RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I know I'm behind the times on here but Wendy and I finally saw GRAN TORINO on Blu-Ray! I think it's one of the greatest movies of all time. Seriously. Forget "Million Dollar Baby" although that movie was damn good too, I just loved Clint's latest masterpiece. Did this movie win any Oscars? It should have, but then again this movie is way too good to get an award from that bunch of liberal millionaire lunatics in Lost Angeles. Is Clint going to retire now? I hope not. Clint is the BEST. There is no one like him in Hollyweird and when he passes away I hope he gets the respect that he deserves. "GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY!" Clint Eastwood is a five tool player. Actor Director Writer Producer Singer? HAHAHA! Clint can do it all you guys! He is "Every Which Way But Loose!" I have been brainstorming, trying to come up with someone who is better than Clint when it comes to film and I can't. I come up empty. I keep shooting blanks. I must offer Clint My sincere thanks. Sincerely, "THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY" This beer is for you Clint Eastwood. Please make one more Dirty Harry film before you retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I'd have to go with Harrison Ford. I mean in addition to Han Solo and Indiana Jones, he's played the President, defended the President in every Tom Clancy movie to hit the screen, and also had some other good roles in moveis that I like (e.g. Frantic, Witness).

Speaking of Gran Torinos and FORD, there is no doubt that "BULLIT" rules too just like Mustangs! I've owned four of them in my life and they were all F irst O n R ace D ay. Not F ound O n R oad D ead. LOL! Probably the best car chase scene in any movie with regards to "The French Connection."

HisCounterpart Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 QUOTE (metaldad @ Jun 15 2009, 02:15 PM) watch SCARFACE. This reminds me of once watching a top100 best films to see before you die or something like that and some talking head went "If you haven't seen Scarface you haven't lived!" To which my bf responded "I once watched Scarface and I almost died!" Well, didn't grab him apparently. As for fav actor of all time, it's a tought one. Apart from all the great ones already mentioned, Christopher Walken has always been a personal favourite of mine. Gary Oldman is great too.

Presto-digitation Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Marlon Brando and Al Pacino come to mind instantly. I also think Daniel Day Lewis can do no wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Gotta go with Keanu Reeves I'll answer this in 3 categories: Most underrated actor: John Cusack-I think he really just needs that one breakthrough role that will put him in the next level, but I think he's great Best performance of all-time: Tie between Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison and Heath as The Joker of course or Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York Best overall Actor: Daniel Day Lewis Just watch Gangs of New York!

Movies like 88 minutes and Insomnia were not good moments for ol Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't really have a favorite actor. There is no one that I rush out to see just because they are in a film, but here are some actors who have made more than a few films where I thought they gave a brilliant performance. Edward Norton (Ever see American History X?) Robert De Niro John Cusack Robin Williams Tom Hanks Russell Crow Jason Segel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
