3. Hoffman/Nicholson/Spacey/Pacino/de Niro? (another)
2. Johnny Depp
1. Tom Hanks

3. Russell Crowe

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.

You all know that this list is the truth.

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!

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.

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!

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

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).

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!

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

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!

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

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

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.

1.Jack Nicholson
2.Al PACINO
3.Marlon Brando
4.Robert De Niro
5.Tom Hanks
6.Clint Eastwood
7.Anthony Hopkins
8.Dustin Hoffman
9.Kevin Spacy
10.Johnny Depp

1-Jack Nicholson
2-Robert de Niro
3-Gene Hackman
4-Kevin Spacey
5-Russell Crowe
6-Al Pacino
7-Tom Hanks
8-William H.Macy
9-Geoffrey Rush
10-Nick Nolte
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.

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.

Actors? For me?

1. Robert DeNiro
2. James Stewart
3. Gregory Peck
4. Kevin Spacey
5. Humphrey Bogart
6. Anthony Hopkins
7. William H. Macy
8. Jack Nicholson
9 Ben Kingsley
10. Daniel Day-Lewis

---YMMV

Honourable mention goes to:

Ed Norton, Ed Harris, John Malkovich, Al Pacino, Sidney Poitier, Geoffrey Rush, Jeremy Irons, Peter O'Toole and Michael Caine...

I feel sick

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

1. Robert De Nero
2. Al PAcino
3. Jack Nicholson
4. Kevin Spacey (right up there hes totally amazing)
5. Tom Hanks
6. Morgan Freeman
7. Anthony Hopkins
8. Cary Grant
9. James Stewart
10. Dustin Hoffman

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

How about the greatest performances?Here is my list(it's more the greatest of the last 20 years):
1-Tom Hanks(Forrest Gump)
2-Dustin Hoffman(Rainman)
3-Jack Nicholson(As good as it gets)
4-Daniel Day-Lewis(Gangs of New York)
5-Sean Penn(I am Sam)
6-Nicolas Cage(Leaving Las Vegas)
7-Jim Carrey(Man of the Moon)
8-Edward Norton(American History X)
9-Woody Harrelson(The People Vs Larry Flint)
10-Kevin Spacey(American Beauty)

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ok, here are mine:

1-Al Pacino (The Godfather 2)
2-Dustin Hoffman (Midnight Cowboy)
3-Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs)
4-Robert de Niro (Taxi Driver)
5-Ed Harris (The Truman Show)
6-Jack Nicholson (One Flew over the Cukoo's Nest)
7-Robert Duvall (The Godfather)
8-Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption)
9-Paul Newman (Road to Perdition)
10-Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump)
11-Daniel Day Lewis (My Left Foot)
12-Willem Dafoe (Platoon)
13-Ben Kingsley (House of Sand and Fog)
14-Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects)
15-Tim Robbins (Mystic River)

Top 10 greatest actors of All Time are:

1. TOM HANKS (Cast Away, Forrest Gum)
2. BRUCE WILLIS (Die Hard, Bandits)
3. CHARLIE CHAPLIN (The Great Dictator)
4. CHARLES BRONSON (Wish Death)
5. TOM CRUISE (M:I2, Last Samurai)
6. DENZEL WASHINGTON (Jonny Q)
7. CHARLIE SHEAN (Platoon)
8. MEL GIBSON (The Patriot, Mad Max)
9. STEVEN SEAGAL (Under Siege)
10.NICOLAS CAGE (Gone In 60s Seconds)

Great list of actors and films Ken. Tom Hanks is good. Charlie Chaplin was a genious! I like Robert De Niro (All fims) and for action I like Bruce Willis.

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.

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
even Keira Knightley were much better in Pirates.

Here is my top ten...

1. Jack Nicholson
2. Al Pacino
3. Dustin Hoffman
4. Robert De Niro
5. Anthony Hopkins
6. Tom Hanks
7. Mel Gibson
8. Gene Hackman
9. Morgan Freeman
10. Harrison Ford

The ten worst...

1. Marlon Brando
2. Martin Sheen
3. Sean Penn
4. Robert Mitchum
5. Johnny Depp
6. Keanu Reeves
7. Jack Palance
8. Leonardo DiCaprio
9. James Dean
10. Tom Cruise

Mel Gibson is better Sean Penn and Harrison Ford better than Johnny
Depp?Do you drink?

I'm gay and I like all the guys in my first list.

And JIM CARREY

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!

SK. you are a comedian. So perhaps more stuntmen and body doubles should be given best actor oscars too! NOT!

Top 5 good performances of bad actors:
1-Brendan Fraser(Gods and Monsters)
2-Richard Gere(Chicago)
3-Brad Pitt(the one with Bruce Willis,i guess it is Seven Monkeys)
4-Ben Affleck(Changing Lines)
5-Kevin Bacon(Mystic River)

=)

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!

My list would be the following:
1.Rowan Atkinson- Just cause he does comedys he is underrated! he is THE best actor!
2.Kevin Spacey
3.Robert DeNiro
4.Anthony Hopkins
5.Jack Nicholson
6.Tom Hanks
7.George Clooney
8.Bruce Willis
9.Jim Carrey
10.Harrison Ford

1. Rowan Atkinson

best actors ever !!! and theyre best performances
1. Robert De Niro ( raging bull )
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.

and the best actors are:

1 Laurence Olivier
2 Marlon Brando
3 Ben Kingsley
4 Dustin Hoffman
5 Kevin Spacey
6 Robert Duvall
7 Paul Newman
8 Anthony Quinn
9 Ed Harris
10 Robert De Niro

The real TOP 10 actor's of all time.

1. Denzel Washington, ( Malcolm X ) he didn't play Malcolm X, he was Malcolm X.
2. AL Pacino, his best movie ( the godfather 1 and 3) also ( scarface ) Pacino was scarface.
3. Robert DE Niro, his best movie 's ( Raging Bull ) ( Heat ) ( GoodFellas) a man's actor.
4. Tom Hank's, his best movie's ( Philadelphia ) ( Forrest Gump ) one of the best.
5. Gene Hackman his best movie ( Crimson Tide ).
6. Morgan Freeman his best movie's ( Lean on me ) ( Shawshank Redemption ) underated.
7. Anthony Hopkin's his best movie ( The silence of the Lamb's ) one word, Crazy.
8. Kirk Douglas best movie ????
9. Kevin Spacey his best movie ( Seven ).
10. Jack Nicholson best movie ???

That's a real top 10, ps if Denzel is not in a top 5 that's CRAZY!

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

1:Henrik Fjelldal
2:Robert De Niro
3:Fredrik Kristiansen
4:Al Pacino
5:Tom Hanks

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.

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.

Johnny Depp is defiantly were it is at in all of his movies he does at least a very good job.

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....

best actors of this time?

Russel Crowe
Robert De Niro
Tom Hanks
Al Pacino
Dustin Hoffman
Jack Nicholson
Kevin Spacey
George Clooney
Robin Williams
Mike Myers

For the record: I'm a guy, a straight guy. Orland Bloom is not a good actor at all. He scrunches his forhead for any seen where he tries to act.

2.Al Pacino-Scarface
1.Robert Deniro-Taxi Driver

i'd put pacino above de niro, and i still can't figure out why tom hanks always gets such great marks, his acting is pretty good, but i've never watched any of his films (intentionally) more than twice. pacino/de niro/brando, these guys have movies that i've watched dozens of times.

Note i said NOT IN RANK Dumb-Ass

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"

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!!!

One thing about Bloom... every movie he's been in has been a box office smash!

YAY FOR BRAD PINEAU!!!! and he's right....THEY HAVE! HAHAHA! B/C HE'S AWESOME! IN YOUR FACE JACOB MICHEAL DUNSTAN!! BUUUUUUUUUUURN!

wait....smash as in it sucked or as in it was really good??

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.

i LOVE the guy from rio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the coolest!! enough said....ORLANDO IS THE BESTEST ACTOR IN THE WORLD AND THE HOTTEST TOO!! YAY FOR THE GUY FROM RIO!!!

I was being sarcastic!Do you really think that people just because of his presence the movies were sucessful?Even the first,when people didn't know him?God!

