I'm just a big fan of lists to see what everyone's tastes are

My favorite Morgan Freeman was when he was on television in the early days of The Electric Company kid show, kinda an older kids' Sesame Street. You have to be a real actor to emote when your only line is the definition of a word. He also was good in brief comedy sketches, like the about-to-retire (postman, wasn't it?) trying to teach a younger dufus his route.

Clint Eastwood seems to me to be always playing Clint Eastwood. There's not much difference between his Man With No Name and Dirty Harry. At least when he was playing Rowdy Yates on TV there was sometimes an innocence and uncertainty to his character. In the movies, the biggest stretch of his ability I ever saw was when he played the dying country singer--it wasn't his usual role.

Will Smith is best in light comedy--Men in Black

I'm not as fond of Russel Crowe as most folks--his role that I liked best was Cinderella Man although that film really wasn't fair to the real Max Baer.

Jimmy Stewart always breathed life into his roles, made those characters living, breathing people. He did comedy, drama, Westerns, suspense, you name it. Making Harvey seem real was probably his most outstanding performance. But I have a special place in my heart for the original Flight of the Phoenix in which Stewart--who in real life was a pilot who flew some 20 bomber missions over Europe during World War II--played a pilot under pressure. I just enjoy watching him draw on his own experience in that role, especially when he's trying to keep his crippled craft in the air. A stunt pilot was killed making that film.

Denzel Washington is a very capable actor. I liked him best as Malcolm X.

I wouldn't go see Adam Sandler if they were burning him at the stake.

Never heard of Rachel McAdams or Marcia Gay Harden.

I really think that McAdams is on the verge of becoming a great actress. The problem is that she hasn't taken highly prestigous roles. Once she does, she will do fantastic. She's been good in pretty much everything I've seen.

Denzel Washington- Training Day

James Stewart - Rear Window

Russell Crowe - Gladiator (My Favorite)/ A Beautiful Mind (His Best)

Adam Sandler - Punch Drunk Love

Will Smith - Pursuit Of Happyness/Ali

Rachel McAdams - Wedding Crashers

Marcia Gay Harden - Into The Wild/Mystic River but honestly why is she on this list?

Clint Eastwood - Gran Torino

Morgan Freeman - The Shawshank Redemption
