Who is your hero in film?

[Crim122]

Who do you view as the most important person(s) in the history of film to you?

Charlie Chaplin, to me I feel he is the heart and soul of film making he did so much and was a GENIUS

Bruce Lee, I strive to get my body to look like his, he was such an amazing person and all of his movies are classic...I wonder how Kung Fu films would be today if he were still around.

Daniel Day Lewis, in my honest opinion he is the greatest actor alive right now and one of the greatest of all time. He takes acting to the level that many do not and he blows it away each time, in his films he makes the movie what it is.

Al Pacino, my favorite actor...though he has been in some crap lately. But most of his old stuff is amazing and he just shines on the screen.

Martin Scorsese, favorite director about everything he has done is gold and he continues to release classics...one of the best!

modern day i would have to say tom hanks! the guy is amazing and can play in just about any role imaginable! Unlike some actors who can only portray a certain character, hanks can play any character and be stunning while doing it!

Yeah Hanks is a phenomenal actor, I enjoy him in about everything he does.

I will "vote" for Alfred Hitchcock.

[Blu-Ron]

Walt Disney

Could you imagine a world without him?

Very scary to even trying to imagine such a world

I'm going to say P.T. Anderson.

He is the most daring director in Hollywood right now. (IMHO)

[Blu Angel]

Christopher Nolan..not just because of the "Dark Knight", but ever since "Memento", then "Batman Begins", and "the Prestige" , this guy is a Hero.

[jadedeath]

Bruce Campbell.

Sam Raimi.

Morgan Freeman.

Even some lesser known local talent like Dave Francis, Jonathan Wright etc.

Logan

I'm impressed with all your answers. But since it was brought up about how Tom Hanks can play any role I must ask.... What about Sean Penn?? Anyone who saw Fast Times.. Would automatically assume this guy was actually a surfer. But then comes Bad Boys, Colors, We're No Angels, and then Mystic River ... i was impressed there too

[Blu Man]

Chris Nolan ,Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Steven Speilburg, Christian Bale, etc............................................... .................

True, as far as creator and producers go he would have to be the best.

My favorite director is Stanley Kubrick because of the unusual approach he takes in creating his films, even though most of them are based on the literary works of others.

I would also have to say Peter Jackson, because I don't think The Lord of the Rings movies would have been the same with someone else behind the camera.

+1 on Alfred Hitchcock he did a lot of great work.

[J_UNTITLED]

Don't have one in film nor in reality.

Jack Nicholson is a legend to me. His role in The Departed was brilliant plus he has done so many other classic in his life. For a director, I guess it would have to be George Lucas, I know the prequels weren't great (third was excellent though) but he has done so much for film-making in general plus I couldn't imagine a world without Star Wars. The original three influenced me a lot in my childhood.