1. Robert De Niro
2. Al Pacino
3. Gene Hackman
4. Jack Nicholson
5. Tom Hanks
6. Kevin Spacey
7. Dustin Hoffman
8. Morgan Freeman
9. Joe Pesci
10.Brad pitt

robert de niro's performances in deer hunter, raging bull and taxi driver were awe inspiring. he is without doubt the greatest actor of all time. The academy are a bunch of fools, de niro deserved more oscars and you know it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

robert de niro's performances in deer hunter, raging bull and taxi driver were awe inspiring. he is without doubt the greatest actor of all time. The academy are a bunch of fools, de niro deserved more oscars and you know it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.....

thanks again brad pineau because apparently you're the only one who has my back on this whole thing..

I don't like Orlando Bloom,but i'm not against the people who does.
But say that the movies have been sucessful only because of him and
that he's the greatest actor in the world?

well ya know what? it's just my opinion. so forget it. this whole thing is gay. i don't even know you and im fighting about i guy i dont even know! and what would be your reason NOW for not liking orlando? almost every guy on this thing dosen't like orlando for some reason but i have yet to figure out why. i guess it's the same reason why most teenage girls hate hilary duff...

Who is Hillary Duff?Anyway,i don't like him because he's a very bad
actor.I have no problems with actors which are considered hot by the women,if they can act.I like Russell Crowe,George Clooney and Johnny Depp,for example.

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!!

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.

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.

1.Morgan Freeman
2.Michael Caine
3.Tommy Lee Jones
4.Johnny Depp
5.Ben Kingsley
6.Al Pacino
7.Harrison Ford
8.Robert DeNiro

Gary Oldman!

8.DUSTIN HOFFMAN

5.VAL KILMER
4.AL PACINO

Joaquin Phoenix (simply great)

Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Jared Leto (specially for Requiem For A Dream)
Brad Pitt (outstanding in 12 monkeys)
Edward Norton
The Fiennes (Ralph & Joseph)
Benicio Del Toro

Best Actresses (All time)
Vivien Leigh, Audrey Hepburn, Joan Fontaine, Ingrid Bergman, Mia Farrow, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Stockard Channing
And recently:
Chloe Sevigny (Boys Dont Cry, Kids)
Renee Zellwegger
Madeleine Stowe
Nicole Kidman
Samantha Morton (In America, Sweet & Lowdown)
Jennifer Connolly (Requiem for a dream, House of sand and fog)
Kim Basinger (She has done great jobs!)

The last thing i will say about this Bloom story:how many movies he made? 5 or 6?NO ONE becames one of the top 10 in the history making so few pictures.His fans can say that he is very good and WILL BE one of the greatest,but today he is certainly not.

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!

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

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

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?

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

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.

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*

I think really the greatest actors will be:

1.Alpacino

3.Denzel washington
4.Russell Crowe
5.Samul.L.Jackson

lol! explain what?! ill listen! and yes, i loved John Q. it was pretty awesome. yup yup! 'these chicks don't even know the name of my band. but they're all on me like they wanna hold hands. and once i blow they know that i be the man. all because im the lead singer of my band.' sorry. that was random but it was on the radio and in my head soo...

D12!!! I love that song- can't wait for their new C.D. I love Eminem.

Anyways- I basically explained my whole perception of the Orlando thing already, don't want to start another feud on if he's going to be any good or not. hehe.

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.

Best Actors (no order)

*Denzel Washington
*Jude Law
*Jack Nicholson
*Morgan Freeman
*Nicolas Cage
*Billy Bob Thorton
*Sean Penn
*Jim Carrey
*Johnny Depp
*Sidney Portier

Best Actresses (no order)

*Reese Witherspoon
*Renee Zellweger
*Jennifer Lopez
*Gwyneth Paltrow
*Nicole Kidman
*Salma Hayek
*Julianne Moore
*Naomi Watts
*Catherine Zeta-Jones
*Jennifer Garner

Anyone who puts Sandler, Arnie & Rick Moranis in their list is either JOKING or seriously lacking in good judgement.
Please tell me your joking 'kinda a movie person'.

to kimi:
apparently you're just another one of those dumb bimbos that don't seem to comprehend that the list is based on
the TOP TEN actors of all time.
i don't give a shit whether orlando bloom is hot or not, this isn't a list based on top ten hottest
and if you really truly think that orlando bloom is the best actor
then you're dumb and shouldn't be posting in this thread
go to some forum where teenyboppers like yourself can harp on about stupid things that seem important to you

damnit, shallow girls just piss me off

LOL thats hilarious!

hey kimi dont let christine get to you, i like bimbos, they are beautiful, vain
and have a positive view on life, im sure christine is just some lesbian intellect
who clearly was bullied as a child, so dont worry about her kid ;)

No!
Your right Christine, I totally agree. Shallow girls like kimi are
bloody annoying. This forum is turning into some kind of 'hottest actor'
discussion. Next thing you know some wanker is gonna come on here and bitch about how
racist American Idol is and how much they love the blokes on that show.. *shudder*

oh yeah and why the hell go on about a gay guy anyway, you'll never get him? everyone knows that bloom
has been seen at gay nightclubs with guys. YES THATS RIGHT, legolas swings -sexually- the same
way as (frodo) elijah wood does.

cheers to that!

HEY! where's Salma Hayek on yalls lists? Where's Reese too?

i Was thinking a BEST DIRECTOR list might be good but its only a suggestion m8

The best actor there is is JACK NICHOLSON!!!!!!!!!!!!

All you people who dont say Jack Nicholson is the best actor r talkin from ur asses!!!!!!!!!!

Im a 13 year old girl and im i n love with Jack nicholson he is sooooooooooooooooo sooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy!!!!! he rocks my world!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Nicholson is 67 years old

Well, these aren't what everyone would say, but in my mind but not in any order:

*Mel Gibson-I mean c'mon, Hamlet and William Wallace flawlessly, that's talent.
*Kevin Costner-I don't know why, he just appeals to me; he plays a lot of
different characters well.
*Dustin Hoffman-Perfect in Rain Man, and almost unrecognizable but great in Hook.
*Robin Williams-So extremely funny, but can bring tears to your eyes as well.
*Johnny Depp-I might be 18, but I promise I'm not a teeny-bopper type, he takes
on interesting roles like in Ed Wood, Dead Man, and many others.
And he's great in Blow.
*Sean Penn-Should've won the Oscar for I am Sam.
*Tom Hanks-Forrest Gump was wonderful and he's just really good.
*Anthony Hopkins-Talk about versatile, but Hannibal Lector still is creepy.
*Leonardo DiCaprio-Once agian, I'm not a teeny-bopper; watch him in
What's Eating Gilbert Grape, seriously, I didn't know it was him at first.
*Jimmy Stuart-I could be tainted since my mom really likes him, but he's in some
really great classic movies and really brings the characters to life.

ANYONE WHO'S SEEN BOTH AMERICAN PSYCHO AND 'CHOPPER' WILL APPRECIATE THE ACTING QUALITIES OF CHRISTIAN BALE AND ERIC BANA. BOTH BRILLIANT AND UTTERLY CONVINCING MENACES, LIKE MYSELF.

by the way what colour are robert duvall's eyes???

I think the late great Johhny Renoldo who was spawned
by talkies Jasper Renoldo and mistress Gertrude Falashio
definately needs his props for his role in smash hit Butts to Nutts.
His performance brought me to tears, punctuated with the quote "That dung beetle surely knows his dung!"
Any other fans out there. Please let Johnny feel your hands, ummmm i mean your support.

