     Who can lick the paint right off the flats, IYHO?

     I chose 1-5.
If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

I suggest you add Lugosi (sorry RC) to the poll, along with Nic Cage.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

I chose "other" so I could add Charlton Heston...I love the guy but he could go way over the top.

Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.

Faye Dunaway for Mommie Dearest.
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

How could you leave William Shatner off that list? I love Heston but yeah he should be an option there too. And Lugosi too.

Shatner would be my first pick honestly but you know I love all these stars. Guess I actually like over-acting perhaps?!

Agree with "The Shat" and Bela Lugosi they bring it every time they are on screen. Today's actors rarely do. I'll take William Shatner any day over some boring monosyllabic pretty boy, who thinks Hamlet is a sandwich!

For me, Shatner would tie for first place with Adam West.  God, I would LOVE to see a buddy movie with Adam West and Will Shatner.

Gary Busey.

'Nuff said.
                                             

If God exists, why did he make me an atheist? Thats His first mistake.

Another favorite, but he COULD do it "right:"  Kurt Russell (see TOMBSTONE as the example)

I agree with the REV on Nick Cage, he's either OVERACTING or being calm. No middle ground.
yeah no.

Even a  telling a simple story he acts like he's on the verge of jumping on the table and laughing manically....!
