    Jack Lemmon was good

    i also liked Paul Newman....Clint Eastwood too though he more of a "style " or "attitude" than an actual acting talent

    I have a Top 5: Al Pacino, Daniel Day-Lewis, Paul Newman, James Cagney, Marlon Brando.

    I've found lately that there's a good chance that Day Lewis is going to usurp Al Pacino on my list. It just depends on my watching a few movies of his that I haven't seen yet, one of them being Lincoln.

    If it's for TV, then: Walton Goggins, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Tim Olyphant and Cobie Smulders, maybe.

    Goggins would, if I were to include just his work on The Shield and Justified, make my Top 10 Actors in General list. Cranston probably could as well.

    I recommend The Age of Innocence. Although, I must warn that Michelle Pfiefer and Winona Ryder both give shaky performances; the movie is still a masterpiece, and Day-Lewis' subtlety in the film is incredible.

    On the other hand, Pacino does have that amazing blind performance in Scent of a Woman..

    often good actors can be easy to forget, because they make you believe that they are who they are pretending to be, and you forget that they are acting

    For me, it's pretty easy to just focus on Day-Lewis if the rest of the film isn't quite on his level (eg. The Crucible). I'll have to see which of his films are on Netflix sometime.

    Oh, if you still liked him in the Crucible, you'll have no problems with The Age of Innocence; that movie's cast was really painful overall.

    Val Kilmer, when he played Doc Holiday in Tombstone. "I'm yer Huckleberry."
    Isabella Rosalini, in Blue Velvet.
    Bruce Willis, in Armageddon.

    I could go on all day with this.

    I don't really have favourite male actors much now I'm a grown up.
    I used to love Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Schwarzenegger(altho he's a total knob as a person)
    Stallone, Eastwood.

    Honourable mentions to Steve McQueen, Kirk Douglas, Jason Statham, Joe Pesci (he makes me laugh...)

    And the girls, I'd include these..
    Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Olga Kurylenko, Milla Jovovich and Ekaterina Rednikova (who I'm sure most people here wont know)

    I was about to name off people I think are the best actors, but I figured I'd just go with the one who entertains me the most: Nicolas Fucking Cage.

    The guy is just mesmerizing. That's the only way I can describe the guy. Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans is probably the best example of that. Then there's Vampire's Kiss, Ghost Rider 2, Con Air and Deadfall (the ultimate Nic Cage performance),

    Lord of War is my favorite movie of his, but that wasn't the insane Nic Cage. It was the good actor in a good movie version of Nic Cage like when he was in Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation and The Weatherman. That Nic Cage rules, too.