Does anyone remember Jimbo Bo Sanders from the Television epic
Time With Time To Spare.
It was a dynamic series that had Jimbo once again playing
the ever popular wacky yet liberating librarian whose only concern
was to obtain complete silence by threatening readers with
holding a book burning, Hitler style.
Who can forget his timeless line. "What the f**k is that floating in the toilet."
Pure genius.
Why this show was cancelled after only 53 seasons is beyond me.
Jimbo Bo Sanders, thank you for blessing us with your D movie talent.

anyone here

I was fully admired by the action of Andy Serkis performed as Gollum/Smeagol in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. He is so very talented actor. We expect that year to come he might be the leading actor of a certain movie because his performance in the "LORD OF THE RINGS" gave him a credit and it was a big recognition of the movie critics and oscars to him.
More power to Andy Serkis.

taj,
you are truly great. I discovered also that Andy Serkis is
pretty very good.Do you found out that all of the cast of LOTR has best acting ensemble award they received.They deserved it.
Here are my 10 Favorite Actors List:

u like al pacino

he sux

It seems the herd has adopted the strawman method of debate. You're all creating a redundant
list that may or may not tag your own opinion (Probably forged by the consumer culture around
you). Mr. Robert DeNiro had developed great traits as an actor but one can suggest that he's
reading the paycheck before he's reading the script. His last movie was GodSend. Who amongst you
had actually decided to view that abhorrent piece of trash? Probably no one unless you're one of
the viewers who cashed in 9 million dollars (Major Flop). And no matter what this feelow does,
his method in creating a surreal look in the scenes don't quite cut it because he's no longer
in Chicago selling boot-leg whiskey. I hate to break it to you all but he's not amphibious.
Neither is Christopher Walken, Sean Penn, Al Pacino, Tom Hanks (Spontaneous miracles at moments),
Kevin Spacey, Anthony Hopkins, Johnny Depp, Kevin Spacey (Has no feeling whatsoever) and the list
goes onwards.

If you're looking for an actor that is amphibious, versatile, cunning and sleek, then...

(cue drum roll)

I introduce you to Edward Norton!

My list may also extend towards Marlon Brando (during his prime years), James and Jimmy Stewart,
Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel-Day Lewis (at times), and Jack Nicholson.

I recommend watching any Ed Norton flick besides 'Keeping the Faith'. Observe the drastic transitions
the dude undergoes during 'The Score'and 'Primal Fear' and listen to his Zen Busshist-like character
in Fight Club and Red Dragon. Watch Brando in Apocalypse Now and GodFather and tell me you didn't
like him. I recommend the Shinning and One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest for Jack (Oh wait, As Good
As It Gets too!).

and that's my two cents.

ed norton and Marlon Brando are good but everyone else you listed sucks.

u there omerta?

The best gangsta flick is not the Godfather but the Godfather Part 2

I'd say the best gangster flick is the Untouchables, no competition.

BTW Omerta is a novel by mario puzo that's turning into a flick by Miramax

Best Bollywood actors are Amitabh Bachan, Kamal Hasan and Aamir Khan. I'm not Indian but I am a foreign film lover.
Pick these movies up. You won't regret it.

One of the best performences I've seen was by the late Peter Sellers in Being There. Rent it, if you can find it.
I've only seen Peter Sellers' name here once. Good Show TJ 35. He was hilarious in Dr. Strangelove and The Pink Panther,
but Being There shows how great a character actor he really was, with his unflawed interpretation of simple
minded Chance the Gardener.

the untouchables is good

It's just a shame that nobody can look beyond Hollywood. Because it is the dominant film industry, we assume all the good actors are from America. Nobody mentioned Amitabh Bachchan - if you don't know who he is, it's probaby down to lack of culture integration rather than Hollywood being the greatest film industry

watever

Anonymus:

WER'RE FROM AMERICA! how the heck r we not supposed to put ameican actors? And by the way! Look at my top actors list, and count all the actors from america. Then tell me about culture?

1. Al Pacino (His charisma in Godfather 1,2, Scarface is super. Gets my sympathy no matter what he does)

OK, for all the people out there who think Johnny Depp comes close to being a great actor, I advise you idiots to rent something before the 1990's. You don't know jack about acting. Meanwhile, feast your eyes on my brilliance:

William H. Macy, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine,

Yet to be seen...
Joaquim Phoenix, Adrien Brody, Tobey McGuire, Ewan McGregor...
Not that they haven't done well in a few movies but what will their portfolio include in 10 years

Sorry I forgot Ed Norton and I'll throw in probably the best actress of all time Renee Zellweger

Many for you, not all, are giving your thoughts on how good-looking an actor is. Next time watch the movie not the actor, you may change your mind. As for who I think is a great actor-
I vote for Joaquin Phoenix- Iam not saying he is not good-looking- Mr.Phoenix has played a number of different roles and with eveyone he has made them very convincing. Can anyone disagree?

Okay folks, time for my top 10 actors of the last 30 years.

10. Leo DiCaprio ( verry talented )
9. Martin Sheen ( Apocalypse Now )
8. Jim Caviezel (thin Red line is beautiful)
7. Ethan Hawke ( prefect in training day )
6. Harvey Keitel ( reservoir dogs )
5. Brad Pitt (seven, fight club, snatch )
4. Edward Norton ( American History X )
3. Sean Penn ( U- Turn is amazing )
2. Robert De Niro ( getting worst n worst )
1. Jack Nicholson ( JUST THE BEST )

Unfortunately movies seem to get worst and worst as time goes by and good actors find themselves playing in total bad movies. Take a look at RObert DeNiro who only comes out with pure shit lately.

Good Grief. Could all these over-educated movie geeks be right!
For FU#K SAKES how could anyone omit the actor that plays that oversized purple phalic shaped pediphile BARNEY!
The riggorous task of donning that stupid monkey suit under all those hot lights, sweating his balls off and squeezing his bladder unit his pecker was about to splinter.
My God what control. Not not mention the sphinxter aerobics to hold his dino paddies. I mean, there ain't no velcro flap under that tail.
Then to undergo the ultimate humiliation of being voice-overed. That's right he only was able to Milli-Vanilli the eternal internation theme to all peace living democracies.
The "I LOVE YOU.YOU Love Me." Song.
Anywaz millions of kids love that purple dino FU*K.
So to all the parents that have endured countless hours pacifiing your damn brats by watching Barney.
"What have we learned today kids"
"Fu*k All."

All opinions aside, if you are going to speak up so strongly on your favorite actor/actress(s), at least spell their names right!

Robert De Nero (or deniro)? David Cardine (or Caridine)? Jouquim Phoenix? Raif Fiennes?

Yeah, O.K., we can figure out who you mean. But really............I had to stop reading because it looked like a bunch of 2nd graders wrote these things (not all of you, of course).

Here is my thoughts. These actors have "the right stuff". They are unique. And are very versatile. In no particular order. They are the very best. Please i welcome comments on my list. Here they are:
Tom Cruise :He has grown into one of the premiere actors of this generation. When a new film of his comes out, it is always a big draw. A 4 star actor!!
Anthony Hopkins: What can i say. He is the most versatile actor i know. He is able to portray any character. His performance in "Remains of the Day" is amazing. Must be considered on of the best!
Gary Oldman: This guy is tremendous. One of a kind. He is the real deal. He never gets his due from Hollywood, but he is Top 5. he can act better than all the rest. Tremendous performances everytime he is on the stage!!
Al Pacino: Pacino just has a screen prescence. He can capture your attention instantly! Can be brilliant at times!!!
Tom Hanks: If actors had rankings, he could be #1 in the world. He is so likeable in whatever he does. Totally versatile, he can play anyone!
Ed Harris: When will he win an Oscar? Totally underated. He can act!! Not totally versatile, but close!

I AM SO PISSED OFF AT THE PEOPLE ON THIS DAMN SITE

BEN KINGSLEY IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST ACTOR EVA AND HE SHOULD BE IN MORE LISTS I MEAN LOOK AT HIS FILMS

One of my all time favs
has to be the immortal Dorin Finkelmyer.
You may may remember him in the hit series
Connor, Connor and O'Connor.
Shoop Shoop DaLoop
and
Where's My Beer Bitch.
The latter being the most sydicated show in the southern states and trailer parks around the world.
If mullets and white sweaty undershirts are your thing check out this critically acclaimed series now released on DVD for the first time.
Myself I'm pulling up to the tube in my favorite beer stained easychair, opening a pack of Cools, crackin' open a Bud and watch this timeless classic.
Remember women are only good for two things.
Finding your socks
and Fetching your beer.

Toodles.

AND THE #1 ACTOR OF OUR GENERATION
DRUM ROLL PLEASE

1. William Shatner
GOD BLESS THE CAPTAIN!

Well, it is hard to determine who are the BEST actors because some are spectacular within their field. I wouldn't say it is fair to compare a renowned romantic actor with that of a all time favourite Horror genre actor as they would be the best within their own field, and not within a list of all time favourite of the best actors. Perhaps if it was possible to do a top three of all genre forms then it may be possible to narrow down the 'best' actors off all time. I just can't see how people can compare someone like Tom Hanks and Yul Brynner together, when both actors are renowned for influencing the media through different means. Neither actor is better or worse, they are just great in their talents in film/stage.

