    Taxi Driver is one of the most overrated movies of all time.

    Taxi Driver better than Godfather 1 & 2? Fuck no!

    Chinatown is also light years better than Taxi Diver.

    We can agree on Network though. Brilliant movie. Easily top 10 all time movie.
     
  2. Good list though there Whiskey!

    Taxi Driver was genius. Far and away Scorsese's best film.

    agree... it's an absurd choice

    also, it is inevitable that these lists are going to contain actors only from the 1960s onward

    Jimmy Stewart, Rex Harrison, Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, Max Von Sydow, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant -- all great actors, all guys with NO CHANCE of ending up in this thread

    Connery as Bond and Connery as William Forrester are pretty different performances. I think he became a better actor as he grew older.

    1. Marlon Brando
    2. John Malkovich
    3. Gary Oldman
    4. Ben Kingsley
    5. Gene Hackman
    6. Tom Hanks
    7. Denzel Washington
    8. Anthony Hopkins
    9. Robert DeNiro
    10. Russell Crowe

    I agree with you gatti. But it's cool. We should definately make a new thread about non english speaking actors. I got a great list.
     
  15. Hope you realize that this quote is from "Goodfella's".

    You might notice I said "off what they know and what they prefer". It's quite possible that some people here don't watch non-English-speaking actors and thus can't judge their careers.

    the point i was trying to make is, i actually like goodfellas the most of scorsese's movies, and part of the reason is scenes like the billy batts one. didn't really make the point well.

    that's cool.

  22. ArturoGatti

    let's see it.


    What does "hammy" mean?

    And rooster I got your point.
     
  23. Anthony

    You didn't have much of one other than to get snide and say "so only actors from the English speaking world are good". Nobody said that or posted it. You just took it on yourself to make a snotty-sounding implication based on other people's posts. To which I said, "Don't be absurd".<label for="rb_iconid_7">[​IMG]</label>

    How many of his movies have you seen? I actually want him in my top actors of all time, but i separated from English to non-English speaking. This guy is literally one of the best actors i have ever seen.

    May i recommend
    Oldboy
    Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
    I saw the Devil.
    Tae Guk Gi

    he wasn't in tae guk gi. actually, he had a cameo, right?

    i thought he was good in swiri. there's another film called cheehwasun that he was supposedly great in. didn't see it though.

    did you watch crying fists?
