Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 12, 2006, 10:00:02 PM Yep.
Tired of countdowns, but always seem to watch them. Love the film ones, though. I've always considered Marlon Brando to be the best actor... or potentially. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 10:18:28 PM I couldn't believe Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks were so far down.
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: The Baron on March 12, 2006, 10:19:56 PM Steve Mcqueen number 43.... no way Is anyone watching this on C4? Remember this will be Film Four esque choices. A De Niro/Pacino 1,2 wouldn't surprise me at all. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Nem on March 12, 2006, 10:24:36 PM Tom Hanks, Tim Robbins as well.

A De Niro/Pacino 1,2 wouldn't surprise me at all. I think they've been voted by other actors. May be wrong. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: lazaroonie on March 12, 2006, 10:29:51 PM I couldn't believe Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks were so far down. I cant believe they are in it at all... Washington brings a whole new definition to the word wooden. And he was higher than Poitier !! Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: BigTomatoes on March 12, 2006, 10:30:25 PM samuel . l . jackson

Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 10:58:27 PM Patrick Srewart. Great actor
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:05:46 PM Christopher Walken. Best actor ever. although Im a big fan of some of his films (Prophecy, Dear Hunter), he cant act. delivering lines in the style of Cristopher Walken isn't acting unless you're NOT Christopher Walken Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:08:17 PM No way Adam. The guy is class. Best bad guy around.
In True Romance he was fantastic. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:10:23 PM but it's the same tone and delivery every line
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:12:44 PM I think he was a dancer before he was an actor. Was it a fatboy slim video he was in?
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 12, 2006, 11:13:08 PM That Russian Roulette scene was pretty awesome. He was different in that than he is in any other of his films.
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:14:35 PM you know what I mean though, he's hardly versitile. best actor ever :D
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: The Baron on March 12, 2006, 11:14:48 PM but it's the same tone and delivery every line Surely the same could be said about De Niro then? In no order.... Nicholson! Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Tinsel Town on March 12, 2006, 11:16:45 PM Yep.
Weapon of Choice. Pacino has to be...Godfather ,Serpico,Scarface,Any Given Sunday, Donnie Brasco etc etc etc Td Th Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Nem on March 12, 2006, 11:17:13 PM Tom Hanks.
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:18:29 PM not Deniro as much as Pacino. Again, don't get me wrong, thouroughly enjoyed alot of his films but he does get hired to be Al Pacino alot these days.
any sign of; Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Anthony Hopkins did ben Kingsley show up yet? Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:19:05 PM Sean Penn is very good

What was that film with DeNiro when he was a retarded cleaner? Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:20:42 PM Gary Oldman has already been. I don't think he is a top 50 actor.
Norton ....eh...good . But not top 50 Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:20:54 PM Anyone ever see Rosencrants and Guildenstern are dead with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman. piece of genius
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Nem on March 12, 2006, 11:21:50 PM Gary Oldman has already been. I don't think he is a top 50 actor. Norton ....eh...good . But not top 50 Norton is definitely a Top 50 IMO Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:22:19 PM oh come on Sark, Gary Oldman acts the socks off Christopher Walken or Sean Penn
Is this as voted for by AMERICAN actors Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:22:27 PM I think if this poll was in 10 years, then Norton would be in the top bunch. But he is really young
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:23:51 PM lol. It is probably dodgy British actors like Ross Kemp who are voting on it. I keep expecting Phil Mitchell to make the top 20. :D
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:24:02 PM American history X rounders and Fight club. shows a bit of contrast

Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 12, 2006, 11:26:22 PM not Deniro as much as Pacino. Again, don't get me wrong, thouroughly enjoyed alot of his films but he does get hired to be Al Pacino alot these days. any sign of; Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, Anthony Hopkins did ben Kingsley show up yet? Oldman was around 37 Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: lazaroonie on March 12, 2006, 11:26:34 PM not yet. i dont expect him to be there....Not that I dont think he is a great actor, just that if he wass going to be in it, he would be further down than top 20.
did someone say Patrick Stewart ? FFS all he has been in is a glorified soap opera. Next you will be telling us Jack Duckworth should be there. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 12, 2006, 11:27:30 PM I think if this poll was in 10 years, then Norton would be in the top bunch. But he is really young I'm a big Norton fan. Rounders and Amercian History X are two of my fave films. I hope David Bowie is in there, if only for his part in Labyrinth. ;goodvevil; Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: thetank on March 12, 2006, 11:28:08 PM Hmmm, do you need to be versatile to be a good actor?
If you only play holdem well are you a good poker player? Versatility is good, but not essential to an individual performance. There are notable exceptions of course. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:29:16 PM shocker
Hmmm, do you need to be versatile to be a good actor? erm, yes. that's the job really. pretending to be someone else. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 12, 2006, 11:29:30 PM I've had this conversation with Baron be4.
I know De Niro has a certain mannerism, but I wouldn't say he's the same in all his films. Just look at Rocky and Bull Winkle. ::) Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 12, 2006, 11:29:35 PM Who is Jack Duckworth. I bet he is a soap actor. No soap actor could make a poll like this.
Patrick Stewart. Great actor. X-Men, Christmas Carol, Mobey Dick. The guy is one of the best. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Nem on March 12, 2006, 11:29:52 PM not yet. i dont expect him to be there....Not that I dont think he is a great actor, just that if he wass going to be in it, he would be further down than top 20. did someone say Patrick Stewart ?