Well, there are actors, and there are legends. There is a difference. I would have say the top 5 actors of the last 20 years, would DEFINITELY be:

5. Tom Cruise

I would absolutely agree.
However that hunk-a-doodle Tommy....oh gawd....how I love whispering that name in my sleep.
"OH TOMMY, OH TOMMMMMMMYY!"
As I was saying. They should pair him up with Mark Hamill.
Sort of Jedi meets Samaurai cock fight.
My odds are on the handsome one....
Mark.
Maby Tommy could shove that love plough of a nose between my asscheeks while I bounce my hair bulbs off his chin.
"OHHHHHHHHH TOMMMMMMMMMMMY."

here's my list of my favorite top 10 actors

this list does not contain the actors of the 30's 40's 50's.


1 TOM HANKS
2 ROBERT DE NIRO
3 AL PACINO
4 PAUL NEWMAN
5 RUSSELL CROWE
6 JIM CARREY
7 KEVIN SPACEY
8 TOM CRUISE
9 DENZEL WASHINGTON
10 BRAD PITT

OTHERS

JACK NICHOLSON
HARRISON FORD
JOHNNY DEPP
GENE HACKMAN
MEL GIBSON
EDWARD NORTON

OBVIOUS THIS ISN'T THE TOP 10 OF ALL TIME JUST OF MY EXPERIENCE WITH MOVIES.

1) Gene Hackman (The Conversation, French Conection, Scarecrow, Bonnie and Clyde, Unforgiven, The Royal Tennenbauns, I Never Sang for my father, Superman I, II and IV, Narrow Margin, etc). He is a versatile actor.

2) Marlon Brando
3) George C. Scott
4) Albert Finney
5) Edward Norton
6) Sean Penn
7) Jack Lemmon
8) Lawrence Olivier
9) Peter Ustinov
10)Claude Rains

i think that johnny depp is the number one actor of all time!!!

i think dennis hopper is the best actor eva does anyone else agree?

marlon brando no 1 of all time
de niro and pacino of our time
and anthony hopkins the greatest of all time in the villian characters

others;

tom hanks
jack nicholson
sean connery
brad pitt
johnny depp.......................

Has every1 forgotten about John Candy ?
He was definitely the best actor in A Comedy. He deserves a top 10 spot.

Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Summer Rental, Only the Lonely, Splash, Canadian Bacon, Blues Brothers, Home Alone, Spaceballs, Nothing but Trouble, CoOl RunNings, BrewSter's Millions, and many others.

Him and Chevy Chase r definitely being underrated. All of their movies have been great.

I'm not sure about the world's top 10 actors, but in my opinion, these r the top 10 Canadian actors :

1) John Candy
2) Jim Carrey
3) Mike Myers
4) Keanu Reeves
5) Michael J. Fox
6) William Shatner
7) Dan Akroyd
8) Leslie Nielson
9) Martin Short
10)Phil Hartman

Charlie Chaplin is the Best actor..

Let's give Kudos to MikeY.

Blah, blah, blah.

Here's the list of great actors "today" in no particular rank....well maybe a little but not totally. The people cherish the art. You can look in their eyes as they act and you can truly see that thaey have a deep passion for the craft. Give them a script and expect a great performance.

People, acting is not about fame and glory. Its about acting! dont mix the two. Some have stated that Orlando Bloom and other pretty boy actors are one of the best. But no.
Yes Orlando is a very good actor to watch on screen and I love the performances that he displays. But dont get caught up in the fame and glory that the media flashes out at you.
But you have to give all the actors on screen a round of applause. (so how was the list, was it bad. I ranked only the top 5.)

HERE'S MY LIST:


1. Marlon Brando- The most influential, natural actor ever. Filmography: On The Waterfront, The Godfather, The Last Tango In Paris, Apocalypse Now.
2. Harrison Ford- Okay, this may be more of Tom Hanks- A flexible stara fan's opinion, but he is to me the definition of movie star. Filmography: Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Witness, The Fugitive.
3. Robert Deniro- The Legend, the master, the man. He's probably my personal favorite. Filmography: The Godfather Part 2, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Casino, Meet the Parents.
4. Jack Nicholson- Too cool and slick for words. Filmography: Chinatown, Prizzi's Honor, The Shining, As Good As It Gets, About Schmidt, Something''s Gotta Give.
5. Tom Hanks- He demonstrates a rare grace on the screen. Filmography: Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away, The Terminal.
6. Samuel Jackson- The kind of actor that really puts on a show. He gets this singularly because of his performance in Pulp Fiction. Filmography: Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Shaft.
7. Tom Cruise- Though people give him a lot of heat on playing the "similar character", I see otherwise. He is the ultimate star of today. Filmography: Riskey Business, Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, Magnolia, Mission Impossible, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Collateral.
8. John Torturro- Have you seen this guy? He's incredible to watch. Filmography: Barton Fink, Quiz Show, Oh Brother Where Art Thou?, Secret Window.
9. Russel Crowe- A brilliant actor that has only begun his reign. Filmography- The Insider, Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, Master And Commander: The Far Side Of The World.
10. Edward Norton- I'm becoming a big fan of this guy. His monolgue's are interesting, his acting intense and intelligence evident. Filmography: American History X, Fight Club, Red Dragon, 25th Hour.

The Best Actors

1. Harrison Ford- just kicks ass
2. Richard Gere
3. Steve Martin
4. Dennis Quaid
5. Dustin Hoffman
6. Denzel Washington
7. Josh Hartnett
8. Jack Nicholson
9. Daniel Radcliffe
10.Tom Cruise


The Best Actresses

1. Lindsay Lohan- plain hot as fuck
2. Sarah Michelle Ghellar
3. Anne Heche
4. Cathrine-Zeta Jones
5. Jennifer Aniston

this the top ten greatest hands down!

marlon brando(who else?)
al pacino
robert deniro
denzel
kevin spacey
dustin hoffman
gene hackman
jack nicholson
morgan freeman
mel gibson

you have some good actors in there, but I would probably take out Kevin Spacey, and put in Harrison Ford

I am so sad that I only saw Denzel like five times this whole page.

1. MR. Washington (Malcom X was the best role ever played)
2. Robert Dinero (Only a moron wouldnt put the God Father)
3. Will Smith (Not the very best actor but the greatest entertainer of all times)
4. Tom Hanks.(Come on this guy doesnt even like awards anymore he has so many)
5. Christopher Walken (The best suppoting actor of all times and the most under rated)
6. Mel Gibson (Its Mad Max)
7. Eddie Murphy (one of the funniest people alive)
8. Brad Pitt (He plays some really great roles0
9. Bruce Willis (Die Hard what more can i say)
10. Tom Cruse (I will watch any thing with him in it)

Some of my favorite performances ever in movies not mentioned too much, if at all, so far (in no particular order):

Marlon Brando (The Young Lions) * plays a Nazi - one of many daring roles by one of the most influential actors ever (maybe the most)
Sir Lawrence Olivier (Sleuth) * if not for Brando's Godfather performance, he would have won an Oscar for this
Anthonny Quinn (Requiem for a Heavyweight) * was also outstanding in The Greek Tycoon based on the life of Ari Onassis
Rod Steiger (The Pawnbroker) * the opening of this movie is extremely well done
Dustin Hoffman (Papillion) * particularly the ending (probably borrowed from this when he did Rainman years later)
Denzel Washington (Glory) * good in a lot of movies but this one stands out for me
Al Pacino (Glengarry Glenross) * I disagree with those who say Pacino can only do gangster movies - he did a great job here
Jack Lemmon (The Apartment) * this guy was pretty good in everything he did - I also liked him in Save the Tiger
Paul Newman (Cat On A Hot Tin Roof) * and a bunch of other roles which were better than the one with Cruise for which he got the Oscar
Robert DeNiro (The Godfather Part 2) * people have mentioned other good roles a lot more than this one - I thought he was terrific
Peter O'Toole (The Stuntman) * this is a very interesting performance and movie
Michael Caine (Educating Rita) * this guy is hard not to like even when he does Jaws 4 type movies - also good in Sleuth
Anthony Hopkins (Nixon) * even though he doesn't look like Nixon, his mannerisms are dead on
Kevin Kline (Sophie's Choice) * for me, this is one of the greatest under-rated performances ever
Ben Kingsley (Bugsy) * they should make a movie just about Meyer Lansky (better than that HBO one) and let Kingsley be him again
James Woods (Citizen Cohn) * a scary performance in this HBO movie -
Lawrence Fishbourne (Boys in the Hood) * I also liked his performance as Ike Turner - this guy is a good actor, not just a Matrix guy
Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley) * a wonderful actor who I think will win at least two academy awards one day
Philip Seymour Hoffman (Scent of A Woman) * you can see in this early performance why he has become one of the better actors today
Robert Downey Jr. (Chaplin) * a very talented guy who I would like to see more of in the movies

