By far, the greatest film actor of all time is Robert De Niro. A method actor of who is unmatched. The most over-rated actor is Tom Cruise, who is just the same guy in everyone of his roles but with a different character name.

Posted by Mr. Canuck on January 31st, 2004 at 4:02 am AST

Well folks! Film experts and critics all over the world say that American actor Robert de Niro is the most talented and acomplished film actor ever. I must agree. Taxi Driver, God Father II, The Deer Hunter, The King of Comedy, Cape Fear, The Fan, Awakenings and Raging Bull are just a few samles of his work, and I mean a few. No one! Not even Brando, Dean, Nicholson, Hanks, Pacino or Bogart come close to de Nero's acting genius...no one!

Posted by Brazilian on January 31st, 2004 at 7:23 pm AST

Mr.De Niro is certainly one of the greatest,but his performances in
the last 10 years,were all good,but only that.Nicholson was great in the 60's,the 70's,the 80's,the 90's,and he is great now.

Posted by Mr. Canuck on January 31st, 2004 at 9:57 pm AST

So De Niro is not great now? Hmmmm. So where has Dustin Hoffman and Anthony Hopkins been over the past 10 years? Yes these latter two are exceptionally skilled thespians, but they are generally remembered for one or two great roles from several years past. Hoffman's acting services are certainly not in big demand these days!

Posted by B.S on February 2nd, 2004 at 6:39 pm AST

The greatest actor ever that would have to go to Mr. Sylvester Stallone i mean come on Rocky maybe the greatest sports movies even and wait rambo one of the greatest action movies of all time i mean come on give the man some respect.

Oh yea i think Johnny Depp sucks for the fact that he can not act

Posted by Brazilian on February 3rd, 2004 at 5:56 pm AST

How about Nixon,Amistad or the Human Stain?Hopkins still great,and
Hannibal Lecter is the best of the bad guys of all times.Hoffman was great in Wag the Dog,better than De Niro(that's why he was nominated to the goldenglobes and the Oscar,and de Niro wasn't).

Posted by Mr. Canuck on February 3rd, 2004 at 8:21 pm AST

Yes Hannibal Lector was an evil person...not Hopkins. David Cardine could have played Lector and Lector would have been just as evil! Too bad De Nero didn't get Hoffman's Wag The Dog role, then De Nero would have probably acquired the Oscar and the Golden Globe. While you were checking the nominations and awards database you should have noticed that De Niro was also nominated for a Golden Globe in 2000 and again in 2001. This time however it wasn't for his intense drama or action roles, but instead, both cases were for being the funniest comedy actor of the year. That's quite an achievment. Have Dustin or Anthony done this? NO! In fact, De Nero won the American Comedy Award ("Best Male Comedy actor for Leading Role") for both those films. Back to back years! But I guess he's not great anymore...ha ha!

Posted by Brazilian on February 3rd, 2004 at 8:44 pm AST

Mr.De Niro is great(he is my number 4),but i like more Hoffman and
Hopkins.

Posted by Flim critick on February 4th, 2004 at 6:26 pm AST

Bar far the greatest actors of all time are:

1. Sylvester Stallone
2. Chuck Norris
3. Elvis Presley
4. Arnold Schwartzenegger
5. Pauly Shore
6. Keanu Reeves
7. Don Johnson
8. David Caridine
9. Steven Segal
10. Harold Ramis

I got all their autographs too!

Posted by Terminator on February 5th, 2004 at 6:10 am AST

Sorry Film critick, but it's Schwarzenegger. Ronald Reagen was the best.

Posted by Flim Critick on February 5th, 2004 at 4:04 pm AST

Sorry Terminator, but my name's Flim, and it's Reagan not Reagen. Good actors also make good politicians don't they?

