Brando is the best at his best, but the worst at his worst.

Unless we’re talking consistency here?

I'm talking about everything.
Who's best at his peak, who's most consistent, who has deepest range...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Who's best at his peak, who's most consistent, who has deepest range...

Lewis, Lewis, Lewis

Oldman and Hackman too.

Lewis, Lewis, Lewis

Oldman and Hackman too.

Day Lewis and consistency?? WOW,just WOW...

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Day Lewis and consistency?? WOW,just WOW...

You said consistency...not quantity.

He's never bad, so he's consistent. Can't say the same about the other actors.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

De Niro.

Close thread.

 

[EVILFACE]

James Franco playing all of them.

 

[Chakor]

Bill Nighy not on the list anywhere? I'm disappointed.

 

[ishothimsixtimes]

De Niro.

Close thread.

If he'd have closed the curtain on his career 23 years ago, maybe.

Best actor : Daniel Day
Most Fun to watch: Gary Oldman
Most iconic Role: Marlon Brando
Plays the same guy over and over very well. Pacino and Dinero

The rest are just decent actors...

I’m not a huge fan of Daniel day Lewis. He certainly is a chameleon and really changes for every part, but I never feel like he’s... how do I say this.. truly ‘alive’ or living within the circumstances of the film. It’s like he’s perfected pretending to be there. But he never makes me feel anything, not menace, not sorrow, not joy, etc.

I agree with xipo on Pacino and De Niro, they’re always the same guy - but they’re still amazing actors, as of the late 90’s anyway. Nicholson falls in this category too, even more so than the other 2 on just playing himself. Still amazing though.

Gary Oldman is a hoot, whatever he’s in. Hopkins too.

Brando brings life that no other can match when he’s at his best. But he’s highly inconsistent.

The others are fine actors, but they don’t belong on a greatest list according to me.

Clint Eastwood does his one note better than anybody.

Wut, no Geoffrey Rush?

OK. De Niro then.

*Lud are you doing a yin thread?

 

[RIDDICK]

Vote option sucks.

Peter Sellers
Peter O'Toole
Ben Kingsley
Ralph Fiennes

Eastwood was robbed of best actor for Unforgiven, the year the academy gave it to Pacino for trotting out pearlers like "T*ts. Hoo-ha!".

 

[fosing]

that list lacks women...and fake orgasms.

It's the rules. You can't win Best Actor over another guy playing a disabled role.

Speaking of Oscar robberies, wut, no Russell Crowe?

For me it was between Hopkins and Oldman but Hopkins won out.