Does that mean Hugh Grant is a terrible actor? Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Nem on March 12, 2006, 11:30:47 PM Bruce Willis or Tom Cruise?
Do you think that either of them will make the Top 10? Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: brad.strider on March 12, 2006, 11:31:28 PM shocker Hmmm, do you need to be versatile to be a good actor? erm, yes. that's the job really. pretending to be someone else.

Probably the best British comedy actor for years.
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Nem on March 12, 2006, 11:33:08 PM Tim Robbins has to be in the Top 10
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:33:26 PM Does that mean Hugh Grant is a terrible actor? yes Tom Cruise has been outstanding in recent film Vanilla sky, Minority Report and the Fantastic Last Samuri (over look for half a dozen Oscars, Lord of the bloody Rings my arse) Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: AdamM on March 12, 2006, 11:34:13 PM Hugh Grant is a good actor.

think theres got to be a bird, so will try for katherine hepburn. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: thetank on March 13, 2006, 12:00:28 AM Samuel L. Jackson is my favourite.
Although I'm not quite sad enough to have Ezekiel 25:17 memorized :D Ok ok, its good to be versatile, I can't deny that, but it's sometimes better to do one thing really well than 10 things allright. Particulary if the thing that needs doing is your forte. Of course it's better to do 10 things really well, most of the greatest actors are versatile, but some very good ones are not. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: brad.strider on March 13, 2006, 12:01:15 AM ok, what about sigourney weaver, she done a good film with matt :Dthink theres got to be a bird, so will try for katherine hepburn.

LOL Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: thetank on March 13, 2006, 01:07:01 AM yeah those nutters that spend hours on forums and stuff... ::) ;karabiner; Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: The Baron on March 13, 2006, 01:09:46 AM I've had this conversation with Baron be4. I know De Niro has a certain mannerism, but I wouldn't say he's the same in all his films. Just look at Rocky and Bull Winkle. ::) Eh, now dont start this again! Woddid I tell ya? Brando owns De Niro's sorry ass! Level with Pacino? Pah! Pretty good top 10 IMO. To be honest I think in a few years the top 50 will all be next generation actors with talent like Seymour Hoffman, Norton, Brody, Depp etc etc etc Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 13, 2006, 01:09:57 AM Of Al Pacino vs. Robert De Niro For me it's got to be Pacino. He doesn't prostitute himself by doing lame ass comedy films. Does Bob really need the money that bad? I wouldn't say that makes him the weaker actor though. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 13, 2006, 01:11:30 AM Ooo errrr. I think perhaps Brando number 2, Newman number 1 now. No longer rate Samuels chances much. Tank mate, Samuel is pretty rubbish. he has had some "kind" parts, but generally rubbish. wooohoooo JD at no 2. I think Samuel L Jackson (If that is who you refer to) is one of the best character actors around. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 13, 2006, 01:12:43 AM Yep. Tired of countdowns, but always seem to watch them. Love the film ones, though. I've always considered Marlon Brando to be the best actor... or potentially. ahem Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 13, 2006, 01:15:04 AM I do wonder though if Pacino and De Niro hadn't had done some of their weaker films, if they'd pip Brando to the top.
Brando hasn't done many weak ones, because he hasn't done many films. However, I think Brando is one of the few who turn acting into a pure art form. Changing a script can be translated as arrogance, but when his improvisations turn out to be so captivating, it's hard to argue with the man. Plus, he would have sat on you. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: The Baron on March 13, 2006, 01:17:40 AM Yep. Tired of countdowns, but always seem to watch them. Love the film ones, though. I've always considered Marlon Brando to be the best actor... or potentially. ahem Indeed. That doesn't mean De Niro is close to being as good tho.... ;goodvevil; I think the problem with comparing De Niro/Pacino to Brando is that Brando did it first. Has it been bettered? Very tough to say with a revolutionary actor. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: thetank on March 13, 2006, 01:19:19 AM I believe every performance you give effects every other performance, just in a small way, but it's there nonetheless. I'm less encapulated by De Niros performance in Casino and Goodfellas after watching Rocky and Bullwinkle. Kinda spoiled things a little for me.
Suspending my disbelief becomes that much harder. Doesn't mess things up completely, after all, he is still an outstanding actor. I certainly wouldn't say that he isn't versatile. It's just that with not much between him and Pacino the above is what tips the balance for me. For this reason a lot of board treaders will be very selective of the roles they take. Ed Norton, Johnny Depp and Daniel Day Lewis being the ones that were mentioned in the programme for doing so. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: snoopy1239 on March 13, 2006, 01:20:38 AM Like I said, Brando is one of the few actors to turn his profession into a pure art form.
An artist can plan a picture for weeks, preparing every single detail, and then translate it to canvas to create a masterpiece. Few artists can create that masterpiece spontaneously. I think when it comes to acting, Brando is one of those few.

