Finney being so low should make people question DDL being so high (which we know is coming) - love them both but if you're rating DDL that high on limited great work in your list (5-8 performances?), Finney really doubles his amount of great work.
Happy to see Auteuil!

Choices are kind of boring so far but I guess this is the consensus. I mean, Cary Grant is alright but I'm not so sure about him being one of the 30 best actors of all time, lol.

Cary Grant getting more praise than Bogart and Oldman? Grant was a funny clown act in some classic films, but *beep* Bogart has always been ranked way higher than #25 in most polls. |
