This is just a websites ranking - it doesn't matter - but no poll or list ever does - and the list is a top 100 that is pretty awful imo after the top 10 - very English language-centric and no Volontè , Depardieu, Finney that I saw - GTFO .......... but this reminded me of the list that Tyler posted the other day for actresses from the same year with a pretty stellar top 10 - even if its not mine. This is the same way: * This top 10 (11 below) includes all 4 men James Lipton called acting geniuses - with the comic actors - FINALLY included - Grant, Chaplin and 2 pre-Brando actors also ranked very near with Brando - Bogart / Stewart. This is an interesting website - like the whole site is this insane amount of lists - you even see it in the De Niro description "archiveable films:" - hmmmmmm: * What do you think - are Stewart, Bogart, Chaplin, Grant legit top 10s - or do thoses actors not deserve that place in this day and age? Is Mifune really the best non-English language actor or is it Mastroianni or Von Sydow (who is around #20 iirc - full link below)........ The rest are the usual suspects just shuffled around.
Top 11:
Robert De Niro James Stewart Marlon Brando Humphrey Bogart Jack Nicholson Al Pacino Daniel Day-Lewis Toshiro Mifune Charlie Chaplin Cary Grant Marcello Mastroianni
"It’s De Niro over Stewart, Brando, Bogart, Pacino, Nicholson Day-Lewis and others—and I don’t think it’s terribly close actually which is what is so amazing. De Niro gave us 29 archiveable films (and possibly counting of course as he’s still busy), most likely the greatest actor/auteur collaboration, the record for leads in a masterpiece, leads in a top 100 film, the best performance of all-time, and probably two of the top 10-15"

I dunno man, apparently a top 10 that includes every actor we call a legit upper-level GOAT - DePac, Nicholson, Brando, DDL with De Niro #1 is just too boring, huh?.... Anyway, here's the full list as a way of bumping it (link was in the OP) from 2018 ......it gets pretty bad after the top 11 but the summations of the actors are pretty on target.........and several people on this list have probably moved UP since 2018...........I have an interesting De Niro thing to add to this but it may need its own thread - .......or else this one may actually just turn into a "Robert De Niro thread" which somehow, mind-bogglingly we don't actually have after 5 years...... 1 Robert De Niro 2 James Stewart 3 Marlon Brando 4 Humphrey Bogart 5 Jack Nicholson 6 Al Pacino 7 Daniel Day-Lewis 8 Toshiro Mifune 9 Charlie Chaplin 10 Cary Grant 11 Marcello Mastroianni 12 John Wayne 13 Henry Fonda 14 Paul Newman 15 William Holden 16 Klaus Kinski 17 Dustin Hoffman 18 Gene Hackman 19 Clint Eastwood 20 Leonardo DiCaprio 21 Max von Sydow 22 Robert Mitchum 23 Brad Pitt 24 Philip Seymour Hoffman 25 Burt Lancaster 26 Jean-Paul Belmondo 27 Buster Keaton 28 Montgomery Clift 29 Tony Leung 30 Tom Cruise 31 Jean Gabin 32 James Cagney 33 Kirk Douglas 34 Bill Murray 35 Sean Connery 36 Tom Hanks 37 Denzel Washington 38 Clark Gable 39 Sean Penn 40 Joseph Cotton 41 Jean-Louis Trintignant 42 Edward Norton 43 Harrison Ford 44 Takashi Shimura 45 Joe Pesci 46 Laurence Olivier 47 Emil Jannings 48 Harvey Keitel 49 Joaquin Phoenix 50 Christian Bale 51 Paul Muni 52 Ryan Gosling 53 Ralph Fiennes 54 Chisu Ryu 55 Peter O’Toole 56 Heath Ledger 57 Morgan Freeman 58 Orson Welles 59 Jeff Bridges 60 Michael Caine 61 James Dean 62 Alain Delon 63 Steve McQueen 64 Martin Sheen 65 Warren Beatty 66 Anthony Hopkins 67 Robert Duvall 68 Johnny Depp 69 Frank Sinatra 70 Jack Lemmon 71 Gary Cooper 72 Peter Lorre 73 Edward G. Robinson 74 Bruce Willis 75 Samuel L. Jackson 76 Rod Steiger 77 Matt Damon 78 George C. Scott 79 George Clooney 80 John Cazale 81 Christopher Walken 82 Peter Sellers 83 Gunnar Bjornstrand 84 Robert Redford 85 Alec Guinness 86 John Hurt 87 Jean- Pierre Leaud 88 Robert Shaw 89 Richard Burton 90 John Goodman 91 Casey Affleck 92 Donald Sutherland 93 Russell Crowe 94 Roy Schieder 95 Maurice Chevalier 96 Ray Liotta 97 Kevin Spacey 98 Thomas Mitchell 99 Anthony Quinn 100 Willem Dafoe

