You must watch a ton of movies. Great List. I could easily interchange some of these, especially Daniel Craig.
I don’t watch as many as I used to, I am more picky now... but there are a lot of really good actors and actresses. This is probably the best group of minority actors/actresses in major film ever. There are especially a lot of good Asian actresses and actors. Denzel is one of the 5 best in world but I have Denzel fatigue after 30 years.
Leo, Jack, Max von Sydow, Jimmy stewart, De Niro Kate Winslett, Naomi Watts, Ingrid Bergman, Uma, Scarlett Also, Brando Gary Oldman Daniel Day Lewis Bill Murray Peter Sellers James Cagney Denzel Sam Jackson Liam Jennifer Jason Leigh Hepburn Amy Adams Keaton Kate Blanchett Patricia Arquette
Gary Oldman (pick one) George C Scott (Patton) Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now) William Holden (Wild Bunch) Kurt Russell (Big Trouble in Little China or Tombstone or The Thing) Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca) Carey Grant (pick one) Bill Paxton Jimmy Stewart (pick one) Ian McKellan (Richard III) Matthew McC (Dazed and Confused) Sterling Hayden (Dr Strangelove) Jake Gyllinwhat (Zodiac or Nightcrawler) Daniel Day Lewis (Gangs of NY or Mohicans) Bill Murray and about 30 more Interesting that nobody has mentioned actresses yet
Mathew McConaughey Leonardo DiCaprio Tom Cruise Brad Pitt Cristian Bale Morgan Freeman Anthony Hopkins Charlize Theron Denzel Washington Ethan Hawke Chris Prett Getting Close to being on the list: Hugh Jackman Clive Owen Emma Stone Jennifer Lawrence Adam Driver Dombnall Gleeson Mads Mikkelson Diego Luna Bradley Cooper Jeff Goldblum Fell off the List: Will Smith Tom Hanks Harrison Ford Kevin Costner Johnny Depp
This is a tough list... so many great actors and actresses. I guess this would be my list of "gee, if they are in it, it is usually a good movie in large part due to their performance". Denzel Washington Tom Hanks John Cusack Jessica Chastain Emily Blunt To cheat I will add a next five: Viggo Mortenson Meryl Streep Kevin Costner Clint Eastwood Tom Cruise dang... Will Smith and Charlize Thieron. OK, 12.
I had some on my list.... My best actresses list would have... Meryl Streep Tilda Swinton Cate Blanchett Kate Winslet Helen Mirren Judi Dench Steph Curry Maggie Cheung Emma Stone Audrey Hepburn Brie Larson Michelle Yeoh Kathy Bates If I had to pick one.... Meryl Streep narrowly over Tilda Swinton.
