I would do a top 5 actress list....

Barbara Stanwyck....far better than more than 90% that won the award.

Myrna Loy

Joanne Woodward

Bette Davis

Elizabeth Taylor

Only one I left out of the top 5 Katharine Hepburn should be there somewhere.

Brando
Daniel Day Lewis
James Stewart
Paul Newman
DeNiro

My list consists of leading men only. if we included character actors or guys who don't usually play the leading role, then my list would be different. I would have oldman in there for sure.

DeNiro has made some shite the past 10 years but his body of work up until the turn of the century is stellar and diverse. My list is really best actors who are also movie stars

I think your list needs to see a doctor fast. It seems to have caught some kind of malignant tumor.

Clint Eastwood- Plays in 3 of my top 5 favorite movies. Hard not to include him.

He is my top one, I'm just going to list some others that I really enjoy.

Brad Pitt- is just awesome in everything he does.

Marlon Brando- If I could chose to look like any actor, it would be Brando from Streetcar. He was so fricking awesome, no homo.

Harrison Ford- Peaked with the Fugitive, but had an amazing run int he late 70's and 80's.

Sean Connery- Is great in shitty movies.

Clark Gable- that's all.

NICE LIST!!!!!!!!!!! But Clint HAS to be in there somewhere.



Again, I had a tough time limiting it to 5. I could easily see Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Marlon Brando, Daniel Day Lewis, Harrison Ford, or a few others having a solid case. It's really too close to call