Cool site even though their lists are suspect! Their director ranking.... Malle Kazan Huston Argento are all outside the 100, Park and Bong outside the 200.
But to the actor list.... first question is why cram all the Brits to the back? I think Bale is the only working Brit to make the Top 50....and he's #50. Who else made it: Caine and Hopkins....but that's it. They think Pitt is better than Olivier? They're drunk. Pitt and Ford in the 50 and their emphasis on archiveable films not perfs makes me think their ranking system is more career and success-oriented - I see you Cruise at #30. Even some of these guys I like, Holden, Fonda, Wayne..... they're just way too high when you leave off GOAT-worthys Finney and Depardieu and some I'd have srsly high like Cage, Peter Falk, James Earl Jones, Vincent Price.
They do have some good touches tho.... love seeing Peter Lorre make it and having Mitchum that high.

They do have some good touches tho.... love seeing Peter Lorre make it and having Mitchum that high.I liked @ 54 - Chisu Ryu - that's a relatively "whooooah" inspired pick relative to the list overall: They have Ralph Fiennes at 53 btw as another Brit ......I think after the very logical - even if it's not mine top 11- the list becomes erratic but yeah - very success-based ........I really liked their quick assessments though that are almost hard to argue with to me.......they are pretty accurate cheat sheets: stylistic innovations/traits: That top five performance list is pretty ridiculous (and makes me think I’m a little ridiculous for having him outside of my top 50 actors list here). He’s unhinged in A Bigger Splash– so verbal that he never shuts up. Yet, he can turn around and do a haunting work like Spider with Cronenberg where he hardly talks at all—just mumbles and squints. That’s range. He can play villains (Schindler, In Bruges and Harry Potter), bastards (Coriolanus a bigger splash) and complex, (also bastardly), but ultimately sympathetic figures (Quiz Show, English Patient, Constant Gardener). He’s the consummate pro. He started off with a bang in the 90’s (two Oscar winning films for best picture, leading man status) who has had a bit of a comeback of late (two of his best 5 performances since 2014). I can’t wait to see what he does next.

I've never seen that site before. I guess it's a good encyclopedia, but firstly.... I have to say THIS HOW I SEE IT:- Mifune is not #8 all time. Kurosawa guys gave him his reputation, but if you take the Kurosawa out of your mind and look at him without the Kurosawa bifocals he's guilty of the same things Cary Grant and John Wayne and Gary Cooper gets often blasted for. Playing one character (that twitchy samurai) for most of his life........ often gimmicky and a product of some unnecessarily unrealistic 50s acting. That being said, he ripped in Red Beard and it looked like he got more mature as he got older. Still, not Top 10 of all time. The only other guy I would say is not close to being Top 10 on that list is Cary Grant. - John Ford top 10 while Jean Renoir is 14? Bitch please. Renoir is DOUBLE the director that Ford is. This dude made these super sentimental movies always with some sobby banjo harmonica old tune about the good ol' america west or some shit like that that never has any effect on me. Also selling his product on the massive star power of John Wayne taking credit for shit that's largely Wayne's doing. I have no problem with Spielberg or Eastwood-lite sentimentality, but if you need sentimentality or actor star power to make you Top 10.... .. then fuck that shit. The problem is not that he's Top 100 or anything, it's that he's Top 10. Like seriously. -Also.... being that Malick has fallen HARD after The Tree of Life, what justifies him at #24? Are some people just hanging onto the past? Dude fell down like a rocket and what's worse is that he keeps insisting on making the same film again and again even after it became clear he's gotten progressively worse. He's become this rehashy guy making that same fast editing love story in the time of grass tales until people has gotten so tired of him, their minds have already moved on. Dude has like what.... 5 movies anyone cares about and that makes him #24? Josef von Sternberg has more than 5 relevant movies alone and he's apparently #26 despite the fact that he never fell as hard as Malick. Malick is basically a poor man's Walker Percy, and while true intellectuals like Chris Marker are nowhere to be found in even the Top 250, imposter intellectual Malick is #24. I laugh at that.

