Is Christian Bale the worst actor...

[PDXChris]

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I can't think of the last Leo movie that didn't bore the crap out of me. He hasn't had an entertaining film since Catch Me If You Can.

Edit: Obviously I am contradicting myself. Catch Me If You Can was the last entertaining film he was in.

Yes I know him and Damon made the Departed. Still the most disappointing movie considering it's cast that I have ever seen.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Actually I am wrong on Clooney. Depp is the best actor out there. It is easy to forget how incredible he is.

Oscar Nominations and wins:

Depp 3 Nominations 0 Wins
DiCaprio 3 Nominations 0 Wins
Damon 1 Nomination as actor, 0 wins as actor (1 win as writer)
Clooney 3 Nominations 1 win (1 nomination as director)
Stallone 1 Nomination
Day Lewis 4 Nominations 2 wins

Oscar wise, it is Daniel Day Lewis over Clooney by a hair.

THIS, I agree with. Depp is an amazing actor.

How do you like them apples?

Yes, he's a better writer than Leo.

Actor, not by a mile.

Hey, look, it's another self-important movie with a lead role for a slow-talking, camera-mugging Brit. Daniel Day-Lewis must be in it.

(Kidding. He's pretty awesome. Drove There Will Be Blood. But he's also in some fairly pretentious movies. Just once I'd love to see him in a rom-com with Sandra Bullock. Then I could take him a little more seriously).

(And he IS a camera-mugger. Chronic camera-mugger. Worse than Affleck.)

AGREE!

Stallone 1 Nomination

Correction: 2 nominations! Also ''Best Original Screenplay'' for Rocky!

But the real question is: Is Daniel Day-Lewis a worse actor than Sylvester Stallone?

I guess maybe TaraNRod has never seen Oscar, Judge Dredd, or Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. (AND every one of those are after his "superstar" roles of Rocky and his early films)

I even had to struggle to put Depp at 4. I don't like his acting style all that much.

I tend to agree with this statement for the most part.

That depends. DDL is an English-speaking actor. I'm sure Stallone is a great thespian in whatever language he actually speaks. Sometimes the translation isn't as dramatic when you force a non-native tongue on an actor.

Sorry man, but I saw those movies! Not great, of course, but those are not his only movies!

And the one who put Bale in his top, seriously, do not ever watch a movie again, do not ever make a movie review again and of course do not EVER make a top again!

Bale is SO awful!!!!

My top:

1- Hoffman
2- De Niro
3- Pacino
4- Stallone
5- Pesci
6- Brando
7- DiCaprio
8- Hanks
9- Hackman
10- Day-Lewis

Come on man. You have names like this and then Stallone? I know TaRaNRoD : Stallone ; Andrew : Shaq, but to place Stallone above a name like Brando. Get the hell outta here. Seriously.

Coming from a guy that thinks stallone is a top actor, this statement is hilarious.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

I like actors that make me believe they are the character they are portraying.

Like Gene Hackman (Royal Tennenbaum) , Dustin Hoffman (Captain Hook), ot Edward Norton (watch Smoochie and Fight Club, back to back, flippin' amazing)

Yet, I do enjoy actors that are a one trick pony, not saying they are good actors but I enjoy them, like:

Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp Robert DiNiro and Mel Gibson.


A tip of the hat to Leo DiCaprio (Catch Me if you Can is a great movie), Tom Hanks, and Anthony Hopkins who always are good on screen.

DC FTW

Stallone & Pesci in a top 10? A top 10 without Morgan Freeman or Jack Nicholson or Don Cheadle? Yikes.
Edit: No Denzel either?

 

[sundevilscott]

After watching The green Mile again last night I really realize how good of an actor Tom Hanks is. I also think that a very good underrated actor of today's generation is Sam Rockwell. I really do like him in most all of the movies he has been in.

Have you seen "box of moonlight?" It's an indy flick with he and John Turturro. Good stuff.

 

[TaRaNRoD]

Seriously, you don't know what it is to respecting each others opinions!

No, I don't put Washington in the top because I think he is a pretty bad actor!

Clint Eastwood is a god, and Nicholson too is a god, just not in my Top10!

And what the hell is wrong with Stallone or Pesci? It's not like if I've put Orlando Bloom, Steven Seagal, Christian Bale, Chuck Norris, Zac Efron, Joe Jonas, Nicholas Cage, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, The Rock, Jean-Claude Van Damme or Arnold Schwarzenegger in my top! Damn!