Posted by Travis Bickle on February 5th, 2004 at 5:01 pm AST

A recent poll of thirteen hundred movie buffs in the UK resulted in Robert De Niro being voted the greatest movie actor of all time. De Niro even beat the great acting talent from the UK such as Sir Lawrence Olivier, John Hurt, Daniel-Day Lewis, Cary Grant and Anthony Hopkins.

Sean Penn is not in my list because he is a great actor,but there is always someone in his movies that has a better performance than
his:Benicio del Toro in 21 grams,Tim Robbins in Mystic River, Dakota Fanning in I am Sam,Samantha Morton in Sweet and Lowdown,etc.

Posted by carlito on February 8th, 2004 at 7:39 pm AST [email]

i think De Niro and Pacino are the best overall actors, but my favorite acting performance ever goes to Daniel Day Lewis for Gangs of New York. His Bill the Butcher is far more brutal than any gangster ever played by De Niro or Pacino, and id be hard pressed to find a movie with a gangster as terrifying as Bill.

Posted by TripleThreat on February 9th, 2004 at 11:23 am AST

Actors? For me?

1. Robert DeNiro
2. James Stewart

I feel sick

Posted by Cory on February 10th, 2004 at 5:05 pm AST [email]

first of all, how can you people put Schwartzenegger in some of your lists, thats like spitting in every other actors face and saying "a dumbass austrian is better then you!" HES TERRIBLE. so heres soem people to put in his place. you cant get through a best actors list without naming Willem Dafoe, what an actor. Also, gene hackman, along with De niro, Pachino, and Brando, those are no-brainers. A few you almost forget sometimes are William H. Macy, Tim Robbins, Dustin Hoffman, and Morgan Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, and Christopher Walken. The best young actors today are Jason Lee, and Sean Patrick Flannery

Posted by Cheryl on February 10th, 2004 at 5:49 pm AST

The most talented and most powerful actor of the last 30 years is Robert De Niro. I watch other stars on the screen too who are also great actors, but I still see those actors playing their charactors. With De Niro I only see the character he has become, not De Niro. "Travis Bickle" for instance (Taxi Driver), and Jake La Motta (Raging Bull). These performances by De Nero are considered to be the finest in film history.

Posted by Arnold on February 10th, 2004 at 8:29 pm AST

Cory, don't be a dumbass yourself. Can't you tell when you are reading sarcasism? The list you refer to with Schwarzenegger is actually a list of sadsack actors. The author of the list was being humorous, but I guess it went over your head!

Posted by The Guy from Rio on February 15th, 2004 at 5:17 pm AST

My favorite actors are Jack Nicholson,Tom Hanks and Gene Hackman, but it's hard to see movies made before the 80's in Brazil,so i haven't saw some of the performances that are considered the bests of De Niro and Pacino, that seems to be the favorites of the people here.

Posted by giovanni on February 17th, 2004 at 2:29 pm AST [email]

1.Marlon Brando=the idol of Robert de Niro and Al Pacino.Insofar as I understand and taking into consideration the opinion of the authorities of cinema,such as Elia Kazan,Brando is certainly the greatest........
2.Robert De Niro
3.Jack Nicholson
4.Al Pacino
5.Steve Mcquin
6.Paul Newman
7.Anthony Hopkins
8.Spencer Tracy
9.Anthony Quin
10.Jeremy Irons

Posted by Johnny Boy on February 17th, 2004 at 8:25 pm AST

Giovanni. Just read the biography of Robert De Niro "Untouchable". There is no mention of Brando being his "idol", and Brando is spoken of many times. Kazan is entitled to his opinion. Many, many other film directors, producers, actors, film critics and film buffs also say De Niro is the greatest actor of all time. Of interest however, is that both De Niro and Brando learned their method-acting styles from the very same teachers and schools in New York. But at least De Niro can control his weight!

Posted by ure all wrong in da orders on February 17th, 2004 at 8:57 pm AST

1. Robert De Nero

The list above me by "ure all wrong..." is pretty much along the lines of my opinion and thinking too.

