I last watched that on the plane out of China. The bandits' reaction to the gold was totally unexpected.

I'm sure old movies feel the same way about you, doll face.

[SUXBNME 1,458]

Past : Val Kilmer (ok...not so much in the past..Started in 84)  I'll go with past for Paul Newman. 

Present and sorta past:  Denzel, Pitt and Hanks

Tom Cruise

[wiffleball 4,788]

Well,  there's only ever been one bad Robert Duvall movie period so I'm gonna go with him.

 

At present, I think probably the finest working actor out there of the new generation is Jason gordon-levitt.

[Mike Honcho 5,141]

Mickey Mouse/Mickey Mouse

Not once he tried to be funny. 

[Ultra Max Power 214]

Costner

[Engorgeous George 2,165]

Past:  Henry Fonda over Bogart and Stewart.  This will become more difficult when Deniro and Duvall stop making movies and move into this category.

 

Present:  Norton barely over Denzell and Cheadle

[zsasz 362]

Jimmy Caan & Leo DiCaprio

Duvall had a crap a$$ one a few years back called Mexico something. Poor script and think he just wanted work.

I think that might have been the movie where he was trying to support his daughter-in-law. But that's a distant memory. As far as I'm concerned, Duvall's one bad movie was

good list.

 

after watching Val, i had a new respect for him.  found him pretty cheesy for most of his roles, but his training and devotion are very admirable. very hard to not like the guy now.

[wiffleball 4,788]

I'm glad Val Kilmer's career is coming back. Just saw that he's going to be in a remake live action of my little pony.

 

 

Which makes sense. Because for the last few years he's been a little horse.

its funny, if you just watch like Top Secret and Real Genius, you would have never expected him to become the actor he did, but I loved him then as well

Tombstone (obviously) and Felon are my two favorite roles he ever played

Jimmy Stewart and Bogart for past. I will never get tired of watching Casablanca, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,  or Rear Window.

Current: Ryan Gosling. Johnny Depp up until the last few years.

[crackattack 520]

Gene Wilder and Daniel Day Lewis 

 

Tom Hardy would be up there too.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,324]

Michael Caine covers the most, I believe.  

[BuckSwope 654]

Jimmy Stewart and Daniel Day-Lewis 

If it's odds I'd really like the movies they were in, then Jimmy Stewart and Tom Cruise.
