One Man Banned Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Can't think of too many actors I would actively seek out just to see their performance. I've been surprised at some of the roles Gary Oldman has done, like I didn't know it was him until seeing the credits later but his character helped make the movie: Mason Verger Drexl Spivey Awesome scene altogether, but I love when he opens the envelope and he's got nothing. Of course 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Was going to post DDL for Gangs, think I enjoy that movie more than some of you. There Will Be Blood was ok but didn't do much for me. Also movies like Gangs of New York and Catch Me If You Can helped me appreciate Leonardo DiCaprio since I wasn't watching him in chick flick emo roles. Don't know if this is great acting or just great professionalism but I have to give credit that he doesn't flinch or skip a beat as he hurts himself for real but continues to flow through the scene as the blood flows from his hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Will give a nod to Leslie Nielsen. All that deadpan humor, sight gags, physical comedy, it's all kind of a lost art now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action was the only way to convey the story. On that note, I'm going to put down Jackie chan. I subjectively believe Operation Condor was his best work, choreographically wise.

Dark_Knight Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Brad Pitt is an obvious. Arguably the most accomplished actor there is. His catalogue is vast and diverse. With that being said, I still think he’s under appreciated for his impact on cinema. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought of him too when I was posting Oldman, related to the same movie True Romance. Actually that movie is a cast of now known characters who have played some pretty good roles.

One Man Banned Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I won't call Tom Hanks a favorite, but he's done so many movies and there's a bunch I've enjoyed. He's that actor that you grew up seeing and everyone has probably seen at least 3 of his movies. First movie I saw from him as a child was probably Splash, but Batchelor Party seems to stand out. Not sure how I saw that as a kid, lack of adult supervision. Dragnet. Favs are Green Mile and Catch Me If You Can. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
