And it's at Bruce Willis where your credibility as a critic fell off.
fair comment 🙂
I have to mention Javier Bardem, if only for No Country for Old Men

Gregory Peck. Oozes integrity.
Thinking of some films i likes twelve monkeys,seven,interveiw with the vampire,fight club,guess it should be brad pitt 😕
I love everything that Jim, Broadbent does, however my favourite at the moment is Johnny Depp. He seems grounded too and an all round good person, considering his fame.
rutger hauer (his roles in the hitcher/blade runner are fantastic) brian cox (for playing hannibal lector convincingly/is just a convincing actor)lori petty (she was in tank girl/point break/brimstone) can do comedy/serious is just a great actress.winona ryder (she is also a great actress)
Robert Carlisle - Fantastic as Begbie in Trainspotting.
Pete Postelthwaite (sp) another great shout.
Robin Williams
Seems many people definitely lean towards the mainstream multiplex type actors...
Paris Hilton - not that many actors have been watched so many times repeatedly without boredom kicking in.
Gerard Depardieu..
Vincent Cassel..
they are two people that I really enjoy watching
I don't really enjoy films very much.. especially the formulaic Hollywood bile..
There are only 11 plots and many variations on the theme in Hollywood according to a poncey film student that I once had the misfortune to be speaking to..
I've got a feeling that he was correct though..
I prefer a book or if it has to be a film.. something homegrown or independent.. there really doesn't seem to be any great call for acting ability these days though but I have to admit to preferring it this way..
Forgot to mention William H Macy.
Sam Rockwell for Green Mile "Me & You, Barbeque...", and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
Brad Pitt is a bit underrated - I pissed me pants at him in Burn After Reading.
Harry Dean Stanton has been is some great movies.

That's probably because we aren't as intellectual as like what you is.
Probably..? I'd say definitely...
Has Harvey Keitel had a mention yet?
also, never in a bad film: Fred Ward
Jack Nicolson has to be at the top though.
Seems many people definitely lean towards the mainstream multiplex type actors..
that's because they tend to be the films stars... the OP asked about film stars
Forgot to mention William H Macy.
is that Ned Flanders from the Simpsons?
Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs was great
for completeness of the list, Philip Seymour Hoffman
1. Cary Grant
2. James Caan
3. Christian Bale
4. Denzel Washington
5. James Stewart
Denzel Washington is great at playing Denzel Washington, which he does in every movie he is in..

Wow, that is odd!! In an online forum open to the public, the responses tend to return with the actors seen in the films seen by the most people.... how on earth did that happen? 🙄
I hate the term "star" and, like most people, my favorite actors are those that are in my favorite films. Therefore, my list is probably as follows:
Morgan Freeman
Christian Bale
Kevin Spacey
Sir Ian McKellen
Brad Pitt
Kevin Norton
Alan Alda - primarily for the M*A*S*H tv series
I've probably forgotten a load more too
Daniel Day Lewis.
Because he smells nice.
The dad in Rita Sue and Bob Too.Gerrout!
Hard to argue with that. Best single performance in a film that I've ever seen.
As far as Hollywood goes, I'm surprised that there's only one mention for Johnny Depp ❓
I count two
oh, Thewlis is brilliant in that film. That film is totally mesmerising to me for some reason.
Fav actor and fav film. He's an Oscar winning legend! And so on etc.

Clint is brilliant. Agree with Sigourney Weaver mentioned above.
Who can argue with Michael Douglas' performance in Falling Down?
However, most everything else he did was a bit crap.
For me it has to be Tom Hardy.
Everything I've seen him in he portrays his character perfectly and manages to really draw you in.
Excellent in Wuthering Heights, Bronson and The Take.

FTFY
+ 1 for Brad Pitt & Robert Carlyle.
Toby Kebbel worth a mention also.
Lance Armstrong - amazing acting skills.....
Watched Trans America again last night, she's not really a 'star' but Felicity Huffman gives a fantastic performance in what must have been a pretty challenging role.
