Anthony Hopkins

Sean Penn probably.

Thought Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs could be the best performance I've seen

[DMC]

Morgan Freeman

Never once thought MF could act. He's the same guy in every film.

[Reck]

Exactly.

I dont know why this guy gets so much praise. He's a good actor for sure but he really is of the generic variety.

[CuckingFunt]

Tom Hardy is my easy answer if we're talking current gen.

If we're talking all time or looking at individual genres, no way I can answer with just one name.

This Means War :lmao I'm sure he made some good dosh but what an atrocious film, other films he has been in have been good but I couldn't say he is anywhere near the best actor of current generation. I actually think Ryan Gosling or Joseph Gordon Levitt are the best in that 30s age group

[Technique]

Used to be Edward Norton from American History X, Fight Club, The Score to Red Dragon. But, since then he hasn't put his stamp on any meaningful movies.

At the moment it's Leonardo DiCaprio, he just doesn't stop with movies that make you think while being simply thrilling. Actor of the decade in my opinion, if there's such a thing.

Yeah Leo has had some amazing roles to say the least. Has to be the best of recent times

[timtonymanu]

Joseph Gordon Levitt (really liked his performance in 50/50)

[AussieFanKurt]

Joseph Gordon Levitt (really liked his performance in 50/50)

Good pick, he has had numerous well above average performances tbh

Although I wasnt a fan of DKR he was good, Mysterious Skin, 50/50 - the list goes on. He is a sure thing to be at least above average

[CuckingFunt]

This Means War :lmao I'm sure he made some good dosh but what an atrocious film, other films he has been in have been good but I couldn't say he is anywhere near the best actor of current generation. I actually think Ryan Gosling or Joseph Gordon Levitt are the best in that 30s age group

This Means War is horrible, but he's not particularly horrible in it. It's also not the worst movie he's ever been in. His first acting job was in the Star Trek movie so bad it eventually inspired the reboot, and there were several years where he was clearly taking any job he can get. In what I've watched, though, he pretty consistently does the best he can with shitty material in those bad films, which is always the sign of a good actor.

But when he does get good stuff to work with, he's flat out amazing. In many different styles.

Yeah I don't mind him. You make fair points and I can't disagree with you as it's your opinion, there's just a couple around his age group I prefer. As one person mentioned Leo DiCaprio is probably the one that takes the cake

Read the title then your post. :lol

IMO Ryan Gosling only good movie so far has been Drive.

I'm with you. Although he hasn't had great roles in recent years, Edward Norton is one of my favorites, definitely top 3, along with Leo.

Lulz. I wonder if anybody actually understood your initials. Tha posts following suggest otherwise.

Blue Valentine, Half Nelson, Lars and The Real Girl, and Crazy, Stupid, Love are all good.

Holy shizz, Xscape?!

[CuckingFunt]

Lars and The Real Girl

One of these days I need to give that movie another shot. I saw it right when it came out due to good reviews, but that happened to be shortly after a simultaneous big life change, big move, and big breakup. The story of a guy that profoundly lonely hit a little too close to home, I think, to the point I watched a completely different movie than everyone else seems to have. I really, really disliked it.

[Latarian Milton]

i think it'd be much easier to name your favorite movie character rather than actor, since even the best actors have made shitty films more or less. stallone in the rambo series is my all-time favorite tbh dude is such a cold-blood muthafucka

[Reck]

VZMEJ4v2flI

Damn you really went way back with this one. lol


Blue Valentine, Half Nelson, Lars and The Real Girl, and Crazy, Stupid, Love are all good.

I've not seen those.

I have mainly seem him where he wasn't the lead role before Drive.

I saw All Good things and I thought that one was alright.

He has alot of romance related movies and that is what has put me off on watching his other stuff.

[Koolaid_Man]

Janet Mason...

