Richard Harris as Dumbledore (seeing as it's on at the moment). Somehow Michael Gambon missed the mark after seeing Richard Harris in the role.

[i]Heath Ledgers joker only gets the acclaim it does because of his untimely death, if he was still alive it would be forgotten. [/i]

I'd disagree. Heath made that film, the acting was astounding. Nickleson was good because he is but nowhere near as good as Heath.

I'd also agree on the Bond front. Anyone who has read a Bond book will know that Daniel is Bond. Bond is not the humorous, nice guy that Connery and the others depict. He's a very dark character, bitter and hardened by death. Women are merely distractions to be thrown aside once used, men are enemies (in which case they die) or friends in which case they get used.

Michael Caine as errrr, Michael Caine, in every role he's played.

Err no. Sorry.

He's only ever played one, maybe two, characters. The rest of the time he's played Michael Caine. He's the same in every film he's in.

I'm liking how there seems to be a direct correlation between great actors playing great parts and good movies..

there's a distinct lack of Hollywood blockbuster dross here

If you'd seen From Hell or the Ninth Gate you wouldn't say that.