Meryl Stryp (Sophie's Choice) * a great actress at her best here
Natalie Wood (This Property Is Condemned) * I was very attracted to her character - both personality and looks
Jane Fonda (Klute) * she deserved her Oscar
Elizabeth Taylor (Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf) * she's frightening in this role

the top 10 is:
1)Marlon Brando
2)Jack Nickolson
3)Robert De Niro
4)Al Pacino
5)Tom Hanks
6)Dustin Hoffman
7)Paul Newman
8)Russel Crowe
9)Gene Hackman
10)Sean Penn

I can't say of all time, but I think right now some of the best actors include Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey (which I wouldn't have said pre-eternal sunshine) and the very underrated Mark Ruffalo who is probably my personal favorite right now!

YEAH MARK RUFFALO- best new(er) actor by far!

ORLANDO IS SEXY!........but seriously get over it!

OH MY GOD! daniel radcliffe is the worst actor i have ever seen.
i cant even begin to imagine how he managed to snag the role of harry potter.
johnny depp is by far one of the greatest actors of all time and my personal favourite.

to me again,
um have you seen orlando blooms jaw line???
go have a look at that and then come back and tell me hes not hot!!!

In response to JT's pics:

You are dead on with your BEST list & UNDERATED list. You could have chose
better underrated actors like: William Macey, Steve Buscemi, Joe Pantoliano,
John Turturro, etc. Guys that are really good that the mass majority of people
don't know about. That's underrated.

Your overrated list is terrible. Have you seen LEAVING LAS VEGAS or MATCHSTICK
MEN or RAISING ARIZONA? Nic Cage is a terrific actor who sometimes has an urge
to seek out bigger paychecks by starring in Jerry Bruckheimer crap.

Putting Russel Crowe on the list is downright careless. He has given tremendous
efforts in outstanding roles like A BEAUTIFUL MIND, THE INSIDER, PROOF OF LIFE
LA CONFIDENTIAL and...yes, I beleive this...GLADIATOR. Every fool that claims
that Crowe is overated are people who DID NOT like Gladiator or beleive he
should not have won the oscar. Yes, he wasn't the best of that year (Tom Hanks
and Ed Harris were far better) but neither are 99% of the other actors who win
the oscar. There is always someone better than the winners who take home gold.

Its also a tragedy that you have Baldwin and Clooney on the list, but I'm not
going to bother with explaining why.

The only true overrated actor you have on there is...MR BEN AFFLECK.

Here are some actors I think are overrated:
Roberto Beningi, Edward Burns, Tommy Lee Jones, DMX, Josh Hartnet,
ASHTON KUTCHER, Vin Diesal, Paul Walker, Keanu Reeves, etc.

Feedback, anybody?

TR it's like we're brothers!
I agree with you 100% and I van't believe this.

Just Actors worth mentioning:
William H. Macy
Groucho Marx
Tom Hanks
Ed Harris
James Stewart
Humprey Bogart
Peter Sellers
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
John C. Reilly
Morgan Freeman
Samuel L. Jackson
Bruce Willis
ANYONE WHO DID A P.T ANDERSON FILM!!!!!!!
Adam Sandler (his more serious roles)
Jim Carrey (also more serious roles)
Robert Deniro
Jack Nicholson
Robin Williams
James Caan
Phillip Baker Hall
Will Ferell
Billy Bob Thorton
Jack Black
Dennis Quaid
Will Smith
Harvey Keitel
Chris Evans
MICHAEL CLRAKE DUNCAN DID THE BEST ROLE EVER IN the green mile
Tom Cruise
Kevin Spacey
Ed Norton
Paul Giamatti
Woody Allen
Jason Biggs
and Mark Ruffalo

Tr I thought what you said about Ben Affleck he has done great movies but was just never good in them the movies were better.
-Stanley Kubrick

keith its ben

keith ray?????????????

Right on Stan.

The only actor I disagree with that is on your list is Bruce Willis.
Other than that...your picks ROCK!!!

Thanks.
-Stanley Kubrick

Ya ya you have good thoughts... some of you.

Al Pacino is AMAZING! Sure he isnt know to be very diverse, but he puts so much raw emotion into his preformances you can NOT denie it. Watching films of his like Scent of a woman and godfather 2...
Take it from me, I personally own EVERY single johnny depp movie, im a die hard fan,(not to mention i own every AVAILIBLE Al PAcino movie) love them both! Johnny depp is the king of diverse roles, but rarley can he exert himself to the full extent. My top list would have to be:

is christopher walken still pale

please answer

does anyone else think ron perlman is a good actor

Who gives a shit if Christopher Walken is pale. All that matters
is that he is a great actor and this is a site to worship actors
and their acting abilities and if you don't like it then that's
your problem, (This isn't Star magazine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
-Stanley Kubrick

2 I hardly see listed here:

- John Malkovich (Ripley's Game, In the Line of Fire, etc)
- Jeremy Irons (just as an example, The Lion King was a masterpiece, and it wouldn't have been the same without that voice)

And maybe Alan Rickman. Because, come on, he's Alan Rickman.

Other than that I agree with most of the above lists, especially JT and Nick Hardeman.

Okay People, I'm finally here. The expert pf actors.
You're opinions are all nice kiddies. But here are the alltime
best actors of everything, and there are no better.
Sorry to ruin your little fantasy world:
1 being the all time best:

9)Ivan Sergei (Hawii)
10)Michael Weatherly (Dark Angel and Navy:NCIS)
11)Jensen Ackles (Dark Angel)
12)Josh Duhamel (Las Vegas and Win a Date with Tad Hamilton)

Ashley Tia,

Yoiu must have brain damage if you think that Hilary Duff is even should even live. I feel that for every film she
makes that she should be personely harmed and injured. She should be the one on the cross instead of Jesus. She is
a bad singer, a bad actress, and a bad PERSON all together. At least lindsay lohan is funny she is good.
THAT IS IT I WANT EVERYONE TO PICK HILARY DUFUCK OR LINDSAY LOHAN. right NOW

robert de niro, mentor hajdaraj, bruce lee, haxhi jaha, robin williams, nikollas cage.

Al Pacino was great in "Angels in America" which came out not to long ago.

my new list:


1. Al Pacino (The Godfather trilogy, Scarface, Devil's Advocate)

2. Robert De Niro (Taxi Driver, Godfather Part 2) and Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now)

3. Anthony Quinn (Lawrence of Arabia, Guns of Navarone)

4. Sean Connery (all his James Bond movies)

5. Kevin Spacey (American Beauty)

6. Robert Duvall (The Godfather)

7. Christopher Walken (The Rundown, Blast from the Past, A View To A Kill)

8. Sir Alec Guinness (Star Wars, Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia)

9. Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator)

10. Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty, Eternal Sunshine)

link text Brando did both, but we must also remember that he was taught by none other than the late Stella Adler. And what about Uta Hagen? See,
convention for the word actor is such that it now encompasses both sexes. Also, not once did I see
John Lithgow... if you think he's shit, do some research. At the same time, I don't want to post a list
of my own, because, like all other art forms, acting is highly subjective. On a final note,
Jim Carrey is the man. :P>

Whoops. I've never posted on a forum before. Anyhow, this is what it should read, "Well, film sucks (as a generality).
Go see a play. Brando did both, but we must also remember that he was taught by none other than the late Stella Adler.
And what about Uta Hagen (or the Lunts)? See, the convention for the word actor is such that it now encompasses both
sexes. Also, not once did I see John Lithgow... if you think he's shit, do some research. At the same time, I don't want to post a list
of my own, because, like all other art forms, acting is highly subjective. On a final note,
Jim Carrey is the man. :P"

Where IS Gary Oldman???!!!

