People should not that this says "favorite" and NOT "best," so I think criticism should be kept to a minimum. We know Czar is going have Denzel #1 and while most don't believe he is the best ever, it is perfectly legit for "favorite." That being said, I'm going to try to be objective.

yeah i will be looking fwd to that as well... will need to watch glory and schindlers list by then!!

Absolutely....there will need to be some rules in place of what an actual war movie is. I don't think we should see films like Braveheart or The Last Samurai on there, and maybe not even Schindler's List. Does it take place during the war? Of course, but is it really a war movie? Debatable, in my mind. Sorry, that was off-topic!

I agree Schinder's List isnt a war film! Got Em!!

Q? · 12-13-2009, 07:42 PM

If there never was a WWII there never would be a Schindlers List...

Sadly I think I will sit this one out. Makes me shudder to see the final results.

glad to see Haley Joel on someones list.. he was great and i miss him... didnt realize that until i watched pay it forward for the the first time in years the other night

Petey2133 · 12-29-2009, 05:38 PM

After looking at the lists, i feel as if brad pitt is not high enough, nor is ed norton.

The big surprise is that will smith is not popular. I understand he doesnt always do the biggest films, but his acting skills non the less are AMAZING.

I mean, he had to do a solo act in I am Lengend where for 2 hours he had to show about 1000 different emotions, expressions, and talents that he possesses.

nice thread, wish there was a longer time frame, i would have liked to play too.
