I meant to TIVO it but forgot. I'll try to catch the first episode online and then see if it sticks.

Slater's obviously had some rough times since the mid 90s, but back in the late 80s/early 90s he was great!

I was an insane Heathers fan back in the day. Winona Ryder standing in the shower. :eek: Be still my beating heart!


Also, Ahhhhhnold isn't the greatest actor in the world, but y'all have to admit that for a good 10+ year stretch there, if he made a movie, you were going to go see it.

Dude. Worst actor ever.

:bow:

Years ago, when he started headlining movies, I started asking people, "How in the world did this guy ever get past his first audition, much less become a leading man ... a star." It made no sense. A little checking into whom he is related cleared it all up.

For you Seymour Hoffman marks check out this trailer to his new movie, Synecdoche, New York.

It's being directed by Charlie Kaufman (Screen writer of Eternal Sunshine - one of my favorites) in his directorial debut.

XIizh6nYnTU

It looks like a winner.

[Danny White]

I just watched Empire of the Sun for the first time (released in 1987) and it stars a 13 year old Christian Bale, who was absolutely fantastic in it.

Anyway, thought he deserves to be on the list:


Christian Bale

1) Batman Begins (Haven't seen Dark Knight yet, but I'm sure it merits mention here)
2) The Prestige
3) Empire of the Sun
4) Rescue Dawn
5) American Psycho

[masomenos]

J

Dustin Hoffman

1-Kramer vs Kramer
2-Tootsie
3-All the Presidents Men
4-RainMan
5-Meet the Fockers



Dustin Hoffman is a great pick. I wouldn't put Meet the Fockers as one of his 5 movies though. Finding Neverland, Straw Dogs, Stranger than Fiction, Midnight Cowboy, The Graduate, Death of a Salesman, the guy just has such a great body of work.

[DaBoys4Life]

1. Heath Ledger !!!!! Joker Batman role of a lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!1
2. Denzel Washington American Gangster

[Chief]

Tommy Lee Jones

[Sasquatch]

Daniel Day Lewis

1. The Last of the Mohicans
2. Gangs of New York
3. In the Name of the Father
4. The Boxer
5. There Will Be Blood



One of the finest actors of our generation without a doubt. Last of the Mohicans was dreadful, though, as was DDL's performance which seemed forced and contrived.

[Sasquatch]

1. Eastern Promises


The naked fight scene in the Turkish bath was something of a departure from his Aragorn days, wasn't it?

[Sasquatch]

I think that is such an underrated movie. So many great lines.

I got a loaded .45. you've got pimples.

It's a remake of an Italian movie which was better.

[tomson75]

One of the finest actors of our generation without a doubt. Last of the Mohicans was dreadful, though, as was DDL's performance which seemed forced and contrived.

Lmao...yeah, it certainly wasn't his best performance, but I still love that movie. Now that I think of it, the best parts of the movie were most definitely the dramatized action sequences void of any dialogue. The scene where Chingachcook kills Magua after Magua kills his son is unforgettable.

I would list my movies based on performance very differently. I went by personal favorites of of the top of my head.

[tomson75]

Another one I can't believe I forgot...I was first impressed by his talents after watching one of his standup routines of all things, but this guy is fantastic.

Jamie Foxx

...and paired with another of my favorites, this one looks like it has some potential.
