Duvall....there's a guy with an incredible range. Did you know one of his first roles was a bit part in Bullitt...he was the cab driver. Lee marvin is another fav. He served as a marine grunt in WWII and was the sole survivor of a skirmish between his outfit and some Japanese soldiers. Both sides wiped each other out, except him. He did a western called The Professionals that I really like, and Hell in the Pacific was another favorite, and a comedy called Pocket Money with Paul Newman, I think.The Kid:
I like Mel Gibson too, Man theres so many, Sidney Portier, Harvey Kietel, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, Robert Duvall,JDH:
Brando did a good job as Fletcher Christian, but I think Mel Gibson did a better job, and as for Col Whackjob in Apocolypse Now, I think De Niro or Christopher Walken could have done much better than Brando did with that role. I'm with you on some of the earlier era actors. Greggory Peck was a first class human being and a very fine actor, and Bogart...I think I have most of his movies on DVD. Don't know how many times I've watched Casablanca and The African Queen, but I don't get tired of themThe Kid:
I really liked him in as Lt Christian (Mutiny on the Bounty) also how bout Apocolypse Now? But I like the oldermovies with guys Like Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Errol Flynn,, New actors I like Depp, Pitt, PennJDH:
I really agree with Morgan Freeman and Tarantino, but I really don't get all the hoopla over Brando. He was great - make that perfect - as Stanley Kowalski in Streetcar, and as Don Corleone, but other than that.......what? I've always thought George C. Scott was 10 times better, with a much wider range than Brando - but that's just me.kuzi16:best:
1) Marlon Brando
2) Al Pacino
3) Morgan Freeman
honorable mention to Jack Nicholson
worst:
1) Rob Schneider
2) Tommy Wiseau
3) Quentin Tarantino (not just a bad director (sorry all you Tarantino fans out there, he hasnt been good since Pulp Fiction))
Lee Marvin endless list really. Probably one of the best Villian performances for me is Rutger Hauer in original The Hitcher. -
Duvall, of course, how'd we miss Duvall? duh

There's a lot of great actors obviously. Duval deserves consideration. I'm also impressed with the range of Jude Law. Denzel Washington also How can you compare Charlton Heston and Johnny Depp. Tough. All time?

Another actor that I like but just doesn't get enough chances to show his potential... Edward Norton Not the Honeymooner guy, the one from American History X, 25th Hour. the Illusionist, Fight Club, Rounders, People vs Larry Flynt, Primal Fear.

Absolutely. That's why I put him on my list before, the change he does in Primal Fear, I totally believed the poor dumb kid thing, then the switch. Brilliant. Also, there's an alternate ending to American History X. Not a pretty one, but different.kaspera79:Another actor that I like but just doesn't get enough chances to show his potential...
