what are the 50 greatest actors?
« on: March 21, 2005, 01:11:47 PM »
Premiere Magazine says the below list is "it" the local paper has a article saying people are bashing the list and there are some mistakes...

it's not bad, but IMHO:

Jack Nicholson belongs higher
Tom Cruise belongs a bit lower

and a few other slight modifications.

what you think?

That has to be based on a popularity contest more than anything...I hardly agreed with positions on the list at all.

My initial Answer to the question when I read the title of the thread was: "Cary Grant, and 49 random people"

I was right :p

Keep in mind, they seem to be talking about "movie stars" not "talented actors"

You said actors in your title, the poll is about STARS.  Tom Cruise may not be a good actor, but he is a big star.

along that line of thinking Harrison Ford should be #1 #2 and #3

he's the biggest grossing actor in history, by over 3 fold.

the movies he has been in have made more for hollywood than anything... in fact i may be mistaken, but there was a statistic  one time about adding his movies up, then add all other movies for 20 years, and he was still in the lead some insaine number
