In no particular order:
Liam Neeson
[list][*]Love Actually
[*]Schindler's List[/list]
Liam's such a wonderful, versatile actor and it was hard pinning down just two of his movies that I really enjoyed. Love Actually was a great film with an excellent ensemble cast, but I managed to enjoy Liam's story just a little bit more than the rest. And Schindler's List was the one that made me fall in love with him and his acting, so that had to go up there as well.
Harrison Ford
[list][*]Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
[*]The Fugitive[/list]
I think I like Indy just a little bit better than Han Solo, which is why I chose The Last Crusade over The Empire Strikes Back. And I absolutely loved Harrison's performance as Dr. Kimble and his chemistry with Tommy Lee Jones.
Cary Elwes
[list][*]Robin Hood: Men in Tights
[*]The Princess Bride[/list]
Such a handsome, dashing actor is Mr. Elwes. Sure he's done serious, dramatic stuff, but he really shines when he's at his comedic best. These two movies really show him at the peak of his comedic and romantic ability.
Johnny Depp
[list][*]Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
[*]Benny and Joon[/list]
I don't think I really need to explain my first choice. 🙂 As for the second, there were a myriad number of films to choose from as Depp's done pretty much every genre under the sun and done them all very well. But I especially loved him in Benny and Joon, portraying a simple-minded but kind-hearted eccentric with a taste for Buster Keaton antics. That completely won me over.
Tom Hanks
[list][*]A League of Their Own
[*]Big[/list]
Another one of those versatile actors who make picking favorite movies quite difficult. In the end, I decided I liked his portrayal of irascible manager Jimmy Dugan and his quirky, effervescent role as the adult Josh Baskin the best.
Other actors/actresses that are definitely worth a mention are Mel Brooks, Jennifer Connelly, Matthew Broderick, Christian Bale, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Mariska Hargitay, Milla Jovovich, Robin Williams, Denzel Washington, and a whole lot more. But I've probably already said enough. 🙂
