deniro as a bloated cartoon fuck in "analyze this" or "meet the parents" is a disgrace to himself.

atsonicpark · 01.06.2009, 01:34 PM

Yeah, I should say, late 60's - late 1998..

Greetings, The Wedding Party, Hi Mom, Mean Streets, The Godfather II, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, Raging Bull, True Confessions, King of Comedy (!), Once Upon a Time in America, Angel Heart, The Untouchables, Goodfellas, Awakenings, Backdraft, Cape Fear, Mistress, Bronx Tale, This Boy's Life, Casino, Brazil, Heat, Sleepers, The Fan, Cop Land, Jackie Brown, Wag the Dog, Ronin... great!

Steve McQueen
Daniel Day-Lewis (My Left Foot might be the best movie ever from a strictly method acting standpoint)

davenotdead · 01.06.2009, 01:57 PM

i have this thing for jack palance for some reason... i guess it was after i saw Contempt. i can't even explain it

demonrail666 · 01.06.2009, 02:01 PM

something similar happened to me after seeing Contempt. Only in my case it was for Bridget Bardot - an altogether easier one to explain I suppose.

davenotdead · 01.06.2009, 02:03 PM

for one week in 2008, i strongly considered getting a large tattoo of jack palance anally raping Bardot... on my ribs... i was in a weird place at the time

Danny Himself · 01.06.2009, 02:05 PM

John Turturro, Adrien Brody, Jeff Bridges, Natalie Portman, Dominique Pinon, Tommy Lee Jones, John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, Dustin Hoffman, John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackon, Uma Thurman.. hmm.. that's about it. Maybe add my dear Zooey to the list, though I haven't seen many of her films due to them being infected with Matthew McConaughey.

demonrail666 · 01.06.2009, 02:09 PM

I'm guessing you watch a lot of Coen brothers films.

Danny Himself · 01.06.2009, 02:11 PM

I do. They are a great showcase for actors to prove their range.. I mean it's amazing how Turturro can play Barton Fink in one film and then Jesus Quintana in another.

Eight year olds, dude.

mangajunky · 01.06.2009, 02:30 PM

James Cagney

Peter Sellers

Mel Blanc

gualbert · 01.06.2009, 02:34 PM

White Heat, I liked it.

acousticrock87 · 01.06.2009, 03:02 PM

John Malkovich
Takeshi Kitano

And for some reason, I always enjoy Chris Kattan movies. Even when they suck.

I don't think there is any actor that would have me walk into a movie with a shit premise. A good actor does the role justice, even if the character is weak and unbelievable in the script. For instance, I liked Ioan Gruffudd in the Hornblower series and Saving Grace but fuck no am I going to see King Arthur and the Fantastic Four movies on his account.

I just saw a medicore movie this weekend called "Don't Tempt Me" starring Penelope Cruz, and will declare I will watch all her spanish language films because she comes off as the hottest woman in the world, its sad how her english speaking parts never seem to due her justice character-wise and even beauty-wise, there is a clear difference when you watch her in a American film and when you watch her in a Spanish film.

Rob Instigator · 01.06.2009, 05:08 PM

she is ridiculously fine with her spanish lisp and her sultry looks

Toilet & Bowels · 01.06.2009, 06:45 PM

michelle yeoh
crispin glover
there was a time when i'd watch anything with catherine keener in it too, but i don't have much of a clue what she's been doing for the last 5 or 6 years, and in the 90s i'd watch anything johnny depp made, he only seems to make shit films now though.

That would have applied to me too a few years ago but he's directed a lot of nonsense of late.

I guess it would have to be, along with the more obvious ones (De Niro), anything with Dennis Hopper or Dustin Hoffman from their peak decades. Beatrice Dalle always seems be in interesting films, particularly of late, i.e., Inside, Seventeen Times Cecile Cassard, Process.

Did you see her in The Blackout? That is one seriously fucked up (in a good way) film.