Posted by The Guy from Rio on February 18th, 2004 at 9:17 pm AST

Posted by Bobby Milk on February 19th, 2004 at 12:48 am AST

De Niro as Jake La Motta in 'Raging Bull'. Awesome performance. And De Niro in 'Anaylize This' was too funny!

Posted by Anonymous on February 19th, 2004 at 1:36 am AST

First of all, Sean Penn has to be the greatest actor of this generation. Not only does he play each role to a key but he's not your average blockbuster/gorgeous actor. I laugh in your face whoever put Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, they may be nice to look at but talent wise... they got none. Other actors that I praise our Kevin Spacey, Denzel Washington and Robin Williams. But by far my vote goes to SEAN PENN!!! MISTIC RIVER WAS GREAT AND ONE OF A KIND THANKS TO SEAN.

1. SEAN PENN
2 SEAN PENN
3. SEAN PENN
4 SEAN PENN
5. SEAN PENN
6. SEAN PENN
7. SEAN PENN
8. SEAN PENN
9. SEAN PENN
10. SEAN PENN

Posted by COMMON SENSE on February 19th, 2004 at 5:22 pm AST

Sean Pean is a good actor. He can certainly be ranked among the best of HIS generation but he certainly is not a lone stand-out as you believe in your mind Mr. "Anonymous". See a recent Penn movie and you get all emotional. Either that or you work for his publicist. Like I said however, he's good.

Posted by The Guy from Rio on February 19th, 2004 at 10:11 pm AST

Like i said,my list is actually the best of the last 20 years.I never had the oportunity to see Raging Bull.

Posted by Bobby Milk on February 20th, 2004 at 12:21 am AST

Time is of no consequence Guy Rio. All films are readily available on VHS or CD. Good films and acting performances are timeless. Is Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn not still one of the greatest books in literature today?...you bet it is. It is still rated in the top ten fiction classics of all time. That is why you can walk into any book store today and buy a copy. De Niro is still young and still acting...and he still has greater talent than any actor today, young or old. He has many performances to come yet.

Posted by Regy on February 20th, 2004 at 5:54 pm AST [email]

Deniro and Pacino have become paradies of themselves. It almost happened to Nicholson but he manages to always infuse his characters with humanity. Deniro and Pacino have become fast food - McDonalds and Burger King. Nicholson is still a fine dining experience.

Posted by Common sense on February 20th, 2004 at 6:30 pm AST

Mcdonalds? Burger King? Fine dining? What the??? HAHAHAHA THAT IS HILARIOUS. TALK ABOUT PARODIES!

HEY "REGY" IF YOU HAVE TO PUT DOWN OTHERS TO HELP BUILD UP NICHOLSON'S STATUS THEN YOU HAVE BASICLY ADMITED THAT BOTH DE NIRO AND PACINO ARE BETTER OR MUST BE PRETTY TALENTED TO THREATEN YOUR OPINION OF JN. THANKS. YOU HAVE STATED WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW.

Posted by The Guy from Rio on February 20th, 2004 at 11:39 pm AST

listen,milk, i now i could have seen their movies made in the 70's on VHS(i don't have a DVD),because some of them may be hard to find,but certainly not impossible,but the thing is that I DON'T WANTED.I don't have to see this movies only to discuss if De Niro or Pacino are the greatest of all times.From their movies in that decade,i only saw Godfather,with Pacino(great performance,by the way).And on TV.

Posted by Hannah on February 22nd, 2004 at 12:02 pm AST [email]

The greatest actor just has to be Johnny Depp, he wins my vote, he's the best. Johnny Depp forever and ever. Go Johnny!
Orlando has to be another of the best, but he's quite wooden. He is great when he plays legolas, but has a soft voice for most other characters.

Posted by askdfjla; on February 22nd, 2004 at 6:25 pm AST

Any fucking stupid girls who come on here,I warn you shut your mouth with the Depp/Bloom propaganda i know they're both hot, hooray, but Depp's the only one who can act well, and he's still not top ten material so shut the hell up.

