Favorite Actors/Films - With a slight twist!

Started by SkinWalker2 pages

Halle Berry
-Swordfish
-Monster's Ball

She has fans, there are never many here, but I still love her. Sure people blame her for Catwoman and Storm, but it isn't all her fault. She doesn't have great movie choices, but when she gets a good one, she does it right.

Natalie Portman
-V for Vendetta
-Garden State

Defiantly one of the most talented young actresses of this age. She picks interesting and diverse choices, not just picking big blockbuster or american films.

Johnny Depp

Alec Guiness

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. 🙂

- Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas
- Ed Wood

He's easily the most versatile actor of all time. It's not often when an actor can take to so many different roles and still be as convincing no matter what he does.

Hahahaha, funniest thing I've read, or heard this year.

1.) Kevin Spacey - an absolute joy to watch, passionate about his work and I believe one of the most natural talents in modern cinema.

2.) Edward Norton - brilliant actor, I haven't ever seen him not hold a role and make it entirely his own.

3.) Jack Nicholson - a brilliant actor, he can make you empathise with his character one minute and fear them the next, seemingly effortlessly.

4.) Tom Hanks - the man has comedy and drama on lock.

5.) Robin Willams - another who can make you both laugh and cry, an incredibly funny man who can pull of some of the best dramatic scenes.

1. Shannen Doherty

Mallrats
Striking Poses

2. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Terminator 2
The Terminator

3. Michael Douglas

A Perfect Murder
Basic Instint lol