Brad Pitt is #23 and Gary Oldman isn't in the list? This ranking is simply ridiculous.

pitt is a great actor, very versatile with a great filmography He can certainly do comedy and his filmography is one of the reasons he's ranked that high certainly. I love these little summaries and his is noticeably a good analysis: stylistic innovations/traits:
Pitt has been known as just about the best looking guy on the planet for 25 years but his performances are extremely varied and unarguably captivating despite his good looks. He’s gone out of his way to avoid clichés, ugly himself up, and taking on challenging roles with auteurs. He has 20 films in the archives and counting, He’s paired with a great top 100 all-time auteur (Fincher- 3X), been in some of the best films of the last 20 years (Tree of life, Fight Club, Inglourious, Jesse James) and has great depth in the filmography. Between Fight Club (1999) and Babel (2006) I think Pitt felt a little lost (this is Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Troy—but then seemed to rededicate himself to pursuing art over commerce and the ensuing run from 2006 thru 2013 was really impressive featuring 8-9 films that belong in the top 10 of their respective years— very few actors historically can match a run like that with their entire career– and this doesn’t even include his two best Fincher films or his rise to fame in the 90’s.

Burton is tragically low. So are Ed Norton and Orson Welles but I'm a fanbot.
Good to see Robert Shaw made it. Matt Damon was another pleasant surprise.

One of the best long form interviews with De Niro here - covers a lot of stuff about acting, the future of movies, what he's doing now - briefly - and also recent performances he's liked (Chastain and DiCap). I think he's setting up his 2022 Oscar run tbh - The Godfather thing at the Oscars, this unlikely event which he usually doesn't do........
Highly recommended - this is quite recent:

I would absolutely put Stewart in my top 10 today. He's a timeless great. Some good names but the order is wacky. Jack Lemmon should be higher. Put him in Brad Pitt's position. Good rankings for phenomenal talents Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Ralph Fiennes - and cool to see John Hurt, Robert Shaw, John Cazale, Robert Mitchum and Edward G. Robinson. No Albert Finney is a crime. Hmm... cool to see Jean-Louis Trintignant. I'm biased because I'm currently in love with him. Belmondo may be cooler but he should be higher than him.

The amazing thing about Jimmy Stewart is that he's considered the best "Pre-Brando" American actor at all and almost exclusively (he was on our all-time MAR poll too - at number 8 iirc) - when in his time, while Stewart was beloved and acclaimed but was never considered THE guy.
In his day he wasn't the most Oscar nominated actor of his era, Tracy doubles his nods, he didn't do theater in the same way as titans like Henry Fonda or Fredric March, he didn't win the most Oscars - he won 1 - where March and Cooper won 2.......... several of his films were sort of flops on release including maybe his 2 most lasting movies ........Vertigo and It's a Wonderful Life.
If you actually look at the full arc of his career - he's exhibit A in why the long game always trumps the short game for actors which I say a lot on this board for how we can't often differentiate an actor's "career" from their "talent". Stewart regularly tops actors from subsequent decades .....

futuretrunks - It's early on....... about @ 6:05 - mentions Chastain in Tammy Faye specifically, and DiCap, Blanchett, seemingly this year - hard to tell exactly if he meant lately or in general........and Bale - really good long form interview imo.......the interviewer does a good job keeping him engaged I thought

