Mista, I had a casual look at your list and I found this one intriguing. He had something like half a scene in the movie

Yeah, thats why I ranked it as my 2nd-to-last favorite performance of his, that Ive seen. Maybe you misunderstood the order from top to bottom, or thought I was implying I had seen more of his films and liked this cameo better than all of those.

Yes this one! So you have listed all the movies of your favorite actors exhaustively and in order of preference. Okay

Completely understandable. Just give me a few years, hopefully I should see much more of all of these actor's work.

MMTH, do you like "You've got mail"? And how about Nicholson's Joker?

Eastwood: The "man with no name" in his 3 classic Spaghetti Westerns; The Outlaw Josey Wales; High Plains Drifter; Dirty Harry.

DeNiro: Taxi Driver; The Mission; The Deer Hunter; The Godfather (sorry, but he had a lousy Southern accent in Cape Fear, although I like the movie all right).

Pacino: Scarface, The Godfather.

Gibson: Braveheart.

Now for 3 of my favorite ladies...

Meryl Streep: The Deer Hunter, Sophie's Choice.

Sigourney Weaver: Alien (the first one only!); Dave.

Rachel Weisz: Enemy at the Gates; *blush* The Mummy Yeah, I know, that's terrible.

Al Pacino in GFII, GFI and Devil's Advocate. Every once in a while I do an "Al Pacino" movie festival day and lay in bed all day and watch all his films. But those are my 3 favs.

Ive never seen You've Got Mail, and I havent seen Nicholson in Batman Returns or whichever one in many many years.