Would Marley, Lennon, or Hendrix still be considered in such high esteem if they had lived to see their career tail off with some weak performances, flopped albums, and poor writing? Day Lewis has to be the most selective around.

I loved De Niro in Raging Bull - utterly compelling. However in a lot of other films I just see an actor with lots of similar roles. I dont see his character, I see Robert De Niro. I've never had this with Pacino. Also watching Pacino's growth as an actor (and a character) over 3 Godfather films is truly amazing.

I think Lennon did live to see his career tail off. That Walls and Bridges album, isn't that why he got shot?

Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 13, 2006, 08:26:07 PM Ok, this isn't exactly the same as the greatest movie stars.
But has anyone seen the site for the new Quentin Tarintino movie. It is called the 'HOSTEL'. I hate movies like this one. But the website is kind of cool. I got to it from one of my email accounts. On hotmail there is an advert which I clicked on. What is good about these type of films?. Blood and Guts. Not for me. I like movies like Goodfellas and Donnie Brasco, Meet Joe Black, Good Will Hunting, The Hustler I thought horror movies were dead. Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on March 13, 2006, 08:28:39 PM Sorry, I do like. Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness
They are good movies...but most other horror is crap Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: 77dave on March 14, 2006, 04:18:09 AM how has no-one mentioned clint eastwood

Godfather parts 1, 2 and 3 Dog Day Afternoon The Recruit Scarface Devil's Advocate Any Given sunday Carlito's Way Heat Donnie Brasco Jeez I'm a geek, but that's beside the point. Pacino rules :D Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on April 07, 2006, 01:10:14 AM This was from last month, I know. But I have just thought of another two actors that nobody mentioned . Harrison Ford and Kevin Costner. Indiana Jones, Star wars ... some of the highest earning films of all time
Kevin Costner Dances With Wolves They should be in the top 50 I think Nemesis or Adam was voted Blondes best film buff. You missed these two out guys. I am sure Barry Norman would include them in the top 50 :D Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: The Baron on April 07, 2006, 01:28:20 AM This was from last month, I know.

He should be at number eight hundred and eighty eight, one in front of Kurt Russell and two in front of Richard Gere!

He has made some bad movie choices like waterworld and the postman. But before that he was a really good actor. He will be back
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: thetank on April 07, 2006, 02:00:52 PM Get over it, you're never going to meet him :D
Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on April 07, 2006, 02:56:38 PM lol , I hope not.

Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: Sark79 on April 07, 2006, 04:15:36 PM Some folks think John Wayne is a good actor. He is absolutely awful. Captain Janeway was voted best Star Trek captain. She is terrible at acting. David Hasselhoff is a huge star is Germany. He can't sing or act. Costner is a far better actor than any of the above. I think twenty years from now, people will still be talking about each of the above. Twenty years from now people will still say " that Costner chap sure can act ". " he is a natural actor ".. " what a great performance he did in the film with the Wolves ". :D Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: thetank on April 07, 2006, 04:41:26 PM Often outspoken, never out-nonsensed. :D Title: Re: 50 Greatest Actors Post by: RED-DOG on April 07, 2006, 04:44:47 PM But soft, what light from yonder window breaks?