It’s almost fascinating that nearly no one even mentions Gary Oldman
or John Malkovich? These two actors are the essence and ground stones of acting.
No one, and I repeat NO ONE comes near to what Gary Oldman has to offer for the Silver screen.
He is by far and will be the best actor for a long time to come. Anyone who begs to differ,
please give me a post at my Email, djayforeigner@yahoo.com, I will be glad to prove you wrong…

an underrated actor is james woods

once upon a time in america
salvador
casino
ghosts of mississppi
killer: a journal of murder
the onion field

My favorite James Woods performance is in the "Virgin Suicides". The movie was OK but Woods'
performance in this film is arguably the best of his career. He is very underrated.

I agree with you guys on James Woods. I mentioned it on an earlier list
but in case you missed it, I also think he was excellent in an HBO movie
called Citizen Cohn. Also, he did a very good job in a movie based on the
life of the Canadian author, Mordechai Richler (spelling probably wrong).

I also agree with the person who mentioned John Malkovich and Gary Oldman
who is practically unrecognizable (and very very good) in the Contender,
not to mention one of the freakiest bad guys ever in Leon. Speaking of
unrecognizable, I think one of Sean Penn's best and most amusing performances
ever is as the corrupt lawyer in Carlito's Way. I actually prefer this and a
number of hisother roles to the one he won the Academy Award for in Mystic River,
which I thought was a tad overacted.

I'll also throw four names out that I think may not have been mentioned yet
(or not too often anyway). I'm not saying they are the best, but they have
given some very fine performaces:

William Hurt (Body Heat, the Big Chill, Kiss of a Spider Woman)
Jon Voight (Deliverance, Coming Home, Ali)
Montgomery Clift (A Place in the Sun, From Here to Eternity)
Burt Lancaster (Elmer Gantry, Atlantic City)

Also - goin way back here but a best actors ever list probably should
include Charles Laughton. Sure, there are a lot of other actors from
yesteryear that deserve mention too but I thought I'd just mention this
one as his Hunchback of Notre Dame was really memorable for me
(also Mutiny on the Bounty and Les Miserables)
I'm not 100 years old or anything by the way (I'm 41).

Ah yes, one more (one of my Dad's favorites),
Sir Alec Guinness (A Bridge Over The River Kwai, Dr. Zhivago)

Finally - my favorite Japanese actor is Takashi Shimura
(particularly Ikiru and Stray Dog)

WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF JOHN TRAVOLTA PEOPLE!!!

John Travolta needs to do much better films and much more meater acting roles
before he can be considered a "great" actor. Sure, he rocked in PULP FICTION,
but what else? (And don't spurt out GREASE. It was a showcase of musical and
choreographical talents NOT acting talents). Maybe A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG
is a sign of change.

Daniel Radcliffe(Harry Potter)
Jack Nicholson
Bruce Willis
Elijah Wood

I think that people need to stop thinking that Orlando Bloom is such a great actor
we all know he is hot, but models dont act so chill out. I'm not hating its just that
people need to stop overrating him, he only has like five movies out, so
stop comparing him to the great actors of our time. I know a lot of people
just LOVE Johnny Depp on the only fact that he is hot, but he can proove his acting abilities
unlike other actors(i dont mean orli)
*Oh yeah, people need to stop hating on famous actors because they are the ones getting paid
and making the millions not you, so stop signing on these things just to insult people!

Sir Charlie Chaplin. Enough said. The man was an actor, director, producer, writer, editor, and he composed the music for his movies.
But just in terms of acting, Chaplin made audiences cry, in an era when sound had not been introduced into movies.
His physical comedy is unrivaled. He’s won three Oscars. One “for versatility and genius in writing, acting, directing and producing The Circus.
He as been awarded by the Actors and Screenwriter guild with outstanding actor honors. With all do respect to De Niro, Hoffman, Hanks, and Depp,
Charlie Chaplin will always and forever be the best screen actor of all time.

YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH ANY OF THE LIST BUT IF YOU DISAGREE WITH #1 BRANDO YOUR CRAZY OR STUPID!

I just watched the deer hunter and I am 12 years old and I just cried my eyes out at the end

Ok, first Johnny Depp is an amazing and the best actor I have ever heard of, and
don't think any differently just because all of these teeny-bopper chicks are all
about him and Orlando Bloom because of POTC. Orlando is a decent actor, and though I think
he is one gorgeous guy, but he is not to be compared with any of these amazing actors.
I am just in awe whenever Johnny is on the screen. I am so utterly devoted to him and his craft,
and as an actress I aspire to be more like him, as impossible as that may be. There are so many
great actors, and I would feel terrible to rank them one by one, but I'll try, but don't be harsh
because I'll surely forget a great one...I just know it. And some of the actors that have been mentioned,
I've never witnessed or haven't seen enough of their work to amaze me, due to various reasons, so my list may one day change.
And none of my selections are biased by the
fragile crush-o-meter of the average 17 year old, but by the admirations of an actress.

1. Johnny Depp
2. Leonardo DeCaprio
3. Jim Carrey
4. Mel Gibson
5. Guy Pierce
6. Al Pacino
7. Denzel Washington
8. Jim Caviezel
too tired to try to rank the rest....

#1 Christian Bale!!!

I was so excited to see Christian Bale on someone else's top ten actor list!
I have been in love with him (as an actor) since he did 'Newsies'!
I don't think that many people have seen and/or liked 'Newsies', but I thought he was
great in it. He's got great looks, a GREAT accent, and he is such a talented actor.
He's picked some very good and diverse roles like in 'American Psycho' and 'Equilibrium'.
I have to recommend 'Equilibrium' to anyone who enjoyed 'The Matrix' (at least the first one).

The most exciting news is that he is playing the role of Bruce Wayne (Batman) in the new movie.
I've been excited about this for over a year when I first heard that they were going to make a
new Batman movie and that he was going to play the part. He is perfect for this role, as I'm sure
most of you have seen by now if you saw the preview for it during the Super Bowl. I'm really
excited for this new Batman movie because it's going back to the beginning with a younger Bruce
Wayne and showing us how he became Batman. It's going to be a darker movie, and it will hold
true to the feel of the comic. (No more bat nipples in the costume!!!) As much as I love Christian
Bale and think that he's an awesome actor, he is still a relatively unknown actor, which is why
he's so great for this movie. I think the biggest mistake of all the other Batman movies (except
the first one, I liked Michael Keaton) is that they put too big of a name in the role. I'm sorry,
but George Clooney (even though I think he has talent as an actor) was really big for a couple of
years because of 'ER' and that is the only reason he got the part of Batman. He does not fit the
role AT ALL! But, to make a long story short, Christian Bale will be awesome as Bruce Wayne and
Batman. And I hope everyone will enjoy him in this movie and come to appreciate him as much as I do.
I think this will be a huge break-out role for him, so I would like to go on record as being one of
the people who loved him before he became huge!

I'd also like to share a short list of some of my other favorite actors (in no particular order):
-Robert de Niro
-Robert Redford
-Robert Duvall (Sorry about the Robert trend)
-Jack Nicolson
-Tom Cruise
-Brad Pitt
-Russel Crowe
-Heath Ledger
-Kevin Spacey
-Denzel Washington
-Johnny Depp
-Al Pacino
-Mel Gibson
-John C. Reily
-Tom Hanks
-Anthony Hopkins
-Robin Williams
-Jim Carey
-James Stewart
-Bing Crosby

think about edward norton when you make lists with actors like johnny depp, who shouldn't be mentioned on a top ten list.

my fav.. well there is no top ten i have a top 3 and then there are more than 30 who are mentionable
1. Edward norton
2. Al pacino
3. robert de niro

Kevin spacey, morgan freeman, sean penn, joaquin phoenix, jeff bridges, mel gibson, harvey keitel, robert duvall, kevin bacon, tom hanks,
christopher walken, brad pitt, samuel l. jackson, denzel washington, tim robbins, dennis hopper, jean reno, ralph fiennes,

