72 hours, pick your actor

Christian Bale

Tom Hanks





I was also thinking Clint. He’s got a significant range of movies.

Tom Hanks is a good choice as you have a pretty wide range of tone and genre.

72 hours is about 36 movies.

Tom has 45 lead actor credits so you are pretty much watching most of his catalogue or maybe watching a few movies multiple times.

If it weren't lead actor, I'd probably take Samuel L Jackson

John Wayne

Tom Cruise.

Robert Duvall unless the "main actor" requirement disqualifies him. Then Roy Scheider based on the material more than the performances ... but not sure you could get to 72 hours.

Harrison Ford!

Clint Eastwood
John Wayne
Jimmy Stewart
Gene Hackman
Robert Duvall

Any of these 5

You're locked in a room

Home theater or proper cinema experience?

Keanu Reeves?

Bruce Willis would be a solid choice.

5th Element, Die Hard, Armageddon, etc...

But to be honest, there aren't too many actors who have great movies where they're in the LEAD role. Do they have to still be living?

Gary Oldman, Sam Rockwell, Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ian McKellen, Michael Caine. Lots to choose from.

Gotta be Tom Hanks just for his range and variety of films alone. Easy to break everything up with dramas, animated and comedy spread throughout
