Title: 10 actors you are always glad to see Post by: Allhallowsday on December 03, 2013, 09:11:31 PM Here are ten actors, obviously all from the old school, that I am always interested in looking at. I know there are others, but I went for a right-outta-my-ass list of those that came to mind, all of whom I think are so great they rise above sometimes lousy material:
CLAUDE RAINS ERROL FLYNN CLARK GABLE BARBARA STANWYCK WILLIAM POWELL EDWARD G. ROBINSON JAMES CAGNEY BETTE DAVIS VIVIEN LEIGH JOAN CRAWFORD Title: Re: 10 actors you are always glad to see Post by: claws on December 04, 2013, 03:27:00 AM Liam Neeson

Jackie Chan Bruce Lee Clint Eastwood Linnea Quigley (because I know nudity is coming :smile:) Barbara Steele Mamie van Doren Warren Oates Orson Welles John Cleese Off the top of my head. I could probably come up with ten more who are equally charismatic but this is a decent start. I could make a good list out of only actors who already appear on others' lists: Vincent Price Peter Lorre Klaus Kinski Steve Buscemi Toshiro Mifune Peter Sellers John Cusak Christoph Walz Bette Davis Edward G.

Some actors come across like old friends, or old acquaintances you admire but may not like, or... family.
I'm going to try for 10 more, meaning I'm going to stop and watch if I can and hate it if I can't: FREDRIC MARCH KIM NOVAK STEVE McQUEEN WALTER MATTHAU MARCELLO MASTROIANNI JOHN WAYNE VICTOR MATURE FINLAY CURRIE CLAIRE TREVOR ALAN MOWBRAY That was easy!

Gary Oldman Daniel Day Lewis Christoph Waltz Ray Liotta Christopher Walken Steve Buscemi Phillip Seymour Hoffman John Cusack Denzel Washington. Title: Re: 10 actors you are always glad to see Post by: SynapticBoomstick on December 14, 2013, 07:16:02 AM I'm both relatively young and bad with names; when I watch a movie, unless I know who the actor is, I just see them as the character they're playing. So I won't know many huge names of today or yesteryear but I do have a small pool of actors and actresses that will always get me to buy a ticket and enjoy the show.
In the order names come to me: 1. Liam Neeson - I'll never know why people, and wolves, keep messing with him, but as long as they do so I'll continue to watch. :thumbup: 2. Ron Pearlman - I like to believe that getting drunk with Ron would be awesome, he's always the highlight of whatever he's in. 3. Christian Bale - I just saw Out of the Furnace. That's about all you need to hear. He takes every role I've seen him in and totally owns it. 4. Creature Actors - Anybody know Doug Jones? Guys like him, they all share this one for me. :cheers: 5. Arron Eckhart - I watched The Core the other day and had forgotten he was in it. Made my day. 6. Sandra Bullock - When your first impression comes from Demolition Man, that sticks with you. :bouncegiggle: 7. Michelle Rodriguez - Much of the roles I've seen her in are the tough military type, which just make her all the more attractive. 8. Sigourney Weaver - If I didn't pay credit to her I would be dishonoring film. 9. Julianne Moore - I don't know what to put here, she's ascended beyond that point. 10. Vin Diesel - He's Vin-Fricking-Diesel. Title: Re: 10 actors you are always glad to see Post by: messedup on December 14, 2013, 03:34:49 PM Samuel L Jackson