Best Directors:
1. David fincher
2. david lynch
3. spike lee
4. christopher nolan
5. joel and ethan coen
6. M. Night Shyamalan

not to mention: steven spielberg, james cameron, roland emmerich

I dont care want anyone says RUSSEL CROWE KICKS ASS, he's the best but not the greatest its only a matter of time. Come on
3 best actor nominations and 1 win. Shit who thinks he should not have won best actor for beautful mind, denzel was good
but shit man.The only reason he did'nt win is because those fucked up hollywood freaks up there where not ready to acknowledge him as
one of the greatest if not the greatest. And there not going to let an aussie win 2 years in a row. He should of won three times.
RUSSEL RULES so does Robert de niro

Sir Laurence Olivier
Sir John Gielgud

1. Marlon Brando - sorry, its not close. DeNiro would be digging ditches if it wasn't for this guy, but its not even about that. If so many of you think that Raging Bull was the best performance ever, who do you think it was based on? Terry Malloy in on the waterfront. Some of you guys should really watch some movies before you post stuff like this.
2. Robert Deniro - it was between him and Pacino, but Deniro has more range. I am a bigger pacino fan though.
3. Al Pacino
4. Jimmy Stewart
5. Jack Nicholson
6. Humphrey Bogart
7. Orson Welles
8. Edward G. Robinson
9. Gregory Peck
10. Laurence Olivier

Hon Mention: Gary Cooper, Robert Duvall, Cary Grant, Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Peter O'Toole, Ben Kingsley

Too often typecast, not enough range to count, but still good actors... John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, James Cagney, Fred Astaire

Overrated: Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reaves

Also, Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks lose huge points with me because their defining roles are of mentally handicapped people, I have a motto for whenever this comes up in a converstaion, "Anyone can act like a retard"

Underrated... Morgan Freeman, Peter Lorre, Joe Pesci, Sydney Greenstreet, Steve Buscemi, Harvey Keitel

Best of today... Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, Kevin Spacey

huh,

A lot of great actors on your list though I personally think Bogie and Jimmy Stewart didn't bring that much variety to their roles.
I like them both but for me they're in your very well-worded, "Too often typecast, not enough range to count, but still good actors" category.

Also, not that I think Cruise or Pitt are great actors or anything, but I personally wouldn't call them "overrated" because I don't think
that many people seriously consider them to be great actors, Even a lot of the women who love Cruise's smile or Pitt's body would
admit this I think. Certainly, amongst movie nuts (in other words, probably guys like you and me) there are not that many people who would
put them in their Top Fifty Lists. So in fact I think, if anything, they get over-knocked (they do some crap - I admit). But what I mean is,
because they are just considered "pretty boys", some of their better roles get overlooked. I think Cruise was quite good in Rain Man and
excellent in Magnolia for instance while Pitt was pretty good in Seven. Not great actors in my book but personally (and this may get some
response from others) I would call someone like Tom Hanks "overrated" before I call them that word. I like Hanks generally (thought he was
great in Big) but I feel that all his post-Forest Gump academy award nominations were undeserved and I kind of agree a bit with your point
about mentally handicapped roles by the way (though he and Hoffman did those roles well in my opinion - and in Hoffman's case in particular,
there are a number of other strong performances on the resume).

Also, very glad you mentioned Bobby Duval. A lot of people forget about him - if you haven"t seen it, rent The Great Santini.

Anyway, this is not to you but to some of the guys previously who knocked Johnny Depp. He may be goodlooking but he s a totally,
TOTALLY different kettle of fish from guys like Cruise and Pitt. The guy has built a unique and original career and has played his
quirky roles very cleverly (and was good in one of his more standard roles, Donnie Brosco or whatever it was called). By the way, Pacino has
done so many mafia movies that it is easy to knock him for that but he does them quite well and, in fact, I kind of think his somewhat touching
performance in Donnie Brosco is "underrated".

Back to "huh" for my last comment. Do you really think Orson Welles was that great an actor? I know the guy was a genius as a director and in general
but one of the top ten actors of all time?

Here's my top ten and their best movies:
1) Robert de Niro (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull)
2) Paul Newman (Cool Hand Luke, Hud)
3) Al Pacino (The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon)
4) Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now)
5) Jack Nicholson (Batman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
6) Robert Mitchum (Cape Fear, The Night of the Hunter)
7) Tom Hanks (Saving Private Ryan, Big)
8) Morgan Freeman (Shawshank Redemption, Se7en)
9) Robert Duvall (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now)
10) Gregory Peck (To Kill a Mockingbird, Cape Fear)

Most Underrated Award: tie between Gary Sinise and Joe Pesci

Most Overrated Award: Leonardo Dicaprio

Best Young Actor: Haley Joel Osment

Actor with the Most Potential: Far and Away, it's Edward Norton

By far the worst female actors are anet benning and that fucking slut gweneth pultrow, there fucking so shit i cant

Hello Deer Hunter, I agree with your first two lists however your lists from the 90's and the 2000's are severely lacking.
You have managed to list great actors, but from only big name films, You have missed many of the most heavily underrated actors of all time
I would like to point out that on very few of these lists, does Edward Norton make it, he is the easily the best actor the world has ever seen
so if you would not mind, I am going to change your lists from the 1990's and 2000's
keeping some as they are truely great actors and it was good for you to put them on there.
You also put the correct people on there for the wrong roles.
1990's
1. Edward Norton as Derek Vinyard in AMERICAN HISTORY X and as Aaron Stampler in PRIMAL FEAR
2. Sean Bean as Spence in RONIN
3. Kevin Spacey as Verbal Kint in THE USUAL SUSPECTS
4. Denzel Washington as John Hobbes in FALLEN
5. Tom Cruise as Jerry Maguire in JERRY MAGUIRE
6. Jeremy Irons as Clause Von Bulow in REVERSAL OF FORTUNE
7. Nicholas Cage as Ben Sanderson in LEAVING LOS VEGAS
8. Geoffrey Rush as David Helfgott in SHINE
9. Russel Crow in as Jeffrey Wigand in THE INSIDER
10. Ian McKellen as James Whale in GODS AND MONSTERS
the rest of this list I agree enough with to leave it

2000's
1. Edward Norton as Jack Teller in THE SCORE and Monty Brogan in THE 25TH HOUR
2. Brian Cox as James Brogan in THE 25TH HOUR
3. Johnny Depp as Sir James Matthew Barre in FINDING NEVERLAND
4. Sean Bean as Boromir in THE LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and as Partridge in EQUILIBRIUM
5. Russel Crowe as John Forbes Nash Jr. in A BEAUTIFUL MIND
6. Adrien Brody as Wladslay Szpielman in THE PIANIST
7. Sean Penn as Jimmy Markum in MYSTIC RIVER
8. Dustin Hoffman as Bernard in I HEART HUCKABEES
9. Kevin Spacey as Prot/Robert Porter in KPAX and David Gale in THE LIFE OF DAVID GALE
10. Denzel Washington as Coach Herman Boone in REMEMBER THE TITANS
This list is missing a couple, but it is the most complete as I could make it
Yes I know there are people on both lists but they deserve it
Yes I know that Edward Norton has 4 roles on there, but if you haven't seen him, go rent these movies, they're amazing, and he is amazing in them, it's a wonder he hasn't won an oscar, or been nominated more than he has
Yes I know that The 25th hour is getting high marks, but even though the movie wasn't great, the acting was phenomenal

Deer Hunter,

You meant Robert Deniro as Michael Vronsky in The Deer Hunter.

I know these are all just opinions but just for the sake of discussion why
Ryan O'Neal in Love Story over, for example, Jack Lemmon in Save the Tiger or
Brando in Last Tango in Paris? Other ones to consider from the 70s:

Christopher Walken in The Deer Hunter (maybe you were only talking about main roles though)
Jon Voight in Coming Home
Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon
Sylvester Stallone in Rocky (no kidding)
Laurence Olivier in Sleuth

As for the 80s, I too thought Tom Cruise was good in Born on the Fourth of July
but I would rank Tom Hanks in Big higher. I think that to play a kid believably
was a very tough assignment that he pulled off in a way that maybe few others could
have done.

Your Cruise one for the 90s, Jerry Maguire, is an interesting choice but I would
definitely choose his performance in Magnolia ahead of Jerry Maguire. I like Michael Caine
but maybe Cruise deserved an Oscar that year. Also, what about Travolta in Pulp Fiction?

