In your opinion, who are some of the greatest actors of our time?

My personal picks (in no particular order):

1. Daniel Day-Lewis- The way he gets so involved and in-depth to prepare for his roles; I don't think anyone goes as far to prepare as he does. 2 best actor Oscars

2. Tom Hanks- All the guy does is play in movies that are hits (thanks mostly to him). 2 Best actor Oscars and a slew of production hits as well. Tom is the man.

3. Robert De Niro- The man can play such a variety of roles. He has been in some of the all time classics like Raging Bull, The Godfather 2 and Goodfellas. 2 best actor Oscars

4. Julia Roberts- It says something that she has made the most money of any female actor ever. She has been an American Sweetheart since Pretty Woman. 1 Oscar and many nominations

5. Meryl Streep- What really made me admire the ability as an actor of Streep was the movie "Doubt". I think she played a terrific role not too mention she has 2 Oscars.

What are some other Huddlers favorites?

I like Robin Williams, Leo, Hanks is great. Haven't seen a whole lotta DeNiro (don't watch a shit ton of movies) but I liked Taxi Driver.

Ed Norton and Brad Pitt in Fight Club. One of the most underrated movies of all time. That movie should have won every award they had the year it came out.
I really think it's a shame what movies win awards every year as compared to the movies people actually like.

if for no other reason than the fact that he seems totally immersed in every role he plays, sean penn is great.

How come no one has mentioned Vin Diesel? Lol just joking. I was writing a review for a movie on Yahoo and someone said how bad the acting was in a particular movie and proceeded to mention how good of an acting job Vin Diesel does in his movies. I had to laugh.

I've really started to like DiCaprio though.

bullshit it's underrated, everyone knows about that movie and all the tool bags in the world quote and live by that gay ass movie. It's as overrated as it comes and that's about it. Can't stand how people claim it's underrated and the greatest movie ever, it was mediocre at best.

I'm dumb for my opinion? Oh lets start a fightclub and make soap and be the counter culture and do dumb things to the city because we are so cool!
