I had a lot of them over the years. One was Dane clark see him in the pride of marines.

Another was Fredrick March he was great played a lot of different parts. One of my favorites was the best years of our lives. Great great movie.

Then Burt Lancaster because he was a great actor and he was also an east harlem boy.

Then Rod Steiger especially when he was younger. See tge pornbroker that was some movie.

Then Kirk Douglas see the juggler, and lonely are the brave that was some fight seen with tge one armed guy in that movie. All the rest you have probably already seen.

Al Pacino another Harlem boy at least so they say?

Bob deNiro who loves his black women. Irene cara told me they called him Robert the negro.

Not a really great actor but joe Pesce a great guy love that guy. Met him at a half way house in Harlem. Have not seen him once he moved out of Ny.

Michael Caine, imo needs to be recognized as one of the best actors of all time. I like how DeNiros characters have all changed from whackadoo neighborhood guy, to tough guy, to hardened ex spy or cop... I enjoy Jason Statham, not just bc hes an action star... Watch his earlier films with Guy Ritchie, hes hilarious, he doesnt become a tough guy until those Driver films. Matt Damon is another one of my favorites, hes a great actor. Ben Affleck is a lot better than most of the roles he plays imho... Morgan Freeman, Denzel are fantastic actors. Sean Penn is good. Tom hanks, George Clooney has great talent, no matter what ppl think of him.. Same with Brad Pitt, look at his character in 12 Monkeys... Clive Owen, Tommy Lee Jones... I could go on forever... Cant get enough movies

Agreed on Michael Caine he's highly underrated he's amazing in the original Get Carter as well as playing Alfred in the Dark Knight movies.

Tommy lees best parts imo are in No Country for Old Men and Lonesome Dove. Michael Caine is great, Get Carter i liked, he plays a poor retired man in some London Projects... Cant remember the name... Great movie.. In Children of Men he plays an old hippy haha.. Great role for him. Ed Harris is another great one.

Lewis is a great actor, Denzel is another one I kind of like Ed norton as well.

I did not like the movie the score but the actors in it were special.

But they made it look like deNiro was a genius thief. A score to me was more like the one in heat. Big rig crashes into an armoured car that's a score

Or steal a truck drive it in kings plaza shopping center at about 11 pm just before the movie is let out. Crash it through their front entrance into Kay's jewelry store take what you can and drive back out and leave.

I just became a chaplin fan after hearing his speech at the end of the great dictator on YouTube .

Now it is about time I leave this site getting bored with it. Maybe I will see you the next time I am in Berlin. It is going to be my new home soon.

This topic is "were", so I assumed the actors were no longer living.

John Wayne - not a great actor, but as a kid I loved all those war and cowboy movies. He was sooooooo tough.
Burt Lancaster - Played Jim Thorpe, what else can you say.
Steve McQueen - Mr. Cool...the Great Escape, Bullitt, oh yeah The Blob.
Maureen O'Hara - my first starlet crush. Ezmerelda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame; The Quiet Man.
Marlon Brando - say no more, Don Corleone.
Gregory Peck - To Kill a Mockingbird, fabulous.

("were" might just be simply syntax)

I agree, but I add Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, Katherine Hepburn, and Pier Angeli.

99% of Scottish films are terrible the only one's i can think of off thhe top of my head that i enjoy are Trainspotting,Sweet Sixteen and Neds. The Scottish actors i can think of that you would've heard of are Ewan Mcgreggor,James Mcavoy,Sean Connery,Robbie Coltrane and Robert Carlysle. Also Kelly Mcdonald from Trainspotting who did the main voice in the newest Pixar film Brave.

Kelly McDonald is great in "Boardwalk Empire". And of course Connery. I liked him best in "The Untouchables" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2". He does have a comedic flair.