Personal Bio:


Lots and lots of hot, explicit photos of me indulging in my favorite carnal activities! Interracial sex with dark, well-hung black studs. The "older woman/younger" man kink, with me introducing cute, hunky college-age guys to the pleasures of sex with an older, more experienced woman. Foot, leg shoe and hosiery fetishism, with me showing off my sexy, perfectly-pedicured, high arched size 4 1/2 feet and indulging my male "foot fans" in their deepest fantasies. Blow jobs...Tit-Fucking...Anal Sex...Handjobs...Cum-Eating...Facials...Threesomes and "Moresomes"...Lingerie ...Bikinis...Glamour Nudes...Outdoor Flashing...you name it! And in the members-only Photo Archives section, you'll find all the hot layouts from my previous photo updates, too, so that you'll never miss an update!

Then watch his good movies, then. Three of the ones I listed were Romance, but they are good.

If not Janet then I'd go with Steven Seagal

I think it's easier to name your favorite actor simply because there are less of them (the really good ones anyway). I don't know where I would even begin thinking about my favorite character, there are way too many awesome characters and many movies with several good ones. I would even have trouble naming my top 10 favorite characters. Actors on the other hand are limited as they appear in tons of movies.

[desflood]

David O'Hara. There are two or three others who tie for close seconds, but since we're not allowed to make a list...

[TE]

:tu

[Capt Bringdown]

Dustin Hoffman - I think there's a case to be made for him as the best actor of his generation. Compared to DeNiro, for example, I think Hoffman showed greater range, especially in his earlier roles:
The Graduate
Little Big Man
Midnight Cowboy
Straight Time
Straw Dogs
Papillion
Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?

[DesignatedT]

Tom Hanks

[howbouthemspurs]

Leonardo Dicaprio
I think he is really underrated! I think he got robbed at the Oscars a couple of times! The Aviator wasn't the greatest movie but his performance was just mesmerizing!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Brad Pitt

[mrose31]

Gary Oldman

Good and Bad movies but his characters are always awesome and different. He does not play the same guy in every movie.

[The Batman]

Jeff Goldblum.

[Blake]

Anthony Hopkins

His Oscar worthy performance as Thor's daddeh was riveting

[Avante]

Paul Newman

Cool Hand Luke as good s it gets.

[cantthinkofanything]

Chris Cooper...he deserves some props

[xmas1997]

Gary Oldman, Tom Hanks, or Johnny Depp.

[spurraider21]

Nic cage because I'm a sucker for those action movies that are so bad that they're good, like Con Air

[MarioSpeedwagon]

Arnold.

[Franklin]

does it include actresses? If yes then the choice is easy for me, tbh.

[Blizzardwizard]

Christopher Waltz

[Wild Cobra]

Without much thought, Gene Hackman comes to mind.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Matthew McConaughey
Nick Cage

[desflood]

Chris Cooper...he deserves some props
August: Osage County was fanfuckingtastic.

I'll watch anything with Mark Ruffalo, even if I know it's going to be terrible, because he's got talent.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Without much thought, Gene Hackman comes to mind.

We appreciate you trying as hard as you can.

[KarmaKarma]

leo dicaprio. :toast

[ploto]

Gary Oldman

Good choice :clap

[Wild Cobra]

Even the silly ones like The Sorcerer's Apprentice are great.

[spurraider21]

Even the silly ones like The Sorcerer's Apprentice are great.
i never saw that. i stopped following nic cage after i saw national treasure 2 :lol.

my favorites of his are The Rock, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds, Face/Off off the top of my head. i also liked the first national treasure, lord of war. ghost rider was kinda bad, but i was still enjoying myself by laughing at cage at that point. family man is a solid comedy too, not usually his style though

[xmas1997]

Gary Oldman

Good and Bad movies but his characters are always awesome and different. He does not play the same guy in every movie.

I agree.
The same could be said about Johnny Depp IMHO.

[CavsSuperFan]

Lee Marvin
Gene Hackman

[cantthinkofanything]

I agree.
The same could be said about Johnny Depp IMHO.

:downspin:

[mrsmaalox]

Probably Kevin Spacey

[xmas1997]

No one mentioned Robert Duvall.

[TheyCallMePro]

Dicaprio
