I know we did this before, but it's been awhile.

Mine- in no real order, except the first 3.

1. Bela Lugosi (duh!)
2. Humphrey Bogart
3. Peter Lorre
4. Vincent Price
5. Louise Brooks ( I only seen 3 of her films. That's all I needed.)
6. Pam Grier- one of the sexist and strongest women in film.
7. Bruce Lee- because he's a bad ass.
8. the 3 Stooges (my favorite is...Shemp!)
9. John Carradine- he always gave a booming voice to even the most obscure and worst movies ever made.
10. Mantan Mooreland -he took a s**tty movie-REVENGE OF THE ZOMBIES (1943)- and made it an enjoyable experience.
11. Lon Chaney Jr. Check out OF MICE AND MEN (1939). Plus he's starred in some real cheap movies- yet he really shines.
12. Bette Davis
13. James Cagney
14. Bruce Dern
15. Beverly Garland- If your a monster, avoid Bev. "I'll see you in Hell!"
16. Barbara Steele
17. Clint Eastwood
18. Edward G.Robinson
19. Gloria Swanson
20. Lon Chaney
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

* Robert DeNiro
* Faye Dunaway
* Clint Eastwood
* Gene Hackman
* Susan Hayward
* Dustin Hoffman
* Harvey Keitel
* Jack Lemmon
* Myrna Loy
* Robert Mitchum
* Paul Newman
* Kim Novak
* Jack Nicholson
* Al Pacino
* James Stewart
* Spencer Tracy
* John Wayne

* John Cazale
* Bruce Dern
* Doris Day
* Audrey Hepburn
* Gregory Peck
* Sidney Poitier
* George C. Scott
* Frank Sinatra
* Sissy Spacek
* Harry Dean Stanton

21. Boris Karloff
22. Jack Nicholson
23. Oliver Reed
24. Marilyn Monroe (she was so good in the MISFITS)

28. George Zucco
29. Lionel Atwill
30. Jayne Mansfield
31. Harold Llyod
