Moved to Actors, Awards, & Directors. Please make sure to post new threads in the correct forum.
I've also renamed it slightly because, if it's a thread for anyone to post their choices (rather than you and yours, elaborated on), it would be a duplicate. |

No Phantom Thread for Daniel Day Lewis?

Re: My greatest actors and performances of all time
I m not sure I haven't written s similar list simewhere, but here goes:
Robert Duvall - The Apostle Gregory Peck- To kill a Mockingbird Harrison Ford- I feel he is so underrated as an actor- he's played so many different types of parts , and is so believable and versatile in so many different genres; I am impressed with his performance in K-19(the Widowmaker) George c Scott - Patton Sally Field - yes I really 'like her' in so many roles, a favorite movie of mine is Murphy's Romance. Paul Newman - Butch Cassidy Walter Mathau- Plaza Suite Jack Lemmon - The China Syndrome France's McDormand - Fargo Well that s a few. You know we can gush and elucidate about writers and directors til the cows come home- but the truth is, in the movies- it is the actor who defines the film, and who leaves the lasting, indelible impression of the experience in your mind and heart. |

Re: My greatest actors and performances of all time
when it comes to this list I will be judging it on who I purely think are the most stunning actors of all time and not my personal favourite actors otherwise Paul Newman or Robert Redford would be number one.

It just shows that their chemistry in real life was just as fun and wacky as there a screen friendship. The story is told at 2:15 https://youtu.be/p2CAa9MUMWQ |
