Title: 10 Best Actors
Post by: The Burgomaster on April 29, 2011, 11:01:03 AM
Yeah . . . I'm sure we've been down this path before, but I'm about as original as Hollywood these days.  Here's my list (subject to change of course).  Someone else can start a 10 Best Actress discussion . . . I don't have the ambition.

In no particular order:

* Dustin Hoffman
* Paul Newman
* Spencer Tracy
* Marlon Brando
* Robert DeNiro
* James Stewart
* Al Pacino
* Jack Nicholson
* Charles Laughton
* Gene Hackman

Jack Lemmon

And for this, sir, I salute you.  A very talented actor who is often overlooked.  His performances in THE DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES and THE APARTMENT (among many other movies) are top notch.
