That's interesting that you've rated Insomnia higher than One Hour Photo. I've just seen Insomnia and thought he was good but better in the other film, which I think overall is superior .

He's great in The Fisher King as well.

Me — I can . It's because I find it so impressive that Daniel Auteuil can be in a ridiculous comedy one minute and then something really serious and harrowing the next.

I liked her in X-Men, especially when she calls Juggernaut a "d-head [typed for clarity]". Hard Candy's a tough watch – took me completely by surprise.

I saw that recently and thought she was excellent.

I like De Niro in Falling in Love. I think it's one of his best performances I really do.

Ellen Page is excellent in X-men, the only problem is that no one else is. She's literally the only person actually trying to act in the entire movie. Everyone else is just having a care-free fun time. Remember, "I'm the Juggernaught Bitch!" Heh, that movie has so many cheesy lines, but her acting is actually impressive in it. You should watch Mouth to Mouth.

Some crackers in that list Dani . And a lot of good actors in with Mads Mikkelsen. Mikael Persbrandt; Kim Bodnia and Thure Lindhardt (also stars of The Bridge); – and Anna Mouglalis — love her. I noticed yesterday that she'd done a film with Daniel Auteuil but it's not easy to get hold of.

Well I can forgive Vinnie Jones but I agree that it's all a bit poor. I like Ian McKellen but I think having had Michael Fassbender playing Magneto has really taken things to a new level, particularly in First Class. Hugh Jackman's always reliable though.

Sidse Babett Knudsen as well - I love her. And Rolf Lassgard had me sobbing like a baby.

I know her but I've not seen her in anything yet.

Oh really? What was that in? I've seen him in some great films outside Wallander (he's my favourite, with Krister Henriksson second ).

She was recently in Westworld, and Rolf was in After the Wedding.

Ah, right. Good to know . He had some very affecting moments in Sebastian Bergman.

Some phenomenal actors coming out of vikinglandia, that's for sure. Even the little girl in The Hunt curled my toes. I found her acting very believable.

Sofia Helin's brilliant as well. Just one more series of The Bridge apparently. It's very odd to see someone reining in their personality like she has to and every so often you get "cracks in the marble" as Jeremy Brett used to say about his mainly austere Sherlock Holmes.

Oh she was in Vikings. Very pretty.

Oh really? I didn't know that . Yeah I like her; I first saw her in Arn – The Knight Templar.

#6 so doesn't belong to this list!

I loves it!

Holy Grail also got me into Monty Python, but, man, it's sloppy. Entertaining, yes, but not that well-made. It's just a long episode of the show. Flying Circus is the best show ever, and Life of Brian is the funniest film ever. Honestly, I love everything from Monty Python, but Holy Grail is a low point, although the lowest is Monty Python Live (Mostly). They had no energy, but the added bits made it entertaining.
