Tim Roth-- Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Planet of the Apes, The Hulk, bad guy in the first episode of Criminal Intent, a jillion others I haven't seen... I don't know how a 5'7" guy can pull off being such a good bad guy, but he does!

Mike, I agree about Meryl Streep. She had me at Kramer v Kramer.
Recent actors I enjoy: Amy Adams, Leonardo DiCaprio and Eddie Redmayne. If I forget who I'm watching, I think they're good. To that end, I am therefore not a fan of Al Pacino or Will Smith.
My favorite of all time may be young Robert DiNiro (anything Cape Fear or before).

Very much agreed...and speaking of the genre, I also really like Tom Selleck in westerns. Quigley Down Under was a standout and I liked the Monte Walsh remake as much or more than the original.Originally Posted by John T Barker

I can't believe nobody has mentioned my favorite... Steve McQueen.
The absolute image of "Cool". The Great Escape, Nevada Smith, Sand Pebbles, Bullitt and of course... The Magnificent Seven.
LeMans also, but that wasn't acting... that was him!
For Women, it's Meg Ryan. (The early, pre plastic surgery days). The best "girl next door", fun interesting and smart.

This will certainly date me but nobody's mentioned Henry Fonda, Burt Lancaster, Sophia Loren, Ann Margaret.
Best western of all time "The Magnificent Seven".

Are we all old, or are the movie stars just not as good as they used to be?
Contributor
Rich,it seems to me that there are just so many more actors now. Lot of competition. Some good ones just move on to other things. And some who have long successful careers never get to be "stars".

Mel, thanks goodness...... I wouldn't want to think of any of us Creekers as old men.

If you liked "The Magnificent Seven" take a look at "Seven Samurai" which is the movie that "The Magnificent Seven" is based on. Some of the scenes are essentially exact copies of scenes in "Seven Samurai". For example, the "fight" between the knife guy and the gunfighter.
"Seven Samurai" is an excellent movie - a classic. I highly recommend it.

[And "A Fistfull of Dollars" is a copy of the Japanese movie "Yojimbo". See the original.]

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
