Humphrey Bogart - Dead End

I'm not old, you're just 12.
Humphrey Bogart - Treasure Of The Sierra Madre
Brad Pitt - Fight Club
Sally Field - Forrest Gump

Sandra Bullock - Speed
Johnny Depp - Ed Wood
Ashley Judd - The courtroom scene that was cut out of Natural Born Killers (I really know nothing about her...)
Ralph Fiennes - Schindlers List
Tom Hanks - Road to Perdition
Harrison Ford - Indianna Jones and the Temple of Doom
Natalie Wood - West Side Story
Jeff Bridges - The Fisher King
Robert De Niro - Raging Bull
Gwyneth Paltrow - The Royal Tennenbaums

Morgan Freeman - Seven

That's my take on all those people, and I must say you have good taste in actors! But you forgot one of my favorites:

You meant Al Pacino?



Thats what i thought but my mate told me again and again it was him, personally i think De Niro's best movie was the comedy where he plays a gangster and gets emotional and kidnaps/ stalks a shrink. The name escapes my memory now, it will come back to me in my head when i least expect it.

Sb will understand this, the friend who told me was Luke...i should have known better
