| anoddoblivion | posted 18-Sep-2001 12:27am John Wayne. Female is a little harder. Lucille Ball was pretty darned good on that show of hers. Why John Wayne over, say, Harrison Ford? Harrison Ford is who he is because he got a lucky cast and the part happened to be perfect for him. This has happened to a few other people but he has been by far the best example of this with Indiana Jones. Why John Wayne over, say, Sean Connery? Sean Connery has had great multiple roles, but not near as many great roles as John Wayne still. Why John wayne over, say, Humphrey Bogart? He was good at playing a certain type of character and that's it. Granted, John wayne was a cowboy 90% of the time, but he did have other movies with totally different characters than cowboys, but he played them just as well. |
| Zang | posted 18-Sep-2001 12:44am I'm going to ignore your explanation and just go with my own preferences. Marcello Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. |
| darkshadowsseeker | posted 18-Sep-2001 1:32am My personal favorites are Kate Hepburn & Roddy McDowell. |
| mandy | posted 18-Sep-2001 2:17am Brad Pitt I could watch him.....knit |
| autumnlight | posted 18-Sep-2001 6:27am Nicholas Cage and Katie Holmes. I'll probably thnk of loads more in a minute. |
| Maarten | posted 18-Sep-2001 8:08am actor: Harvey Keitel actress: eehhmm.. I'll let you know... |
| juliw | posted 18-Sep-2001 10:28am Jack Lemmon was the best actor ever. For actress, probably Shirley Maclaine. |
| Oscar | posted 18-Sep-2001 11:50am To me, I think one of the best actresses is Julia Roberts. She's so diverse with her looks, performances, genres, etc. |
| Enheduanna | posted 18-Sep-2001 1:41pm Willem Dafoe Jodie Foster |
| Biggles | posted 18-Sep-2001 2:41pm My choice for best actor is my friend Jack. Second to him is John Vickery. Favourite actress? I can't remember her name! Helen something, I think....She was Anna in a recent adaption of Anna Karenina (sp?) and a lawyer in a recent series on UK tv (something Square?). Sheesh, my memory is going!!! |
| confetti | posted 18-Sep-2001 2:42pm Audrey Hepburn (dead) and Kate Hudson (living). Gregory Peck (dead) and Robert DeNiro (living). |
| Biggles | posted 18-Sep-2001 2:42pm A very close third favourite actor is Gary Oldman - I can't believe I forgot him!!! |
| kaleb777 | posted 18-Sep-2001 4:13pm Merryl Streep can act in anything. She successfully did an Aussie accent in "Evil Angels" which is hard for most Americans. She is believeable at all times. I can't think of a male actor who is as good. The antithesis would have to be John Wayne - he always played John Wayne in any movie. |
| kaleb777 | (reply to mandy) posted 18-Sep-2001 4:15pm You horny dog. |
| Jemmy | posted 18-Sep-2001 5:56pm Um...I really can't choose a best, but two favourites are Denzel Washington and Mary Tyler Moore. I love that show, and the Dick Van Dyke show. |

| icurok | (reply to Biggles) posted 19-Sep-2001 1:07pm Helen McCrory (the lawyer thing was called "North Square") |
| icurok | posted 19-Sep-2001 1:23pm It's so hard to pick just one. Actually, I like confetti's idea. Sir Alec Guinness (dead), Robert De Niro (alive) Bette Davis (dead), Dame Judi Dench (alive) |
| Biggles | (reply to icurok) posted 19-Sep-2001 2:00pm That's the one! |
| jkiehart | (reply to Enheduanna) posted 19-Sep-2001 10:36pm Willem Dafoe is creepy! I got my hair cut REALLY SHORT yesterday to be just like you! |
| Enheduanna | (reply to jkiehart) posted 19-Sep-2001 11:18pm I think he's awesome! Have you seen The Last Temptation of Christ? Or Boondock Saints? He's fudging brilliant. How short is really short? My hair's been growing out--it's a good three or four inches long now. |
| jkiehart | (reply to Enheduanna) posted 20-Sep-2001 3:31pm I never saw TLTOC, creepy, creepy, creepy. I was just telling confetti that MY Jesus is way more attractive. Around the back and sides, it's a little less than one inch, on the top it's about an inch and a half. I want it even SHORTER! Because, well, I'm lazy. |
| Cleo | posted 20-Sep-2001 3:36pm Nicholas Cage,Bruce Willis,John Travolta,Danny De Vito,Joe Pecchi,Keau Reeves,Mel Gibson & Mel Gibsons side kick.(can't remember his name) I kinda like Cher(shes getting better) Sophia Loren,Veronica Lake,The chick that payed in "16 Candles",& the chick who played in "War Games."Memory escapse me right now. |

| icurok | (reply to Cleo) posted 21-Sep-2001 8:29pm Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy i think. |
| Cleo | (reply to icurok) posted 21-Sep-2001 9:40pm Yep,those are the ones.Thank you icurok. |

| ASB | (reply to jkiehart) posted 23-Sep-2001 9:54am I'm sorry |
| ASB | (reply to SueBee) posted 23-Sep-2001 9:55am we could all write them a letter saying we will never subscribe |
| SueBee | (reply to ASB) posted 23-Sep-2001 9:58pm Yeah! That'd teach 'em! |
| nasale | posted 30-Sep-2001 2:11pm Oh Gawd! I've been waiting to say this! Al Pacino is the greatest bestest actor on this side of heaven! I love 'Scent Of A Woman.' I love Katherine Hepburn too What a class act! Meryl Steep is really good too. I really like Out of Africa. |
| Matt | (reply to nasale) posted 3-Oct-2001 1:10am I love that movie, Scent of a Woman is one of my favorite movies. |
