A few ground rules for this top 5. We are sticking to movies only, no tv stars. Also, we are talking about male only. This was hard enough. I am not throwing both sexes in there. Here is my top 5. The top 2 to me are above the rest.
1. Paul Newman - I love his movies. I love his style.
2. Clint Eastwood - The man with no name. Who makes a better western (not John Wayne)? No one. He is the star amongst stars.
3. Jack Nicholson - One who flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, Chinatown, just to name a few. This guy was awesome. Not sure so about his movies today...
4a. DeNiro 4b. Pacino - It is hard for me to pick between the two. Both are so good and similar. I am putting them together. It is my top 5. I can do what I want!
5. Harrison Ford - He has been in too many of my favorites not to be included. Indiana Jones and Han Solo...come on. Even is later movies like Clear and Present Danger are good.
A little shout out goes to Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, Morgan Freedman, and the godfather - Marlon Brando.
Happy Wednesday!

If we could go with an individual performance, Edward Norton in American History X would definitely be in my top 5. Maybe some Wednesday, you could go for top 5 best individual performances.
1. Adam Sandler
2. Will Smith
3. Tom Hanks
4. Mel Gibson
5. Harrison Ford
A lot of these classic great actors are in "guy" movies that I haven't really seen. For example, I just saw my first Dirty Harry movie this past weekend (and LOVED it -- why have I not seen more?), and I haven't seen most Paul Newman or Jack Nicholson movies. Anyway, I'm giving it my own try here...
1. Sean Connery: I love him through the ages -- from 007, to Untouchables, to The Rock and Indiana Jones.
2. Harrison Ford: you forgot his role as Dr Richard Kimball
3. Tom Hanks: of course I most love his comedies, but he does the serious stuff great too: Apollo 13, Forrest Gump, Castaway.
4. Al Pacino: Godfather and Heat
5. Johnny Depp: funny, creepy, quirky -- especially in Sleepy Hollow, priceless.
Nods to: Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood, James Cagney, Anthony Hopkins
Begins and ends with Paul Walker. Oh wait, that's a WORST actors list.
1. Clint Eastwood
2. Al Pacino
3. Morgan Freeman
4. Jack Nicholson
5. Robert DeNiro