Benicio Del Toro. The guy is just a bad ass and one of the only modern actors who has that Steve McQueen vibe. If anyone hasn't seen a movie with him called "The Way Of The Gun" check it out. It is awesome. I saw it in theaters with my now wife when we were first dating in 2000 and while I now hate the wife, I still love that movie.

I like all those actors you listed Alfano except Daniel Day-Lewis. I don't know why really but I don't like see foreign actors playing americans. Just a preference I guess.

Some other good ones are:

James Caan
Leonardo DiCaprio (not for the girly movies like Titanic etc.)
Titus Welliver
Bruce Dern
Warren Oates
Lee Marvin

Some really good female actors I like (for their acting, not their looks, that is different thing):

Jessica Chastain
Juliette Lewis

Spacey is okay but I have a hard time believing him play straight guys. I have nothing against the gays but this guy is pretty obviously gay and I don't buy him playing straight. He was decent in the Usual Suspects but even seemed gay in that.

Eh, he's believable enough for me. Not all metrosexual/effeminate men are gay, just as not all hypermasculine guys are straight. There's a correlation but it's far from absolute.

Besides, it's not like he's getting roles that would otherwise go to The Rock.

Can't forget John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. AG reminded me of that when she mentioned Eli Wallach.

It is up there for sure on my list. I lean more towards the ones with Lee Van Cleef in them. He was a great bad guy in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and was very good in For A Few Dollars More (I might have it backwards). Any Western with him was bound to be good.

I forgot about Ed Harris. He's a pretty good actor. I met him a few years ago at the Eric Clapton concert while we were waiting outside to get in. My friends were talking to him a little bit, introducing themselves, shooting the breeze. And I was shy. So, I just kept quiet and observed. And then he said to me, "And, you are?" And he took my hand, I thought he was going to kiss it lol but he just gently shook it. He has the most beautiful blue eyes. I felt like he seduced me with his eyes. Meow. He's from Jersey too. +1 grin

That movie Apaloosa he did with Viggo Mortenson was really good.

The only celebrity I've ever met was Katie Holmes. This was back in 2000 way before she married Tom Cruise. She seemed pretty normal.

Harris is one of those 2nd tier actors that doesn't get the notice that some others do. Sam Shepard, James Wood, and Peter Strauss also.

Yes, Oli, I completely agree with you about those actors. I'd add Tommy Lee Jones, Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore, and Charles Grodin.

Yes, she was stunningly beautiful. It was at a frat party at University of Toledo and she was easily the prettiest girl there.

Yeah, that wasn't too nice of you but at least you went for the opposite sex. Nowadays, kids are encouraged by the media to be fa***ts and lesbians. So, at least we didn't have to contend with any of that shit growing up.

I like actors who can genuinely play tough or scary guys.

Michael Ironside, probably forgotten by most people, used to scare me when I was a kid.

Robert Mitchum

Clifton Powell

Lee Van Cleef

Tim Roth

Gary Oldman

Growing up probably Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal.

My childhood consisted of watching Bloodsport and Kickboxer on repeat lol.

Bloodsport was great! Loved the tournament, always hoped to see JCVD matchup against the guy who fought monkey style. I think they didn't give us that matchup because we'd be rooting against JCVD.

I watched Rio Bravo last night. Wayne and Mitchum were two actors who filled up the screen just like Burt Lancaster and Humphrey Bogart. As much as I like Pacino and DeNiro in their various roles, their performances just don't have the power of the 40s and 50s male actors.

I can't remember probably a monster movie smile I spent a lot of time in movies after I ran away from home. Globe Theather in the Bronx was the best. Get there in the morning cost 25 cents you got three monster movies, 25 cartoons at least 4 cereals like Flash Gordon. If the monster movies were good and they were good would see them all twice. Now if I see them on Amazon I buy them.

Check our Abandon ship staring Tyrone Power, Lloyd Nolan and Stephen Boyd. It on YouTube. Who do you think could play in a remake if made today?


Great list. I'm going to look up that movie and tell you. What was the first movie you ever saw at the movie theater?