A revised list De Niro, Stewart, Brando are still the top 3 - Mifune jumps to 4th, Pacino up 1 spot to 5th..... urbanpatrician mentioned he thought Mifune was too high at 8 already ...... I would expect there's been some movement further down on this list too - but not sure if they will actually do a full "actors list" again - this is all they've updated on the main page: thecinemaarchives.com/category/actors/ Previous list - from 20181 Robert De Niro 2 James Stewart 3 Marlon Brando 4 Humphrey Bogart 5 Jack Nicholson 6 Al Pacino 7 Daniel Day-Lewis 8 Toshiro Mifune 9 Charlie Chaplin 10 Cary Grant 11 Marcello Mastroianni 12 John Wayne 13 Henry Fonda 14 Paul Newman 15 William Holden 16 Klaus Kinski 17 Dustin Hoffman 18 Gene Hackman 19 Clint Eastwood 20 Leonardo DiCaprio 21 Max von Sydow 22 Robert Mitchum 23 Brad Pitt 24 Philip Seymour Hoffman 25 Burt Lancaster 26 Jean-Paul Belmondo 27 Buster Keaton 28 Montgomery Clift 29 Tony Leung 30 Tom Cruise 31 Jean Gabin 32 James Cagney 33 Kirk Douglas 34 Bill Murray 35 Sean Connery 36 Tom Hanks 37 Denzel Washington 38 Clark Gable 39 Sean Penn 40 Joseph Cotton 41 Jean-Louis Trintignant 42 Edward Norton 43 Harrison Ford 44 Takashi Shimura 45 Joe Pesci 46 Laurence Olivier 47 Emil Jannings 48 Harvey Keitel 49 Joaquin Phoenix 50 Christian Bale 51 Paul Muni 52 Ryan Gosling 53 Ralph Fiennes 54 Chisu Ryu 55 Peter O’Toole 56 Heath Ledger 57 Morgan Freeman 58 Orson Welles 59 Jeff Bridges 60 Michael Caine 61 James Dean 62 Alain Delon 63 Steve McQueen 64 Martin Sheen 65 Warren Beatty 66 Anthony Hopkins 67 Robert Duvall 68 Johnny Depp 69 Frank Sinatra 70 Jack Lemmon 71 Gary Cooper 72 Peter Lorre 73 Edward G.

They apparently will be redoing the whole list - surprised - so if you dig this kind of stuff you can check every day or 2 to see how high your favorites rank now - no one new cracked the top 10 in the last 5 years - just the order changed a bit: thecinemaarchives.com/2023 Top 101 -De Niro 2 -Stewart 3 -Brando 4- Mifune 5 -Pacino 6 -Nicholson 7 -DDL B- Bogart 9 -Grant 10-Chaplin
Previous list - from 20181 Robert De Niro 2 James Stewart 3 Marlon Brando 4 Humphrey Bogart 5 Jack Nicholson 6 Al Pacino 7 Daniel Day-Lewis 8 Toshiro Mifune 9 Charlie Chaplin 10 Cary Grant 11 Marcello Mastroianni 12 John Wayne 13 Henry Fonda 14 Paul Newman 15 William Holden 16 Klaus Kinski 17 Dustin Hoffman 18 Gene Hackman 19 Clint Eastwood 20 Leonardo DiCaprio 21 Max von Sydow 22 Robert Mitchum 23 Brad Pitt 24 Philip Seymour Hoffman 25 Burt Lancaster 26 Jean-Paul Belmondo 27 Buster Keaton 28 Montgomery Clift 29 Tony Leung 30 Tom Cruise 31 Jean Gabin 32 James Cagney 33 Kirk Douglas 34 Bill Murray 35 Sean Connery 36 Tom Hanks 37 Denzel Washington 38 Clark Gable 39 Sean Penn 40 Joseph Cotton 41 Jean-Louis Trintignant 42 Edward Norton 43 Harrison Ford 44 Takashi Shimura 45 Joe Pesci 46 Laurence Olivier 47 Emil Jannings 48 Harvey Keitel 49 Joaquin Phoenix 50 Christian Bale 51 Paul Muni 52 Ryan Gosling 53 Ralph Fiennes 54 Chisu Ryu 55 Peter O’Toole 56 Heath Ledger 57 Morgan Freeman 58 Orson Welles 59 Jeff Bridges 60 Michael Caine 61 James Dean 62 Alain Delon 63 Steve McQueen 64 Martin Sheen 65 Warren Beatty 66 Anthony Hopkins 67 Robert Duvall 68 Johnny Depp 69 Frank Sinatra 70 Jack Lemmon 71 Gary Cooper 72 Peter Lorre 73 Edward G.

