
August 10, 200718 yr I think most of those are far from great and I think Runaway Jury is garbage. :| You are dead to me. DEAD TO ME!