I can't remember probably a monster movie smile I spent a lot of time in movies after I ran away from home. Globe Theather in the Bronx was the best. Get there in the morning cost 25 cents you got three monster movies, 25 cartoons at least 4 cereals like Flash Gordon. If the monster movies were good and they were good would see them all twice. Now if I see them on Amazon I buy them.


That's some deal 25 cents. cool My Dad said he saw King Kong as his first movie, I think he was 8. This was back in the 40's. Was that back in the 40's or 50's?

I watched about 40 minutes of that movie Abandon Ship. None of today's actors can come close to Tyrone Power's outstanding performance in that role imo. As soon as I started watching it I thought of George Clooney because he has the looks and the ability to play the character but lacks that confidence and power that Tyrone P had. Another actor I thought of was Henry Cavill who played Superman in Man of Steel. Some other actors I thought of for that role were Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Daniel Craig, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy. If Tom Hanks wasn't so goofy he could play him.

Tyrone Power is the perfect man. He had the confidence, the intelligence, the power, the good looks, the charm. He had just the right balance of what a man needed to handle that situation he was in. He was very fair minded too. I'll watch the rest of the movie one day, kind of depressing. I skipped to the end to make sure it had a happy ending tongue

A Dean Martin/Jerry Lewis film, "Pardners". It was one of their last movies they made together. A hot summer night in 1956; I was five years old. My parents wanted to get out of the hot apartment (this was in the days before everyone had air-conditioning at home) so they took me to the local theater and we watched Martin & Lewis in a COOL room.

It was over sixty years ago but I still remember being thrilled at going into this huge, cavernous, dark room and seeing all these people watching the screen. I knew who the stars were (from television) and I think watched about thirty minutes of the movie before I fell asleep. I'd go on to visit that theater many, many times while I was growing up. I'd go with my friends once a month on a Saturday and spend the entire day there for 50¢ to see two main movies, a serial and some cartoons. Then, as I got older, I'd go there on dates. I'd still go there with my wife after I got married. Then the theater became a gym.

Somehow everything came full cycle. Now when I go to a theater I fall asleep again. Only difference is, I snore now. blush

Since I don't remember it, my sisters had to remind me. We went to a neighborhood theater called the Dink on Lincoln Avenue. We watched the plethora of cowboys movies that dominated the screens in those days. Otherwise, the earliest movie that I do remember seeing was either Battle Cry (at the drive-in with my Dad and sisters) with Aldo Ray or The Ten Commandments (with the incomparable Charleton Heston) at the Warner Theater in Downtown Pittsburgh.

By the way, I just came across this. These aren't my favorite actors, but this history makes them more interesting:

Dolph Lundgren, who played Ivan Drago in Rocky IV and is known for playing hulking action roles, has an IQ of over 160 and holds degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry. Ashton Kutcher was planning to do a Masters in Biochemical Engineering before he signed on for That '70s Show.

First movie at a theater: "How the West Was Won," probably 1962. We would have had at least four kids, maybe as many as six. I mostly just remember being in the dark at the back of the theater (too small to see anything) and that it went on forever, and that we lots of sandwiches and things we brought from home.

I watched the rest of it. And now, I think even more highly of Alec Holmes played by Tyrone Power. He got the situation handled, never backing down or second guessing himself. That is what I call a REAL man. He had to make extremely difficult decisions, everyone was against him. Not an easy job. Only a true ALPHA MALE can do that. Meow. grin

Not too many men like that around in the real world today.

I still believe my list of actors could play that role, just not as well as Power did.

Do you have another movie for me to watch? The older the better.

I'm watching Destination Tokyo with Cary Grant and John Garfield. I haven't thought of Garfield in quite awhile, but he was good and underrated. He made alot of movies in the 40s. I first remember him in Body and Soul when he played a boxer. He's a NY guy and played most of his roles with that NY moxie.

