The Top 100 Movie Stars Countdown

I gave Reps to both Sexy's and GBG's last post....Why?
Because I can see that a slower countdown can be fun and allow more interaction... AND I can also see that a 'quickie' can be a fun way to spend Thanksgiving. Besides it beats watching football all day long in one's underwear.

We can always have a Top Movie Star countdown next week or next month. You know The Sequel....errr I mean a Reboot.

I understand the argument both ways. However, as SC said, this is this thing. This is what he does. It's not bad, it's just different. But it can be really annoying when you miss it. Especially if you're expecting something different. I had a good time with it last night, but SC's list are best enjoyed, IMO, when you're about and can take part. It's being there for 3 or 4 hours and commenting, then it's done. As he said, it's a quick fix. Personally, I don't mind reading through these threads even if I miss them, but there's no doubt that being involved is the best experience of them.

My list, which I knocked up as quickly and carelessly as I think most should for one of these SC lists.

1. Drew Barrymore

6. Meg Ryan

Good to see Claire Danes get a nod. I usually always like her in her movies and she is the:
undisputed champion crier, nobody cries on cue like Claire.

One of my wife's shows is Homeland, starring Claire Danes. It's a pretty good show.

I didn't expect anybody else to vote for him.

Yeah, she cries wonderfully doesn't she? I can only think of two other actresses that cry like that.



Kim Valentine and Carla Bonner from Neighbours. Both complete crying machines who, because they did it so well, spent much of their screen time in misery.

I wonder if I could've filled my list with Neighbours alumni?

Great work Sexy!

Thank U

missed this thread being with family the last couple days, & now the internet went out at my place so i'm posting from my iPad & won't be able to create an elaborate 'image ballot.' Jack wins !

looks like the actors/actresses to not make the Countdown from my list were Wilford Brimley, Robert Englund, Cheech Marin, John Saxon, Sharon Stone, Kim Cattrall, Errol Flynn & Olivia De Havilland

*fistbump* to HK for being the other to help get Heather Langenkamp on the list

1. James Cagney
2. Famke Janssen
3. Jack Nicholson
4. Pam Grier
5. Kurt Russell
6. Gong Li
7. Toshiro Mifune
8. Carrie-Ann Moss
9. Jeff Bridges
10. Uma Thurman
11. Wilford Brimley
12. Robert Englund
13. Cheech Marin
14. John Saxon
15. Heather Langenkamp
16. Arnold Schwarzenegger
17. Clint Eastwood
18. Lee Van Cleef
19. Angelina Jolie
20. Brad Pitt
21. Sharon Stone
22. Kim Cattrall
23. Paul Newman
24. Errol Flynn
25. Olivia De Havilland

that's Tatsuya Nakadai, from Harakiri (1962), not Toshiro Mifune

I think any movie star that can have the wrong photo shown and have nobody notice has no business being called a movie star.

I have added a complete list of The Top 100 Movie Stars to the first post of this thread at the bottom.

*GASP* How come Kaplan didn't say anything?

I will fix that.

Is this Toshiro Mifune?

I missed out a lot of peeps. Like Dustin Hoffman and Paul Newman for example, probably many others, but here's my list that I made quickly:

1. Jean-Paul Belmondo
2. Jack Nicholson
3. Humphrey Bogart
4. James Stewart
5. Marcello Mastroianni
6. Marlon Brando
7. Al Pacino
8. Robert De Niro
9. Kyle MacLachlan
10. Elliott Gould
11. Brad Pitt
12. Julianne Moore
13. Leonardo DiCaprio
14. Philip Seymour Hoffman
15. Warren Beatty
16. Robert Duvall
17. John Cazale
18. Clint Eastwood
19. John Travolta
20. John Wayne
21. Jeff Bridges
22. David Bowie
23. Johnny Depp
24. Orson Welles
25. Gene Hackman

You forgot Burt(18 points)Reynolds again!

Looking over the top 100 there are loads I missed actually. Reading GB's thread about doing a proper version of this has made me think it won't be such a bad idea as this thread would be a great reference point for a lot of users to use as like a pool of options too help them choose their final list.
