Unfortunately, there is a serious gap in my "education" - I don't know most of the "famous" modern actors... And I have never seen any movie with John Wayne....
Last year I became absolutely disappointed with American movies. I only watched Episode 2 and "Two Towers", mostly with educational purposes. I try to watch European films, mostly French, but some new French movies, especially comedies are almost as bad as American

No offences, please, it's just my personal opinion, but I don't like endless horror films or stupid farting humour of Jim Carrey comedies...
Watched "Fanfan la tulipe" - 2003 this week. Liked it very much. Good remake of 1956 film. Some "new" scenes are really funny.
Last "big" Russian movie I saw was "Zvezda" ("Star"), another "remake", if you can call it this way, probably the best action war movie ever made.
