who're your favorite actor & actress?

[space6oy]

i've been a total sucker for naomi watts for a long time but have had a very tough time picking a favorite male actor. random thinking while driving today made me think it might be tom hanks... so many awesome flicks i love. big, the burbs, joe vs. the volcano, forrest gump, saving private ryan, green mile, cast away, road to perdition, the terminal... yeah he's done plenty of cheesy stuff, romantic flics & such, but some of those are just favorites. plus outside of acting in movies he just seems like a modest, friendly guy... harrison ford is up there too. star wars, indiana jones, cowboys vs. aliens... saw the preview for ender's game tonight, hope that turns out awesome...

Laurence Olivier and Audrey Hepburn.

Holy crap Dubs is alive!



Anyway, right now I'm going with Klaus Kinski and Faye Dunaway.

Ian McKellan made a run for male actor, but i can't quite give him the nod. he's awfully good, though.

Gene Reno and Audrey Tautou are I think as close as I'll get to "favorite" I guess.

just curious, what're some flicks by those folks you dudes dig? i've always had a tough time w/ oldies (for me). aside from some groundbreakers, stuff like metropolis, classic horrors...

ian mckellan is fucking awesome.

[D.o.S.]

Faye Dunaway is awesome in everything, particularly Chinatown, Bonnie & Clyde, and Network.

I've only seen Kinski's work with Herzog. Aguirre is probably the best of those, although Fitzcarraldo and Nosferatu are awfully good.

stuff i'll have to look up. despite a film class in high school (where i made my own soundtrack to metropolis...) my history is terribly weak...

[dubkitty]

you want to see Olivier doing Shakespeare. Hamlet is great, and John Lydon allegedly patterned his Sex Pistols delivery on Olivier's Richard III.

what's a shakespeare? never heard of it...

[space6oy]

might start another thread for it but could also name my favorite movie...

Carey Grant and Audry Helburn

Best movie with both of them: Charade
Best Carey Grant: Arsenic and Old Lace

Don't really know if I could pick a favorite movie, though...
