SUNSTONE Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Pacino - Scareface Hanks - Forest Gump Vin Diesel - The Fast and the Furious Arnold - The Terminator(the first one) Bruce Lee - All of them, and none of them. (He was the same on screen and off screen, and that phrase is a little tribute to his saying "No way, as a way"[something like that]) Bruce Willis - Die Hard and Last Man Standing Samuel L Jackson - Pulp Fiction Stephen Chow - Shaolin Soccer Adam Sandler - Happy Gilmore Jack Nickleson - One Who Flew Over the CooCoo's Nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Brad Pitt's character in Fight Club was pretty righteous. I also thought the part of Casear's son in Gladiator played the Phoenix brother (the guy currently portraying Johnny Cash) was phoenomonal. He was brilliant and in my opinion stole the show from Russell Crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallntfox Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hoffman in Rain Man and Denzel in Training Day........ And I have to also agree with a previous poster that Ed Norton in Primal Fear was great.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I can't believe I'm on a football board and I'm the only one to mention Cuba Gooding Jr. as Rod Tidwell in Jerry MaGuire. What is wrong with you people??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Grundle Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Bill Paxton as Pvt. Hudson in Aliens (Game over man, game OH-ver!)

Barney B Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I also thought the part of Casear's son in Gladiator played the Phoenix brother (the guy currently portraying Johnny Cash) was phoenomonal. He was brilliant and in my opinion stole the show from Russell Crow. Great minds think alike. The scene where he kills his father was unbelievably great acting, I thought. Rutger Hauer's acting in Blade Runner was mighty impressive as well. Bill Murray - very underrated until the "Lost In Translation" Oscar nomination.

jrockster21 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Tom Hanks....Forrest GumpActually...Tom Hanks in ANYTHING. The man's incredible. I agree...Tom Hanks is generally pretty good in everything. I didn't like Road to Perdition though...I'm probably the only one. It did not live up to the hype, in my humble opinion. :whoknows: Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time. He was also excellent in Saving Private Ryan. But Tom Hanks best role of all time was The Burbs!!! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nostril Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Everyone knows who Robin Williams is. Everyone seems to love Robin Williams. Robin Williams is a bankable star in hollywood. Critics almost always praise Robin Williams' performances. Robin Williams is considered one of the greatest comedic actors ever. Robin Williams has won an Oscar. Yet you say Robin Williams is probably one of the most under rated actors ever. My question: How highly do you want him to be rated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Nostril Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 My favorites that haven't been mentioned so far are: Jason Scwartzman as Max Fiscer in Rushmore Klaus Kinski as Don Lope de Aguirre in Aguirre: The Wrath of God. Helena Bonham Carter as Marla Singer in Fight Club Jason Lee as Jeff BeBe in Almost Famous Adam Sandler as Bary Egan in Punch Drunk Love Jean Pierre Leaud as Antoine Doinel The 400 Blows F. Murray Abraham as Salieri and Tom Hulce as Mozart in Amadeus Charlie Chaplin as A Tramp in City Lights. John Hurt as John Merrick in The Elephant Man Kate Winslet as Juliette Hulme in Heavenly Creatures. Jim Carrey as Joel Barrish in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. Oh, I though I should mention that of these. Only 3 were nominated for Oscars, and only one won. This makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get outta here. I liked Primal Fear, but it wasn't all that. Norton was great in it, I'll admit, but he didn't have anything on my man Cuba!! That's one of the greatest roles of the 20th century!! Come on, man!! "Heart?? I'M ALL HEART, MOTHA****A!!!" Besides, Primal Fear wasn't even Norton's best role...I liked him in American History X much better.

Edward Norton in Primal Fear Jason Lee in Mall Rats Val Kilmer in Real Genius Tom Hanks in Philadelphia (Most of his roles, ex. Bachelor Party. Great Movie though) Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
