I 'm going to warn you right now that this is sort of a silly thread. But it's a slow day today, and I was thinking of a way to pass the time. So I was thinking, after reading @Gideon58 's review of The Post, in which he calls the director a great storyteller: that Spielberg grew up to become what his name means - a 'spiel' being a lengthy story . Then I was thinking of another movie I saw recently; The Old Man and a Gun, in which Sissy Spacek played a good hearted gal who was, however, 'spacey' enough to take a ride from a stranger and think he was joking about being a bank robber .
Then there's Paul Newman - when you think of it; didn't he usher in a new proto type of iconic anti hero film character? - the bad boy of Hud ( not to mention Butch and the Sting ) who was somehow sympathetic to the viewer. Hence - a 'new man'.
I bet there's loads more, so feel free to take a turn. I'd say this is mostly for movie folks , but if you have a great one in another field - feel free to list them here.
One exception. No references to Anthony Weiner. Please. It would be too easy.
