So was that a rule? Did u states if we havnt seen each and every actor then we shouldnt vote? Stop it man! It would be diff if I said Denzel was better than Stewart or guys that I havnt seen but I didnt! And trust me not everyone has seen each and everyone of these actors, especially not all of their work! Yall need to get over yall selves really!! Got Em!!

Russell Crowe was mentioned twice in the poll. So I don't know which one to choose.

I just think maybe you shouldnt limit yourselves in your movie options, go watch a movie made before 1980, most of the best acting performances took place before then and most of the best actors were around then doing their best work, dont limit yourself, and have a narrow mind

Why are u people worried about what I watch?? It has no barring on what u like or watch! I was born in the 70's. I dont watch old movies, because I usually cant get into them. Sorry just being real. Their may be great movies and great actors back then but there are also great movies & great actors now as well. If u didnt want people voting for Denzel then maybe u shouldnt have listed him. U want a poll for what people think or some poll to go your way and what u think?? Think about that! Got Em!!

I only inlcuded Denzel as stated before, because I didnt want people getting their panties in a bunch over him not being on the list, and just curious why cant you get into older movies? No Multi-Million dollar CGI?

Oh, cool, thanks. I knew when you make polls there's an option to make them public, but I never knew how to see who voted for who.

No its just that you seem to love film and people are trying to give you advice on films you should see. Why not give Blade Runner a netflix? Or Casablanca? Night of the Hunter? What about some foreign film? If you think films like Transformers or G.I. Joe are the end all be all then you are missing alot. So what you were born in the 70's and I was born in the 60's, what does that have to do with anything?

JRS03 · 10-26-2009, 12:40 AM

Have to agree with Elvis and some of the others...Brando is the only clear choice.

Thats what I was thinking, but yet Denzel has more votes???

Sixx · 10-26-2009, 12:50 AM

Wow...Denzel is a pretty good actor but of the list, doesn't even make the top ten IMO. I can't believe Cage is on this list

naturephoto1 · 10-26-2009, 12:52 AM

Brando would have been my 2nd choice, but I voted for and still believe that Laurence Olivier is the best and I would say had the greatest range from Shakespeare to basically anything else both on-stage and on-screen.
