Thread Name: BS: Greatest Actors, Harrison, Brad, MEL??!!
Subject: RE: BS: Greatest Actors, Harrison, Brad, MEL??!!
I find it surprising...very surprising...that NO ONE has mentioned the greatest actor of all time...

(hee! hee!)
Well...no, I guess I don't find it all that surprising...
But my vote for at least one of the greatest actors of all time is Daniel Day Lewis. The guy is amazing. Did you see him in "Gangs of New York"? Di Caprio was quite good in that one too, and he was superb in "Catch Me If You Can". Harrison Ford is usually very good. Clint Eastwood is very good at being himself...which is useful in the right movie. I always thought Burt Lancaster had a lot of class, and an incredible smile! Christopher Plummer is marvelous, no matter what part he plays.
Now...actresses. Well, Kathleen Turner was riveting in "Body Heat". Great movie. And I have a preference for Winona Ryder, but that's just me...I like her. I also like Sigourney Weaver.
Bogart and Bacall were the most memorable screen couple of all time. Wow. Talk about chemistry.
I think Cher has been consistently great as an actress, although her singing is a little odd at times.
Okay, gotta go to Toronto now. See ya later.
