As far as actresses go, there are less leading roles for women than men, so it's harder to think of outstanding ones, but... Helen Mirren, Tilda Swinton, Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, Jennifer Connelly, and I still love Winona Ryder from my childhood. |

05.21.11 | "As far as actresses go, there are less leading roles for women than men, so it's harder to think of outstanding ones" Which is also due to the fact that women in movies mostly are solely for "display purpose".
Daniel-Day Lewis is a fucking badass. Especially considering what he pulled off for Gangs Of New York. |

05.21.11 | "He was terrible in Inglorious Basterds"
I disagree, I really liked him in it. But really, if you want proof that he's a great actor just watch Se7en, he was absolutely phenomenal in that. Puzzles mentioned that Snatch is his best role, it's not even close.
"Ellen Page"
Fuck Ellen Page, I hated her in Inception. There are actors who produce likeable characters that I enjoy watching, Page is not one of them. I have no idea why, but the only movie I've actually enjoyed her in was Juno, everything else she's put out has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. |

Hated him in it. He struggled with the voice, and the scene where he feigns the Italian accent is cringe inducing. For me the evidence that he is a good actor lies in Benjamin Button |

His preperations for Gangs Of New York and some other roles were simply badass, hands down. That dude actually learned knive throwing to a deadly precision and walked around the whole set of Gangs of New York in the clothes he was wearing later just for "getting the feel for it". |

"The Tourist" didn't really get good reviews (at least from those critics I mostly agree with, though I'll have to admit I haven't seen the movie and can't tell about his role). I gotta say I liked him in Public Enemies and though I despite the fanboyism for him as "Jack Sparrow" I kinda like the role sometimes. |

I deny it... I prefer to deny that films existence as a whole. I agree with your point about Pitt as a whole (Love his cameo as stoner in Mad Love) I just cannot even begin to be accepting of that movie. |

Why are you so against the film? Not criticizing, just curious.
"I tend to think the best ones are the ones with a wide range of roles."
That's because you'd be right. Good actors create emotions, great actors create characters. Aniston is the former.
For Viggo Mortensen I would also recommend "The Road", he was amazing in that. |
