Who would you say is the best actor/movie star

So I believe being a skilled actor and blockbuster movie star are separate things. I would say the best blend of the 2 is Christian bale,Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey jr, Jude law. These guys can be big at the box office while also making great indie films. Who else would you say has both qualities?

Tom Cruise
ETA: Missed the indie film requirement.

Yeah, that's why I added the edit. The only thing he's done that's indie-ish was Magnolia.

Great choices. Like someone else said, add Tom Hardy too.
John Goodman is pretty awesome but i guess he isn’t making blockbusters.

From 1915-2013, the Quigley Publishing Company published a "Top Ten Money Making Stars Poll" based on the biggest box office stars from that given year. I calculated the results and came up with a top 25 list of the biggest box office stars of all-time.
1. John Wayne
2. Clint Eastwood
3. Tom Cruise
4. Bing Crosby
5. Tom Hanks
6. Gary Cooper
7. Clark Gable
8. Burt Reynolds
9. Bob Hope
10. Paul Newman
11. Doris Day
12. Rock Hudson
13. Julia Roberts
14t. Eddie Murphy
14t. Johnny Depp
16. Betty Grable
17. Cary Grant
18. Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin
19. Abbott and Costello
20t. James Stewart
20t. Harrison Ford
22. George Clooney
23. Robert Redford
24t. Arnold Schwarzenegger
24t. Mel Gibson
Based on that list, I would say the best actor and movie star of all-time is a tie between Gary Cooper and Tom Hanks followed by Paul Newman and then Jimmy Stewart.

No Samuel L? He’s in every movie.

Very good actor, but he doesn’t really do movies that rake it in at the box office
I’d have to go with Christian Bale

day Lewis typically schools everyone in his films.
Posted on 7/4/19 at 8:39 pm to Hawgnsincebirth55
Daniel Day Lewis, Gary Oldman, Sam Rockwell

People aren’t reading the OP...
This isn’t just a “who’s a great actor” thread
