Will Smith, Alan Rickman, Edward Norton. For shear fantasy value, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Craig and Jason Statham.
Martin Lawrence and Will Smith (except I didn't see that Bagger Vance crap). Martin is funny all the time to me. Him and Eddie Murphy together in Life was a hilarious pair up. They worked great together.
Jonny Depp, Nicholas cage, will smith. I used to watch anything with john cusak in it, but he started getting into chick-flick films, and I can't STAND chick flick films. I like Clive Owen because he keeps going for these movies that are just so over the top.
Hi...I just had to ask this question....why no girls? Is this post only for male actors? I have a couple of favourites I would like to list among female actors
The beautiful and intelligent Audrey Hepburn. No modern actress can touch her performances in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS, ROMAN HOLIDAY, SABRINA, MY FAIR LADY, CHARADE, and even the minor thriller WAIT UNTIL DARK. Toshiro Mifune. Just check out his filmography. The great films are too many to list here. His dynamic inner force has made mediocre films rise to the level of genius.
Alan RickmanWilliam Powell
James Stewart
Timothy Spall
Catherine Keener
Julie Walters
Helen Mirren
Brenda Blethyn
Ray Winstone
Ben Kingsley
Ian McShane
Johnny Depp
Matt Damon
Cary Grant
Myrna Loy
John Wayne (most)
Lee Marvin (most)
Maureen O'Hara
Liev Schreiber
Pierce Brosnan
Ciarán Hinds
Phyllis Logan
Bill Paterson
Okay, those are the top ones that I can list off my head. If I catch their name or face in a trailer or cast list, you can bet I'm getting the movie from NetFlix or going to see it in the cinema.
Alex: I loved Wait Until Dark when I was a child, and now my daughter does, too. Even with our love of Hitchcock thrillers, this movie is still a great suspense film. Audrey Hepburn did an excellent job of acting as a blind woman. She could have taught our modern actors a thing or two.
Rob I am so pleased someone elts likes Vincen Price. He is one of my all time faves! When his movies were on you could not pull me away. Still love them.Also I enjoy
Jane Seymore
Nick Cage
Patrick Stewart
Carry Grant
That is interesting about the female actresses. Is it because they get so few leading roles? Add to my list, in the female category, Rosalind Russell, Bette Davis, Helen Mirren, Judy Dench, Laura Dern
Becca,You read my mind with William Powell. Some of the movies he was in were terrible, but he was always a wonderful character.
Of course, with Myrna Loy was the best. Some day we will have another doggy & it will be named 'Asta.'
Rob: How could I forget Vincent Price?! I spent many a Saturday afternoon in my childhood watching Vincent Price thrillers on TV.
Man! The Cult Classics topic made me remember my hunka hunka burning love: Bruce Campbell! Bubba Ho-tep!I started watching the TV program Burn Notice specifically because he is in it, and then I started liking the show based on its own merit.
Teri ..actor sounds "male" I suppose, I don't know. Laura Dern was perfect in Jurassic Park 1. Becca did you leave anyone?
Sarah..some of my favourites are:
Lindsay Lohan
Jennifer Aniston
Drew Barrymore............for now
Serena:I agree. My favorite William Powell movie is My Man Godfrey followed by The Thin Man movies. I watch the other ones, but not all of them are good. He's just so great to watch.
Nowsheen: LOL! I'm not sure that I did. Oh, wait! Gary Oldman is another. I'm sure there are more who are just not coming to mind at the moment.
Toni Colette I liked her performance in
"In Her Shoes"
"Emma"
I would really like to watch her in "Muriel's Wedding"
Hey Becca cool, I like a lot of them too! : )Wesley Snipes is awesome in Blade trinity and the Freefall movie.
I don't really go for Vin Diesel but I loved his movie "Pitch Black"
Nowsheen: Oh, I like Toni Colette a lot as well. I love indie/foreign films. Let me tell you something about Muriel's Wedding. I love this movie, but the first time I rented it I was definitely not in the mood to cry. I desperately wanted something to lift my spirits and make me laugh. There are definitely funny moments in the film, and a goodly amount of Abba music. However, it is not a comedy. It is a great film.
hmm I will be careful when I watch Muriel's Wedding, thanks for the warning Becca...All the Australian movies I have seen are kinda sad anyway.
Cate Blanchett is amazing.I'll watch Angela Bassett, Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks. I'm not really stuck on one person. I like lots of different people.
Have you seen Ryan Gosling in "Half Nelson?" Disturbing yet really thoughtful.I am a huge fan of Tristan Wilds--and the movie trailer for "Secret Life of Bees" is out and it looks compelling. I was not a fan of the book, but the actors involved with this project are amazing.
I'd probably see Wilds in just about anything--I know, he has raised some skepticism since he's involved with the new 90210 project . . . I'm keeping an open mind.
Just about any of the major actors who appeared on HBO series "The Wire" I will attempt to go out of my way to see in a movie: Idris Elba, Wendell Pierce, Lance Reddick, Andre Royo, Corey Parker Robinson . . . Anwon Glover, Clarke Peters, Clark Johnson and it goes on and on . . . Geeze, this cast is so deep, I hope Hollywood will find some good material for them!!
Right off the top of my head: Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Mario Van Peebles, Adrian Brody, Mark Wahlberg, Judy Dench, Audrey Hepburn, and Sanaa Lathan.
