Mine changes all the time, but at the moment its gotta be Daniel Day-Lewis and Laura Dern (for Inland Empire alone).

Like I say its a bit of a flavour of the month thing. There are others, such as Al Pacino, that I think are immense but I have to go with whats going on lately.

Good shout on Christian Bale, top top actor. Done some stonking films, The Machinist, Batman and Equilibrium are all superb.

On current i would have to agree, or Ledger.
The one actor that get's me is Daniel Day Lewis. he is almost a recluse when it comes to film making ,one every so many years but when he does he usually up for so many awards and guarenteed a powerful performance.
A remarkable talent.

May be a bit obvious,but Jonny Depp hardy ever makes a bad film.Even if the film isn't all that hot,his performance is usually above board.

I'd go for Maggie Gyllenhaal for actress,even though she was in Stranger Than Fiction,which was terrible and I'll here no more about it.

Best Bale movie "American Psycho". Just awesome in that.

thats got to be one of the worst films i have ever seen.

[Mozzaretti]

thats got to be one of the worst films i have ever seen.

if the film had gotten anywhere close to the book it would have never got a certificate...

I always thought Bale was a strange choice as Pat Bateman, he didn't seem anything like I had imagined him when I first read the book

[jozza800]

all time bloke - Harrison Ford
all time lady - Elizabeth Shue

Current fella - Ryan Reynolds
Current lady - Maggie Gyllenhaal

I always thought Bale was a strange choice as Pat Bateman, he didn't seem anything like I had imagined him when I first read the bookThat's the problem when people judge films by the book.
Bale performance as a Psycho on the brink of complete melt down is mesmerising and also very funny.
But like Mozzaretti said if they became to faithful to the book it would never of been released.
One of the best books I have ever read based on a film is "Fright Night", the book was fucking awesome.
But you could also compare "The Two Towers", that was written in two parts,but Jackson had to turn that into one film which he did amazingly well considering that section of Lord of the Rings was one of the main reasons why the film has taken so long to be made as a lot of people describe "The Lords of the Rings" the unfilmable book.

[Rafas Benitles]

Actor - Morgan Freeman

Actress - Neve Campbell...her acting is pretty bad I know, but Wild Things (which deserves to be on another thread by the way) is good :)

I've seen Apocalypse Now,just forgot.

Never seen any of the Godfather films though.Don't really like mob films.

[istanbully bob]

Actor-all time: Robert De Niro (legend)
current: Samuel L Jackson (too cool for skool)

Actress-all time: Glenda Jackson (born in liverpool too, I believe)
current : Charlize Theron (monster;top film)
or El Hadji Diouf (superbitch)

[RedRich]

Fair enough, but you're missing something special in the first two. The third is worth a watch just for Pacino's acting.

So does that mean you've never watched Donnie Brasco, Goodfellas or Married To the Mob?





That last one may or may not have been a joke.

[ohdear]

I've seen Donnie Brasco and Married To the Mob.

Guess which one I prefered.
