Ok so people at work were arguing that Travolta is an "A-list" star. I said he is not, based on the reasons below.

Would you agree with my A-list of actors and actresses lists below?

Criteria for A list status

1- Name Recognition
2- Face Recognition
3- Current Relevance *
4- Career Filmography *
5- When they are gone, will they be “legends”? *
6- Acting Versatility *

* Travolta doesn’t meet

A LIST MEN (no particular order)
1) Robert De Niro
2) Bruce Willis
3) Leonardo Dicaprio
4) Brad Pitt
5) Tom Hanks
6) Jack Nicholson
7) Denzel Washington
8) Tom Cruise
9) Will Smith
10) Morgan Freeman
11) Clint Eastwood
12) George Clooney
13) Robert Downey Jr
14) Johhny Depp
15) Samuel L Jackson
16) Matt Damon
17) Kevin Spacey
18) Jim Carrey
19) Mel Gibson
20) Jamie Foxx

B list------
John Travolta
James Franco
Hugh Jackman
Nicolas Cage
Keanu Reeves
Ben Affleck


A LIST WOMEN

I just skimmed your list
But Anne Hathaway is definitely an A lister

She's probably more of an A lister than almost everyone on your list

Your women's list blows. Julia Roberts is no more relevant than Travolta. Milan Kunis?

Women's list should have Meryl Streep A List- the rest

Not anymore for these. Depp is borderline.
