Mark Vader Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Gene Hackman. Good call. Dennis Hopper get some love? Dennis Hopper? Really? Good actor, but not one of the best ever.
BuffaloBill Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 She was the cutest actress of her time, adorable really...then she destroyed herself with plastic surgery. Such a shame, same with Melanie Griffith. Amen to this... As to the point of the thread Actor: Pacino Actress: Merl Streep though Audrey Hepburn belongs on the list
TPS Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I'll add a Gary oldman as well. So much range. took 4 pages to get to this. I think dd Lewis ranks at the top, but oldman is similar. I'd throw Dustin Hoffman in with them as well. I think Michael Douglas, Russell Crowe, and Jeff bridges are excellent in everything they do, but not quite at the same level. Women...? That Sandra bullock is so darn cute!
Deranged Rhino Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 I like the idea an earlier poster (forget who, apologies but it was a good post) about making it more a question of who is on your Mt. Rushmore of actors rather than trying to winnow it down to only two. It's an impossible task, for me anyway, to figure out how to determine "best" in acting let alone pick an all time winner. That said, even Mt. Rushmore is difficult, but I'll give it a shot: Brando is my Washington Daniel Day Lewis is Lincoln (not just because he played him) Jack is my Teddy Roosevelt Newman would be Jefferson. For the ladies, same order: Hepburn Streep Winslet Dame Judy Dench