I question a couple of your 2000 selections. I know everyone gives loads of praise
to Penn in Mystic River but to me the performance was way overdone. I think he
is a good actor though. Also, I thought Jack Nicholson was very so-so in About Schmidt
as he has been in many things since some great 70s performances and his terrific performances
in Terms of Endearment and A Few Good Men. Yes, I think As Good as it Gets is overrated.

Also, Tom Hanks for Cast Away? I've said it before but in my opinion he has not done anything
that great since Forrest Gump and the nomination for Cast Away was more a result of a kind of
"anything that Hanks does has gotta be great" attitude that seems to be out there
(as mentioned above though I do have great respect for some of his early performances).

Just my opinions.

p.s. Mainer Film Buff - I like Ed Norton too but you missed maybe the best one, "The People vs. Larry Flynt"
As the nice lawyer with the wild client, he shows a range outside of a lot of his tough guy Deniro-like
roles. He was pretty freaky in Primal Fear though, I must admit.

Christopher Walken's best performance was in the DEAD ZONE

-Stanley Kubrick

Alec Baldwin is my favorite actor. I loved him in "The Cooler". Favorite' line: "Jimmy Stewart bullshit.

MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME

Good choices all

The 1999 best supporting actor race had a flaw:

Michael Clarke Duncan Should have WON the oscar and William H. Macy should have got nominated.

NOONE ELSE

-Stanley Kubrick

I hate this site and you all suck for getting on this

I still say that you are all overlooking Christian Bale. Look outside of the everyday Hollywood
actors that you see in a new movie every single year! There are a ton of great actors out there,
don't get me wrong. But everyone loves and stands by all of the same ones and watches all of the
same "million dollar blockbusters." Expand your movie watching experiences and go out and watch
a smaller movie that wasn't made just to appeal to the masses. There are some great actors and
great perfomances out there that so many of you are either missing or too blind to actually see.

The new Batman looks awesome!!! I too, love Christian Bale, and he will make an
outstanding Bruce Wayne. I know a lot of people are sick of the recent comic
book movie craze, but I beg you to hold that thought until after this new Batman
movie comes out. It will truly go back to the beginnings of Bruce Wayne and Batman
and make believers out of all of you again. Anyone who claims to be a true comic
fan is going to love this movie, and Christian Bale could not be any more perfect
for the part. Enjoy the movie, and if you haven't familiarized yourself with
Christian Bale yet, go out and watch 'Equilibrium' and 'Reign Of Fire.'

Alec Baldwin is our greatest actor. Like Brando, he revolunzied acting in "A Streetcar Named Desire" Baldwin was better than Brando in this masterpiece, acording to some critics.

PS Both Alec Baldwin and Marlon Brando were born on April 3, Sign of Aries.

As far as leading men go, some performances I've enjoyed were:

Kevin Kline (I Love You To Death and Dave)
Gene Hackman (Hoosiers, Class Action)
Robert Redford (The Natural, All The President's Men)
Jeff Bridges (Tucker, The Contender)
Clint Eastwood (Bridges of Madison County)
Bruce Greenwood (Thirteen Days)
Michael Douglas (Wall Street, Falling Down)
Robin Williams (Mrs. Doubfire)

There are some exellent actors among the supporting casts as well:

Wilford Brimley
Charles Durning
Sydney Pollack
Danny Aiello
James Woods
William Devane
Charles Grodin
Kevin Dunn
Frank Langella

Has anyone felt some sort of connection between Jude Law and Ewan McGregor?

-Stanley Kubrick

3. Robert de Niro

5. Tom Cruise
6. Antonio Banderas
7. Sean Peann
8. Hugh Grand (he is really the best romantic actor , I think)
9. Denzal Washington
10. Al Pacino

In reading an article about "Casablance" the writer stated that Humphrey Bogart was NOT considered the greatest actor back then but only he was right for the part. Only One man's opinion but it blew my mind.

Happy Birthday, Alec Baldwin.

Most Underrated:
Edward Norton (American History X)

Most Overrated:
Jamie Foxx (Ray)
Imitation not method acting

. Alec Baldwin (The Aviator)Understated acting. Of all the talented actors around, Mr. Baldwin is the best in my book.

Like Bogart, Baldwin is a godsend, period, which I must have been thinking when I began my previous email with a period. Phyllis H. Kunz

What happened with the repeats. Oh well, third time is charm. Thanks!

There's a rumor Online that Casablanca will be remade with Ashton Kutcher and Paris Hilton in Baghdad. Which is worse than Ben Affleck and J Lo. Jesus H. Christ. My pick for Rick is Alec Baldwin who is the only actor who can pull it off. I hope the Ashton-Paris rumor was an April Fool Joke. Like, Ashton is the joker in the deck and Alec is the King of Hearts. If it happens I sure hope a sequel of "The Cooler" is made, which would be Casablanca in Las vegas, a safer bet.

Now, the rumor is that George Clooney, who is looney and goofy, is in consideration for Rick Blaine. No doubt Brad Pritt will be cast as Ilsa, if you get my drift. Phyllis H. KunzMy daughter would kill me if she saw this email. She is a big fan of both. Me? Alec Baldwin is the "Bogeyman", a nice play on words, right?

On May 1, 2005, Sunday, there will be a one-night only event reading of Casablanca. Everbody is so excited about who will play Rick Blaine. Alec Baldwin has my vote for Rick. Like Bogart, Baldwin is a godsend, and I am keeping my fingers crossed for him.

I love this site.

I'd like to throw my two cents in for this list. I cannot list the top ten greatest actors of all time, so instead I will list a few roles and the actors who played them that really amazed me.
Tom Hanks in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump
Robert Redford in The Natural and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense
Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind, Gladiator, and L.A. Confidential
Daniel Day Lewis in Last of the Mohicans, The Crucible, and My Left Foot
Jack Nicholson in most roles
Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Johnny Depp in Blow, Edward Scissor Hands, and Pirates of the Carribean
Brad Pitt in Seven, Fight Club and yes, Troy
Mel Gibson in Braveheart
Al Pacino in Scarface and The Godfather
Robert Deniro in Raging Bull
Chow Yun Fat in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Robert Duvall in The Godfather
Edward Norton in most movies hes done, American History X
Willem Dafoe in Boondock Saints
Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire (say what you will, ladies and gents, but it was well done, and deserves praise)
Cuba Gooding Jr. in Jerry Maguire
Will SMith in Ali
Sir Ian McKellan in anything hes done
Chirstopher Walken in The Deer Hunter
Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca
Marlon Brando in the Godfather and On the Waterfront
Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs
Samuel L Jackson in Pulp FIction
Mark Madsen in Resivoir Dogs
Kevin Spacey in American Beauty
Benecio del Toro in Traffic
Sean Penn in Dead Man Walking
Guy Pearce in Memento and LA Confidential
Denzel Washington in John Q (underrated flick, a departure from his usual roles)

I know its a lot but I cut it down a lot too. I will say however that my favorite actor is Daniel Day Lewis.
Go watch The Crucible. Absolutely stunning. Also, Guy Pearce in Memento, Russell Crowe in LA Confidential,
Brad Pitt in Fight Club, and De Niro in Raging Bull. And for all those who say that Tom Hanks' best acting
was done in Forrest Gump, I implore you to watch Philadelphia.

I forgot to mention Gene Hackman in Hoosiers and Ron Cheadle in anything- also Brad Pitt in Snatch- well done.

Furthermore, I almost forgot Bill Murray in Lost in Translation. wow.

I agree with you about the way you view the issue. I remember, long time ago, Jack London said something like "Everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has a positive side."

Dear Der Sprangenmensch,
You asked me about Edward Norton in Fight Club. Like all these lists with movies and actors: the motivations are so very personal. For instance, I hated the film fight club, to me it was a film about decadence and contempt of life in general. It's a very fashionable concept. My horor and disappointment over this film was probably so strong that I felt the need to express it. Good question you asked me. Thanks.

JOHNNY DEPP

He's the best actor I've seen. He can play any role he takes perfectly. Even though half the movie he's been in suck, I'll admit, he still played the characters wonderfully

7. Matthew Broderick (Ferris Bueller, Glory)

2. Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump, Big)
1. James Stewart (The Philadelphia Story, The Shop Around the Corner)

"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."
..Funny, I would say the same thing about Robert DeNiro...
