I have no problem with Washington at number 1 if Daniel Day Lewis is really retired. Oldman and Phoenix are welcomed. But no, for the most part I don't agree. Tom Hanks has no business being that low: *spoiler for those who haven't seen Captain Phillips* Omissions? I'm always going to put on a cape for my Ralph Fiennes, even though people don't think of him *sigh*. No Anthony Hopkins? Still working and gave the best performance by an actor of the decade so far. |

pacinoyes - What's your guess as to why we were shown this list? It can't possibly be because it had Denzel at #1 right?..... given what we know about the OP

To be fair, Tom Hanks hasn't had the best time recently ( winning a Razzie for Elvis), so maybe that's why his placement isn't as high. I did think Hopkins as well. I'm kinda surprised Adam Driver isn't there. Not because I'm a huge fan neccesarily, but because he's so prolific and popular with auteurs. I do like Ralph Fiennes , but what's the last film thing he did that really popped for him? Just wondering. I did like the Hugh Jackman mention because he's underrated. And Samuel L Jackson has always deserved to be on these type of lists more, as he's taken for granted. Robert Downey Jr might be dealing with recency bias because of his soon to be Oscar winning turn in Oppenheimer, but I'm not sure he should be that high. I will always go to bat for Matt Damon. That is an omission for me.. |

He was always going to cry about this list because of the top placed actor, but why the fuck should that be my problem? Do you take time to point out every time he has a boner for Pacino, DeNiro or Brando, which is pretty much every day? It's a list that's 12 hours old from a site I read regularly. It's perfect conversation fodder for this board. So I should not post anything that has Washington in a positive position for fear of your judgement. lol! Nah, buddy! Will never happen. No need to align yourself as an ass kisser to the man, even if it was just to stir the pot (he really didn't need you to do any stirring). I mean we! |

I think Dafoe would deserve a spot as well.
I do think it's interesting how some actors peak and then fall out of favor. I feel like a decade or more ago, the likes of Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen would have been percieved as huge omissions, but they don't seem to generate as much passion anymore, despite having done some good work in recent years.

Not really movie stars, but these two are pretty great as well.

I'm not deriding you, but I just find it amusing how big of a Denzel stan you are. You stand out in your standom for Denzel unmatched by anyone else here for any other actor. You remind me of a few Emma Stone stans on awards forums. Any lazy comment or comparison made about her is pounced on instantly by her stanboys claiming she can do everything and anything on the holy planet. This is one of my favorite latest nuggets: "we would all just end up like puppy & chucky sucking each other off in public and pretending that The Preachers's Wife showed a gift for comedy that deseved a BAFTA or some dumb shit ......" LMAO |

LMAO Yeah, that's nice  . I don't really give a flying fuck how much you it amuses you that I'm a " Denzel stan". I actually love how much it pisses people like you off and get a kick out of it . It's just fuel for me. I stan an actor the New York Times called The Greatest Actor Of The 21st Century. I stan an actor regularly called the GOAT by peers, media and fans alike. It's like telling a basketball fan they are supposed to be embarrassed because they "Stan" Michael Jordan hard  . It's fucking dumb. I'm a movie fan who stans someone who can credibly regarded as arguably the greatest actor of all-time. That should be considered a good thing as we are supposed to be passionate about the best. Like I said, it's interesting that someone else can stan say Pacino, just as hard as I might Denzel, but it's seen as socially acceptable here and not "amusing". Hmmm...wonder what the difference is? I've been nothing but polite to you and engaged you respectfully for however many years, in spite of the fact that you've had always had this weird condescending attitude with me (which I've always ignored for the sake of keeping the peace), but only now seem brave enough to be brazen about how you really feel. You woke up and chose violence, and now you got it. If you want to throw off the mask and act like an outright dickhead to me instead of throwing low-key shade here and there , then congrats. Don't engage me again you utter twat. I don't play around and I prefer it when my enemies tell me who they are to my face. I don't suffer fools gladly. And you're a fool...."dude". |