Tony Leung becomes the highest contemporary - still working actor - at #12 (Mastroianni @ 11) - that's an insane jump - he was number 29 just 5 years ago. Only Day-Lewis tops him for the "post 70s or earlier" male actors. 1 -De Niro 2 -Stewart 3 -Brando 4- Mifune 5 -Pacino 6 -Nicholson 7 -DDL B- Bogart 9 -Grant 10-Chaplin 11-Mastroianni 12-Leung

* Much more odd with the next 4 actors........Wayne makes sense for filmography and uniqueness but not depth - but Brando couldn't "be" him and neither could anyone else.........Fonda for filmography and inventing a type later exemplified in Lemmon/Hanks makes more acting sense than Wayne.........DiCaprio is going for that Brando, DePac, Nicholson "top 5 Americans" tier one day.......and Pitt while lacking dramatic chops tops all of the flawed 80s generation that preceded him for ability to do it "all" to some degree - even if they are better at straight drama: * Pitt can go dark better than Hanks, can go light better than Spacey/Dafoe/Penn, has done comic work far better than Washington, his filmography tops all of them - except Hanks - and tops Cage too........he wouldn't be in my top 100 but I sort of get it in an American-centric way. * Both rose from OUATIH ....... * Interestingly both the 60s and 80s - the weaker American generations for comparisons imo are blanked atm....unless you put Nicholson in the 60s which I don't myself 1 -De Niro 2 -Stewart 3 -Brando 4- Mifune 5 -Pacino 6 -Nicholson 7 -DDL B- Bogart 9 -Grant 10-Chaplin 11-Mastroianni 12-Leung 13-Wayne 14-Fonda 15-Pitt 16-DiCaprio

Pitt being on here makes sense, I think he’s way overrated though, and it’s doubly surprising that he’s above DiCaprio.
Also, having checked the prior list - no Gary Oldman? His filmography isn’t perfect (especially due to his post Contender slump) but he’s so influential and highly regarded among other actors that it’s a bit silly that he hadn’t placed at all. Maybe he’ll replace Spacey, as he seems like an obvious choice to miss on the new list.

Newman is 17 Hackman is 18I can make a far more convincing case for these 2 being higher than I can for Pitt and DiCaprio @15, 16 - in 2023 at least....Dustin Hoffman is still absent but I assume he will make the top 20.....(?)

Holden & Mitchum @ 21 / 22 - really American-centric in this stretch though I'm guessing that will change soon and keep sone big American stars maybe out of the top 30..... Holden is a clear example of a star who makes the list for his amazing 50s filmography - across a lot of genres - and also he sort of is the one 1950's actor who comes somewhat close to pulling off what Brando did in the 70s - a big classic or two (The Wild Bunch, Network) when all the other big name film actors from the 50s had sort of disappeared or faltered a bit or passed away........ thecinemaarchives.com/ 1 -De Niro 2 -Stewart 3 -Brando 4 -Mifune 5 -Pacino 6 -Nicholson 7 -DDL B -Bogart 9 -Grant 10-Chaplin 11-Mastroianni 12-Leung 13-Wayne 14-Fonda 15-Pitt 16-DiCaprio 17-Newman 18-Hackman 19-Eastwood 20-Dustin Hoffman 21-Holden 22-Mitchum

Max Von Sydow & Emil Jannings come in @ 23 / 24 snapping the recent run of US actors @ 10 in a row.... Jannings had a huge jump - from 47 last time - so 23 spots - the biggest mover so far........only 5 spots to go within the top 30......a lot of Americans are going to miss the top 30 I think...... thecinemaarchives.com/ 1 -De Niro 2 -Stewart 3 -Brando 4 -Mifune 5 -Pacino 6 -Nicholson 7 -DDL B -Bogart 9 -Grant 10-Chaplin 11-Mastroianni 12-Leung 13-Wayne 14-Fonda 15-Pitt 16-DiCaprio 17-Newman 18-Hackman 19-Eastwood 20-Dustin Hoffman 21-Holden 22-Mitchum 23-Von Sydow 24-Jannings

How does everyone feel about this list?: linkAs questionable as some of the choices/rankings are (Chloe Moretz over Charlie Chaplin ), this helped me get to know a lot of people back in the day... *On a second look, I shall edit the "questionable" to downright ridiculous ..... still, have feelings for it.
