20 Favorite actors and actresses

[RCMerchant]

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

* Dustin Hoffman

^ I can't believe I didn't post Karloff!!!!

[The Burgomaster]

^ I love all those folks. Except John Wayne. Just not a fan.

And here are some others that should have been on the list (I should have made a list of 50 instead of 20 because I'll definitely think of more):

* John Cazale
* Bruce Dern
* Doris Day
* Audrey Hepburn
* Gregory Peck

21. Boris Karloff
22. Jack Nicholson
23. Oliver Reed
24. Marilyn Monroe (she was so good in the MISFITS)
25. Laurel and Hardy- I know I lumped the Stooges into one vote...but one would not be the icons that they became without the other. It's like Tom without Jerry.
26. Nicholas Cage- Like the Rev said.

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