John Garfield was a fantastic actor. He made a lot of great movie and he died very young. Gentlemens Agreement,they made me a criminal with the dead end kids was very good,nobody livers forever, the sea wolf,pride of the marines,postman always rings twice. He was very very good.

Another actor who one hears little about is Montgomery Clift. His tenure on screen was short-lived, but I really liked him. I especially liked him in his first movie Red River. His performances were understated, but so effective.

Another actor I can't stand is Michael Pena. If he's in a movie I will automatically be less inclined to see it.

Has there ever been a casting choice so off the wall it has stopped you from seeing a movie you were otherwise very interested in seeing?

I was extremely looking forward to seeing The Program with Ben Foster as Lance Armstrong until Chris O'Dowd was cast in the other leading role as the journalist who exposed him as a cheat.

So miscast I couldn't look past it; too young, inexperienced and unqualified for a role he was so unsuited for, having cut his teeth in D list British comedies.

Clifton Collins Jr. is a character actor I've been impressed with in anything I've seen him in.

I thought red river was great. John Wayne's performance in that movie should have got him an Oscar nomination.

Tyrone Power was discovered in a play on Broadway. No matter how many movies he was in he always would appear on Broadway in between.

A favorite movie with Tyrone Power was a movie called Johnny Appolo. Good movie Lloyd Noland was also in that one.

I think my favorite of his was Mississippi Gambler all of these are on youtube. They put in a lot of money in that movie. Chester from Gunsmoke had a small part in it. The female lead was the girl in the Hustler I forget her name. The second female lead was in a monster movie I liked Creature from the black lagoon. Both women I think are still alive today.

The dance scene with the chicken was arranged by the great Gwen Verdon. The guy that played the female leads father was great in this movie.

Brad Pitt's cameo almost ruined 12 Years a Slave single-handedly.

The script for Seven was so good even his shitty acting couldn't ruin that movie though.

Kevin Spacey's acting towards the end when Morgan Freeman and Pitt are driving him to the desert is chilling.

Sean Penn is somewhat of an overactor.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Al Pacino are obviously great actors but I think they have a tendency to ham it up whereas Robert De Niro has more of an understated intensity that I appreciate more.

De Niro but he hasn't done anything worthwhile for 20 years.

Leonardo DiCaprio is the number 1 actor in the world today in my opinion..

Go backwards. There are thousands of great classic movies to enjoy. Made in the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s. And many, many great stars to watch. Names like Gable, Grant, Cooper, Cagney and Bogart. Hepburn (both Katherine and Audrey), Bette Davis and Barbara Stanwyck. All BIG stars. But these were also the years of truly great character actors whose names may not have been as well-known but they were masters of their craft and you'd probably recognize them all as soon as you saw them. People like Thomas Mitchell, Charles Coburn, Walter Brennan and Barry Fitzgerald.

Excellent post. There are so many B actors that did an excellent job. I especially remember Barry Fitzgerald. It seems he almost always played a priest. He was in Going My Way among others wasn't he?

I certainly agree.. TCM channel is a constant in our home..Love Robert Mitchum, Cagney,(own White Heat in VHS form)..Stanwyck is an awesome actress as well as a longtime bed fantasy,....Davis & Crawford,,(just watched Baby Jane 2 nights ago)..cant forget Sidney Portier,,the list goes on...

I was bowling in Parkchester lanes in the Bronx when Kennedy was shot. So I am older then both of you. I mention this when I comment on the movie the wanderers. No one cried or even stopped bowling when he was shot. Not everyone loved him except Marylyn Monroe.

I thought the most veritable actor and best actor was Fredrich March absolutely great in every role he played. Plus he never did any part character more then once.

He was sort of like Burt Lancaster in that regard. But March was more versatile then Lancaster.


only the unloved hate

Yes. Also little Michaleen Flynn in The Quiet Man.

That was June Lockhart, who was also the mom in Lassie for a long time.