Orlando Bloom is very cult,but he is not a good actor.Depp,Rush and

Guys, Arnold Schwarzenneger and Sylvester Stallone are two of the best actors around. Working in action movies, doing difficult stunts and dangerous war scenes and keeping a straight face at the same time takes a lot of effort. they deserve to be in the top ten!

Posted by Common sense on February 26th, 2004 at 9:28 pm AST

Posted by Michael Wojcio on March 7th, 2004 at 12:22 am AST [email]

The best movie of all time is "It's a Wonderful Life"--

The best actor of all time is Jimmy Stewart.

Capra made it and the movie comes from a theme by one of the greatest writers of all time- Charles Dickens. In a "Christmas Carol" that he met one ghost who told him how the world would be if Scoorge wasn't around. Like the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" it explains what Jimmy Stewart's life would be like when Clarance (actor -Harry Travers)took him around granting his wish that he didn't exist.

The movie and Jimmy Stewart's performance as George Bailey and his other performances show a rare quality of the common man. He is in my opinion and will always be the best actor of all time.

Just look in a mirror. If you vanished right now how many people
would be affected by your passing? If it was just "one" you made an impact in the world. Jimmy Stewart affected all people in Beford Falls. (The new name would be Pottersville without him.)

It was a movie of fiction and Jimmy's favorite performance. However, the theme of the movie and Jimmy's performance made it real. It was so moving that I would dare to say Donna Reed became a famous actress just by this movie.

A sad note that it wasn't even voted the best movie that year. In fact it was voted the 11th best movie of all time (by the experts). (I have no idea who those expects were but they made a mistake.)

The movie even depicts how we dealt with our advesaries in life (Henry Potter played by Lionel Barrymore). We have to deal with them in real life- don't we? At first Jimmy (George) didn't do it well, but the the Angel Clarence (Harry Travers) showed him the way he finally appreciated what life is all about. Family, relatives, and friends! The little things in the world make us truly alive and give us inner strength and beauty to succeed in our own way. What a fitting ending with the love of everyone in town.

The movie will live forever like the legendary Jimmy Stewart- who was a gentleman, gifted actor, patriotic American and the best actor of all time!

2. Jack Nicholson ( One flew over the cuckoos nest )
3. Pacino ( Godfather 2 )
4. Tom Hanks ( forrest gump )
5. Sean Pean ( I am Sam )

De niro is amazing, his performance in raging bull will put him down as one of ,if not THE, best actor of ALL TIME. And noone can touch jacks performance in cuckoos nest ,but shining is close too, he plays a good crazy guy.

Posted by Bob on March 18th, 2004 at 3:41 am AST

Get a grip folks. Some people are confusing an 'actor' with a celebrity or movie star. A true 'actor' is not defined by one or two movie roles. An 'actor' plays a variety of characters. An 'actor' is different in every movie - different voices, behaviors, movements, delivery, facial expressions. A great 'actor' does not have a defined personna.

Top 5 actors:
Johnny Depp(In his own league)
Sir Lawrence Olivier
Robert Duval
Mike Meyers
Al Pacino

Posted by GP on March 23rd, 2004 at 9:13 pm AST

I don't understand? the top two actor's today are Denzel washington, and Tom Hanks both are making the best hit's why is Denzel only in a few top 10? maybe his race play's a part in it! I don't have a top 10 but the best
I saw are AL Pacino, Denzel Washington, Robert De Niro, and Tom Hanks. But the actor who changed it all is Eddie Murphy, what??? why??? how??? one movie did it, Beverly hill's cop
befor that movie all cop movie's had people with stone face's all the time, he put comedy in cop movie's, and showed the cop's can have fun.

the up and coming actor's are Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Johnny Depp, the actor i love to watch is Morgan Freeman.

