Pie™ Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Originally posted by InsaneSith it's not his fault he gets typecasted. People overcasted his gangster character. I liked him in Raging Bull and The King of Comedy. He does have the option to say no thanks though. But yeah, I guess most of his offers are ganster roles.
swphreak Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Robert De Niro is a great actor. I think he's good in all the movies of his I've seen. I especially like him in Meet the Parents. Sam Jackson is a good one too.
El Sitherino Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Originally posted by Pie™ He does have the option to say no thanks though. But yeah, I guess most of his offers are ganster roles. true, but he's gotta make money somehow and I'd say about 98% of his offers are for gangster roles.
KBell Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Originally posted by Spider AL Three? Is that the best you can do? I didn't think I'd need to add anymore, those are all considered some of the greatest movies of all time. It's no coincidence that Tom Hanks stars in them all.

Spider AL Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 those are all considered some of the greatest movies of all time. No, they're really not. Forrest Gump, one of the greatest movies of all time? Sheesh... That's some lack of taste.

Darklighter Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 People can have completely different opinions when it comes to films/music, since they're made for different purposes. How would you decide that one film was more worthy of the title "greatest film of all time" (or one of)? Originally posted by Spider AL Surely one judges an actor by the quality of his body of work. My opinion exactly. I also agree with your Sean Bean choice - seen him in Sharpe? He's brilliant And I'll remain annoyingly, Britishly patriotic and choose Ewan McGregor as well. I admit Johnny Depp is a fine actor, since he adapts himself to so many varied and often perculiar roles. After all, that's what acting is, becoming someone else. A great actor can't just play the same old crap over and over
ET Warrior Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 I'm with those who think Hanks is one of the greatest of all time. The man is absolutely brilliant, and if you say otherwise i'll punch you in your eye.
SeleneRayne Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Originally posted by Pie™ Yes. Yes he is, and I'm not afraid to admit it Oh yeah. He was great in Edward Scissorhands. I didn't know that Robert De Niro played Frankenstein's monster in the movie Frankenstein. That was shocking to see him in that.
Pie™ Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by SeleneRayne Oh yeah. He was great in Edward Scissorhands. That's one of my favorite movies. ever.
Astrotoy7 Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by Pie™ Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp Johnny Depp *is a fanboy* he he. Pie, why am I not surprised US/English actors/actresses(and standout roles IMO) Carey Grant - North by Northwest Jimmy Stewart - Vertigo Sir Laurence Olivier - Hamlet ...OMG f*kn awesomest Hamlet EVaR Ed Norton - primal fear Kenneth Brabagh - Henry V Kevin Spacey - Seven Billy Bob Thornton - Slingblade Cheech Marin Isabella Rosellini - Blue Velvet Gary Oldman - The Professional Dame Judy Dench - The best Lady Macbeth ever Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth Non English/US actors: Toshiro Mifune - Throne of Blood(Macbeth) Alain Delon - Le Samurai Catherine Deneuve - Belle de Jour Julie Delpy - Three Colours Trilogy thats all I can think of at 1 am.... plz note - Tom Hanks is not on my list. Though he does reasonable hollywood grade drama mtfbwya
Spider AL Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 My opinion exactly. I also agree with your Sean Bean choice - seen him in Sharpe? He's brilliantHave I? Why, they're some of my favourite dramas. And Bean, he's damn good. His measured, humanising performance made FotR the best of the Lord of the Rings trilogy IMO, and made Boromir a more sympathetic and admirable character than ever before... making his fate all the more poignant for that. And I saw him play Macbeth. Damn, he gave the play a whole new slant. Very talented actor. Both a lead, and a character actor. Ya know, just because you add a '' doesn't make that any less offensive. Yeah, it does. It means I was being self-effacing as well as giving my opinion. Smileys denote emotional accent, and make text less cold. I've found that many people simply can't understand when I'm joking unless I add a grinning smiley, for instance. Of course, as you've proven, there are people who still don't catch on. Yes, I'm sure your taste is vastly superior to everyone else's, and more important.Taste is a universal standard, surely. If you paint your bedroom green with purple-polka-dots and decorate it with posters of Wierd Al Yankovic, you may like it very much... but it can in NO way be called tasteful. Thus we see that there are things that simply are tasteful, and those that are not. And a movie in which a big hollywood star plays a mentally retarded individual and which makes fun of his slapstick, lucky antics throughout recent history, is NOT tasteful. That movie was Forrest Gump, and I found it patently offensive to nearly all my sensibilities. I'm with those who think Hanks is one of the greatest of all time. The man is absolutely brilliant, and if you say otherwise i'll punch you in your eye.I'll punch you back!
Sam Fisher Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Yea, Tom is a pretty good actor, but I really don't know how to rate them
