Great Actors Old & New

[DAVIDTUA]

interesting list i agree with your list but out of curiousity tom cruise often gets crap for being a horrible actor who's in great block buster hits!

so what films do you find him to be a good actor in?

[Trainer Monkey]

Boris Karloff
Bela Lugosi
Vincent Price
Peter Lorre
Christopher Lee
Peter Cushing


What? So I like horror films

[Dizaster]

Your list pretty much nails it for me Big H.. Pretty much down to the exact actors I would pick.... The only other one I would surely add in is Johnny Depp... Genius in just about every one of his movies...

Either right now your like, damn how could I have forgotten him... OR, you hate him and find him highly overrated... I don't know many people that don't love him though..

Brando
De Niro
Pacino
Denzel
Jackson
Freeman

Johnny Depp is a very talented guy.

I don't rate wahlberg that much, he always seems kinda wooden.

I do think however that Joaquin Phoenix is the new de niro. Although not the greatest film his performance in 'we own the night' is incredible.

Agreed,
IO think that when I see Wahlberg on screen, its incredibly obvious that he is asking.

I agree on the initial list and that Johnny Depp be included!!

I think Jamie Foxx is pretty decent! How about Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction) and Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Casino)?

I like your list but I do have to agree Johnny depp definately deserves to be on the list as well.

A couple others I like are

Emile Hirsch - Although he is young I think hes going to be an incredible actor.

Russell Crow - Some of his movies like Gladiator and Beautiful minds he did an excelllent job in.

Jude Law - I liked him allot in the movie closer.

Morgan Freeman - Older but still pretty good.

I'm sure theres a few more I like I'm just drawing a blank at the moment

some may disagree, but Justin Long is one of the best actors i've seen on film.. You probably would be surprised at how many movies he was in cause he's so good in every role, it's hard to keep track of someone who isn't the lead character in every movie he's in.. Real good though..

Steve Buscemi!!

What a legend. Just seems to play cameo's more than lead parts but still he's a good actor.

Yeh I kind of agree, but I still like nearly all of his performances, probably more down to the films than him