Posted by Justin on March 23rd, 2004 at 9:45 pm AST [email]

You know what?I think that Johnny Depp deserves MILES more credit than he has been given.Sure not all his performances were great,but i swear,"BLOW"had me crying for a week straight,with his brilliant portrayal of real-life druglord,George Jung.Edward Scizzorhands was just a timeless classic to me,his performance was just...out of this world.Sure,"The Astronaut's Wife"wasn't any great shakes,but Johnny Depp is the best character actor of all.Other performances by J.D that blew me away-"Ed Wood",just an incredible work of art,his performance blew me away.Also there is the adorable "Benny and Joon",in which he plays Sam,a housekeeper who models himself after Charlie Chaplin.Cry-baby and Sleepy Hollow were alright,but there was one thing in common with all those movies;Johnny Depp truly stole the show,which he continues to do time after time.Pirates of the Caribbean was a movie unlike all the other ones he did in that it was a blockbuster movie,unlike any other projects he's done,preferring more artistic freedom than taking the Tom Cruise route.

Other actors that are extremely talented are:Bill Murray,Sean Penn,Bennicio Del Toro,Al Pacino,Charlie Chaplin,Jack Nicholson,Geoffrey Rush,and John Candy.Special congratulations to Johnny who truly defines talent and ambition.A true genious.

Okay although I am a girl in her late teans I completely HATE some of you pick actors by their looks not how they act... I mean Orlando Bloom?! I don't even think he's good looking and he can't act to save his life... Though Johnny Depp I must admit has had some good movies I still don't think he belongs on the top ten or twenties for that matter, anywho... these would be my picks(not nessesarily in order)

Robert De Niro (he belongs here! Awesome actor he's made each of the movies he's been in great)
Tom Hanks (is great in most of his movies).
Ben Stiller (very funny I love his acting style, though he kinda flopped in along came polly).
Tom Cruise (Was great in The Last Samurai, though I don't quite agree with other movies he's been in)
Phillip Seymour Hoffman (good actor)
Anthony Hopkins
Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago)
Julia Roberts (One of my favorites, I have always enjoyed most of her movies).
Russel Crowe (I just think hes a great actor)
Mel Gibson (I became a fan of his in BraveHeart)
Robin Wiliams (I don't see him up there but I believe he is one of the better actors)
Denzel Washington (He just belongs here)

Thats all I can think of for now, there are a few younger actors that are coming out but I think that those are the just of it as of now....

Orlando Bloom is an ovar-rated pretty boy who runs along the beach with his six pack and kayak like Shannon noll and guy sebastian.

ben kingsley, anthony hopkins, gene hackman can act alot better than "Oh my god its Orlando Bloom"

Posted by Kimi on April 8th, 2004 at 3:15 pm AST [email]

Oh yeah, that hurt. *sarcasm* Orlando ain't no over rated pretty-boy. He's sexy as hell and you know you wish you looked like him 'Jacob Micheal Dunstan'. Oralndo got a whole bunch more money than you and whole bunch more fans than you so I wouldn't crack. You jealous fags don't bother me no more. You just say stuff to get attention. LOSER!!!

Posted by The Guy from Rio on April 8th, 2004 at 9:22 pm AST

Yeah,LOTR was a huge sucess only because of Orlando Bloom's performance.Specially FOTR:people have never seen him,but they thought "Orlando Bloom?Beautiful name,so he must be a great actor. I think i will see this picture".After people saw that he was the greatest actor in the world today,better than Nicholson,De Niro, Spacey,Hackman,etc,everyone wanted to see Pirates.Long story short,
the LOTR triology was the most sucessful in the history of the movies only because of his extraordinary performance(he have not won the Oscar because he was "hors-concours")and the sucess of Pirates have nothing to do with Johnny Depp.If Bloom wasn't in this movies,they would not be seen by anyone.

By Smash, I did mean "Do Very Well".

