Pitt
Dammon
Depp
Cruise
Leo
Clooney
Will Smith

Gosling?
JgL?
Hanks?
.....
Hathaway
Portman
Anniston
Jolie
Streep
Diaz
Lawrence?
Kunis?

This is what I'm gathering

Emily Blunt is moving up fast. If she's not A-list yet - She will be soon.

Where's Will Smith on everybody's A list? The man's box office gold and has made a ton of good movies over the years.

JGL has absolutely no business being in the same category as the likes of Leo, Pitt, Damon, etc., etc.. actors like JGL are the reason of the original post about the term "A-list" getting stretched out and over used.

A-list to me means a leading man or leading woman. someone who can single handily sell a movie and make it a blockbuster just by putting their face on the cover. JGL has an excellent agent who lands him numerous supporting roles in many big films, but he isn't the reason that people are spending money to see it. about the only close "blockbuster" that he was in that cleared over 100M at the box office in which you could argue he helped sell was Looper and you can bet your bottom dollar that Bruce Willis was the main attraction and main reason people spent money to see that film. JGL playing small supporting roles in Lincoln, Inception, Dark Knight, etc. doesn't mean he is A-list.

the box office success isn't the only thing that completely makes someone A-list, but it is a big factor. also what matters is the amount of media attention and hype one receives. JGL is never in the headlines and you could probably pick up any celebrity magazine and not find one photo of him. yes he is famous and does have his fans, but this message board hypes him up to be much bigger than he actually is.

I agree with the women's list as all of them have starred in their own movie. You can't be an A-lister if you have to rely on a male A-lister to carry the movie. Maybe also add Sandra Billock, Chalize Theron, and Nicole Kidman.

For the guys I'd add Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and Mark Wahlberg.

Great lists. Can't really disagree with any of those.


Still think that DiNiro and Eastwood can get any project they want at this point, too.
