Hooked on Huskers Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 BTW, I enjoyed older movies. New movies, 5 years or later, basically sucks. My first thoughts ....... Best Actors: Jack Nicholson - Flew over the cuckoo nest, Shining, Batman, Terms of Endearment and Anger Management ... top notched, perfect cast Leonardo DiCaprio - my co-worker guys hate him but believe it or not, I liked him .... Aviator, Catch Me if You Can, Wolf of Wall Street; all excellent Kurt Russell - I enjoyed Snake Plissken character and Overboard, Capt. Ron and 3000 miles to Graceland movies (all low IMDb ratings but tough!) Jim Carrey - Dumb and Dumber, Truman Show, Majestic ... both comedy and serious plots So-So: Gene Hackman - probably move to best actor list but sometime ridiculous stories like Replacement movie (terrible !). However, I like Hoosiers. Tom Hanks - lately pretty good but earlier age, sucks Clint Eastwood - for some reason ..... Harrison Ford - see Clint Dislike: Kevin Costner - terrible IMO except Postman and Field of Dreams .. so-so performance Gene Wilder - terrible and corny, all movies Will Smith Best Actress: Probably Cher - especially Mask, Silkwood, Mermaids Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 i like kevin costner in jfk, but otherwise i get why people do not like him as an actor. For me, it's Costner's deadpan, no emotion delivery. Much like Robert Redford, who I also thought was a terrible actor (but was in great movies). I like almost every Kevin Coster movie I've seen. Love the move Tin Cup. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Costner was pretty good in Dances with Wolves i thought. Have any of you been to Costner's restaurant in Deadwood, South Dakota?. Had a pretty good prime rib there once... Anyway... Quote Link to comment

Street Novelist Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 So-So: Gene Hackman - probably move to best actor list but sometime ridiculous stories like Replacement movie (terrible !). However, I like Hoosiers. Tom Hanks - lately pretty good but earlier age, sucks Clint Eastwood - for some reason ..... Harrison Ford - see Clint Those men are all legends. I find it beyond ridiculous that you think their careers have just been "so-so." 3 Quote Link to comment

Also I don't see how Tombstone failed to be mentioned with Kurt Russel but Captain Ron was. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Costner was in Open Range, so that gets him an A for me. The gun fight in that movie is simply amazing. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 It's difficult to think of an actor with more chops than Daniel Day-Lewis. 2 Quote Link to comment
