best actor of all time

How could I not mention Tom Hanks? I mean, the guy is pure genius.

Gregory Peck-His career was stellar with a few of his great performances as Joe Bradley in Roman Holiday, Capt. Keith Mallory in The Guns Of Navarone, and of course what I believe to be is his best ever role Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.

If I absolutely had to narrow it down to one choice....I'd go with Laurence Olivier.


*Trivia tidbit - In a film career spanning 59 years, only twice did Olivier go more than 5 years without getting an Oscar nomination.
On those two occasions he went 7 years between nods...LOL.

Ah, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, and Julia Roberts? God, sorry, but you gotta see more movies if you put them on your list.

Robert De Niro is the man that got me into movies and he will always be my favorite actor. He's absolutely brilliant.

Good choices but to be truthful I've only seen Taxi Driver on TV and I really need to get my hands on Casino.

you need to

Something just hit me would Casino basically be Goodfellas minus Liotta and Sorvino?

Wow, you just realized it's another mob movie directed by Scorsese starring DeNiro and Pesci? You're a pretty bright little dude. OK, now see how you do with this one: two of the three following images are the same. Can you tell which they are?




And no, I don't think Casino is a simple GoodFellas retread. But if you care to discuss it in depth, check out THIS thread.

Yeah, you need a bigger list there, too, Lennon:

The King of Comedy, Midnight Run, 1900, Once Upon a Time in America, The Mission, Brazil, Jacknife, Angel Heart, Mean Streets, Awakenings, Night and the City, CopLand, Mad Dog & Glory, A Bronx Tale, Jackie Brown, Wag the Dog... Damn I hope Bobby makes another really good movie again someday.



Get renting, fellas.


*and Pup, DeNiro is in The Godfather Part II of course (won an Oscar for it), not the original Godfather.

No need to be a d*ckhead. I was just joking.