I mean, he was in the LOTR series, Pirates 1, Black Hawk Down, and there's currently 6 movies coming out that he stars in (Pirates 2, Troy, Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven, Haven, and The Calcium Kid) and at least 3 of these will do extremely well at the box office.

Now, to the people who are saying that Bloom isn't a great actor, how is he getting all these roles? It takes more that "good looks" to continually land roles. Now, I'm not saying he's one of the best actors out there, I'm just defending him and saying he is not overrated... he's a good actor.

Posted by Kimi on April 10th, 2004 at 4:06 pm AST [email]

thanks brad pineau for not being a jackass like the guy from rio. and thanks for standing up for him too. i know i dont know him and im just a fan but it just makes me kinda happy..ya know? and actually i DID go see lotr b/c of him b/c my cousin said he was a really good legolas cause she had read the book and all. but whatever..you're still a jackass...but you have to like oralndo a little considering you keep taking the time to type up stuff about him.....

Posted by Krista on April 12th, 2004 at 12:43 am AST

OMG you guys Orlando Bloom did not make the movies great... LOTR was great because of everyone... Legolas only had a few great shots and in Pirates, it was good because of Johnny Depp, I hardly noticed Orlando Bloom in that!! God he may be a good actor but seriously he doesn't belong in the top 10s or 20s!!

Posted by kimi on April 12th, 2004 at 7:45 am AST [email]

WHATEVER! Hilary duff is a preppy girl who thinks she can act but can't. and the whole thing about orlando...its my OPINION. and krista..where did you come from? and yea, he does belong in the top 5! but im through talkin bout it. i love him, and NOTHING you say will change that.

Posted by Lynx on April 12th, 2004 at 10:38 pm AST

TOP TEN ACTORS OF THE PAST DECADE (or the 80's in some cases): (in order)

1. Johnny Depp (You have to admit: "From Hell", "Nightmare on Elm Street", "Pirates of the Carribean", "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?"..all of the potential to be classics, and some of them are cult hits.

2. Sean Connery (I'm suprised few -if any- mentioned him. The only thing that put him in second place to Depp was of lack of films that I've actually seen him in. But those of which I have he is utterly brilliant "Dragonheart", for example, and that's only one of the many greats!)

3. Ian McKellan (Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, he seriouslly should have recieved an Oscar.)

4. Mike Meyers (the man is a comic genius, few can surpass him in comedic roles. I loved "Austin Powers" and "Shrek"

5. Tom Hanks ("Forrest Gump" was outstanding, and although I have no seen it yet "The Ladykillers" looks hilarious!)

6. Tobey Maguire (The guy's a good actor, for what roles he has so far been dealt. "Spiderman" and "Seabiscuit" are both film gems, worthy of anyone's collection.

7. Elijah Wood (for such a young actor he has had many roles- serious and the not-so serious. He's proven himself to be quite the actor, and perhaps he will be the new leading man- even if some say that would go to Orlando Bloom. Though, I'm highly doubting that, however much I've enjoyed Bloom's work, which -I'll admit- were enjoyed on the more cliche level of his appearance.)

8. Josh Hartnett (looking past the "he's so dreamy" aspect of it, Hartnett has a few good films under his proverbial belt. "Pearl Harbor", "Black Hawk Down"..and has also had some films that maybe he should have sidestepped: "40 Days and 40 Nights."

9. Russell Crow (I have to give him this position for one movie, and one movie only, "A Beautiful Mind")

10. Nicholas Cage (He has one of those voices you can't forget, like Connery, and I was amazed when I saw him in "Gone in 60 Seconds"

Note: I might have included Brando, DeNiro, Duvall, and some of the other's, but for the simple fact I haven't seen those films at this time. My list includes young up-and-coming actors for the simple fact is that these actors are what I have seen as of late.

I'm sorry to all you Bloom fans, but I seriouslly wonder if he could actually carry a movie on his own. In all his films he's had someone to carry it along: Depp, Rush, McKellan, Mortenson, etc.) However, I would very much like to be suprised and have him do well.

