    Good Actors and Actresses

    This is a spin-off from the "Recommended movies" thread, where actors and actresses were obviously mentioned also.

    I'll start, and nail my colours to the mast immediately -

    Best actor - Dustin Hoffman. His best performance - Lenny

    Best actress - Gong Li. Her best performance - Raise the Red Lantern

    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    can i ask a question?
    is this forum a front for "the denzel washington appreciation society".
    he's a farily average actor ,in my opinion and the last film i seen him in,american gangster he was not very believable.
    sorry.

    de niro,brando,day lewis,norton are all fine actors
    pointy chinned reece witherspoon was amazing in "walk the line"

    I was always a big fan of Peter Cushing. I'm not sure how many of his movies have him wringing his hands while delivering some variation on "I must continue my important work" or "I must continue the research" ...but I'd wager it's more than a few.
    " I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"

    In no particular order - solid actors, not necessarily movie stars.

    Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day-Lewis, Russell Crowe

    Cate Blanchett (best female actor), Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Susan Sarandon (token non-aussie)

    If you at some former nominees & even winners of the Oscars you would be surprised how many poor actors on the list.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.