And for the record: Hillary Duff is quite possibly the most horrible singer in existance. Being one of those "teens that hate her" I can say that willingly. The only reason that arrogant girl got a musical career was due to her show on Disney. Yes, I had to take a nasty jab at her -it was too hard to resist.

I agree "Rio." As I said, Bloom carrying a film on his own would be an interesting concept, except- he hasen't done it yet. Anyone notice that all his roles have been supporting? (C'mon think about it, PotC wasen't about Will Turner..or really any particular character)
Again, I love him to pieces, but he isn't THAT amazing to get a "10 Best" list.

Is anyone getting annoyed with all this orlando bloom crap!

I understand how he is so popular but he hasn't had a demanding role in a movie yet. Not like Pacino in Godfather or Freeman in the Shawshank Redemption.

Sorry but I definently agree with The Guy From Rio and Lynx!

Posted by jm on April 14th, 2004 at 5:29 am AST [email] [website]

by the way can anyone tell me what The House Of Sand And Fog was like

Posted by jm on April 14th, 2004 at 5:32 am AST [email] [website]

by the way it was pretty funny when The Guy From Rio was being sarcastic about the orlando bloom thing with kimi!!!

Posted by Lynx on April 14th, 2004 at 8:13 pm AST

hmm..I havent seen House of Sand and Fog, but all the reviews for it were decent. All i've heard of it was that it was from a book, which I haven't read either- so I'm not being much help at this point.
I just felt like typing something..
Hehe- that whole convo was hilarious actually, I thought. People shouldn't be so sensitive about another person's opinion. I mean, they're just opinions, right?

Posted by kimi on April 15th, 2004 at 8:00 am AST [email]

yea, it kinda was funny. lol. and he has 5 or 6 right now but he has EIGHT coming out! and im serious! and your like 'hes only made 5 movies'. FAGGOT! he's only been in the acting job a couple of years! most of them have been for LOTR! give him time, he'll blow your mind. woah that rhymed. and so did that. anyways, yay rio! *high five*. ppl think were funny! lol! lynx goes 'i love him to peices!' haha! oh, and yes, hilary is the worst actor/singer ever. she sings through nose. one more thing...orlando has more movies comin up that he's gonna be the main character like, Kingdom Of Heaven, which is supposed to be a big thing, but it doesnt come out till next year

Posted by The Guy from Rio on April 15th, 2004 at 5:03 pm AST

I wasn't going to say more about that Bloom story(its annoying now!),but you just proved my point.Like you said,he's only been in the acting job for a few years,and made 5 or 6 movies,3 of them playing the same character.He has 8 coming out,and is just starting to play roles in which he's the leading star and doesn't have anyone else carrying the movie.Even if you think that he's very good,just now he will have the opportunity to show if he is top 10 material or not.
Like i said before,i don't have anything against the actors that women think consider hot,if they can act.I used the example of Depp,Crowe and Clooney,but i could say Mortensen,Cage,DiCaprio, Mcgregor,and many others.So,i think that you're calling me
"faggot" because my opinion is different,and that's not very democratic or honest.

Posted by kimi on April 15th, 2004 at 5:50 pm AST [email]

im rebublican......i think....ok, jk, are you being sarcastic again? and yes it is getting annoying (whole bloom thing), and im sorry i called you a faggot. please forgive me. *smiles*

runaway jury is a good movie, I give it two thumbs up, I really did like it. especially the twists I had a good time
watching it in the movie theaters then again when my parents rented it a couple months ago. GREAT MOVIE

And for the person above who asked if house of sand and fog was a good movie... didn't think so, no offense to those who did,
it had a good story line, I just thought it had a bad ending and I wouldn't see it more than once!

Where the hell is Gary Oldman?!?!?!

1.) Gary Oldman
The man is diverse, whether Beethoven or Sid Vicious, Dracula or Pontious Pilate, he pulls off any role
effectively and brilliantly. One of the best films: Leon the Professional. Lets try to forget Fifth Element and Scarlet Letter
2.) Willem Dafoe
I can't say enough about this great actor, Platoon, Last Temptation of Christ, Boondock Saints!!, English Patient, and Clear and Present Danger
3.) Robert DeNiro
Godfather, Taxi, Once Upon a time in America, Goodfellas, Raging Bull, and Jackie Brown.
He is lower on the list because lately he has made some real stinkers, not that it detracts from his talent I guess, just poor choices
Rocky and Bullwinkle, the score, showtime...
4.) Al Pacino
Godfather, Scarface, Donnie Brasco
The reason why he is so low is that he is one trick pony, mob movies. He's passed up some great roles, but to his credit he has been
making some stretches.
5.) Johnny Depp
This guy really deserves more credit, I think he has been really underated until Pirates, but
I like how he stretches in roles and picks very off the wall films to keep the audiance on its toes.
Edward Scissorhands, Benny and Joon, Donnie Brasco, Ed Wood!! and of course that little film, Pirates of the Carribean
6.) Guy Pearce
Another severely underrated actor, his work is always topnotch as well as diverse roles.
Memento, Count of Monte Cristo, LA Confidential
7.) Daniel Day Lewis
This guy doesn't only act, he becomes.
Last of the Mohicans, My Left Foot, the crucible, Gangs of New York
8.) Ben Kingsley
distinguished and talented.
Gahndi, Lenin, Otto Frank, Moses; Species, Schindler's List, House of Sand and Fog
9.) Christopher Walken
He drops down because of some unusually poor film choices.
The Good: CAtch me if you can, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Baquiat, Deer huunter
The Bad: Batman returns, Waynes World2, the rundown
The Ugly: Gigli, Kangaroo Jack, Joe Dirt
10.) Harrison Ford
I know very debatable on his worth as an actor, but how am I suppose to spurn Indiana Jones
or Han Solo? Actually he does have some pretty good preformances, the best being Mosquito Coast.
Air Force One, the Fugitive, and Blade Runner were also pretty good.

Honorable mentions.
Tim Roth - Resevoir Dogs, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Four rooms.
Leonardo DiCaprio - I think he is underrated because he is overrated (does that make any sense) every guy hates his looks and every girl hates their former
crush on him, but if you look at his record, he is a decent actor. Titanic, Romeo+Juliet, Gangs of New York, Whats eating Gilbert Grape...
Brad Pitt - Anyone who thinks he is a bad actor MUST watch Fight Club, Se7en, A river runs through it, and legends of the fall
Denzel Washington - Training Day, Glory, Philadelphia..enough said
Charlton Heston - I hate the people who lambast him from watching Michael Moore's propoganda. No one wants to remember
his milestone roles in film, and his civil rights actions marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Clint Eastwood - Gotta Admit, I love those Sphagetti Westerns. Leone and Moriccone deserve much credit though.
Toshiro Mifune - Greatest Japanese Leading Actor.
Steve Bushemi - Absolutely hilarious.

Well I think thats all, begin roasting me now...

I KNOW I HAVE FORGOTTEN HEAPS BUT ALL THOSE ARE WORTHY OF MENTION FOR ME

5 People Who Don't Deserve Any Acting Career:
1.Jennifer Lopez - the wedding planner was a vomit earner
2.Sylvester Stallone - everything he has ever done is just pathetic
3.Ashton Kutcher - 'Dude' & 'The Butterfly Effect' were awful
4.Madonna - bahahaahahaa take a bow bitch
5.Amanda Bynes (see girls, just coz a girl might be hot, doesn't mean she's a good actress.. same goes for all those choosing *cough* Orlando Bloom *cough*cough*)
-what a girl wants was possibly the worse thing i have EVER seen.
