suh_fan93 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I like Robert De Niro's older movies (Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Taxi Driver) so he is one of my all time favorites. I like DiCaprio's movies too. The Wolf of Wall Street was insane. Catch Me If You Can was great. I also like William H Macy, Tom Sizemore, Ray Liotta. Pacino in Scarface, Heat and as Sonny in the Godfather series. Christian Bale in all 3 of the Batman's which I love. I avoid Julia Roberts movies as well as Shia Ledoof. I'm also a sucker for a good Arnold old school action flick. Don't hate!

ShawnWatson Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's difficult to think of an actor with more chops than Daniel Day-Lewis. Best actor ever. Quote Link to comment

Hooked on Huskers Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Costner was in Open Range, so that gets him an A for me. The gun fight in that movie is simply amazing. Hiring guns and corrupt marshal's gang (bad guys) was an Imperial Stormtrooper's ancestors. I agree, amazing but unrealistic. Quote Link to comment

Especially crooked Denton Baxter was shot numerous times in close range (Boss) yet still alive and conscious ! Or else wearing bulletproof vest or maybe BB gun. And Charley & Boss equipped with stealth gadget and thus immune bullet paths. Yes, unrealistic I say. However I enjoyed this movie except ending scenes. Typical love story and happy ending . I prefer Charley or Sue or both died after gunfight victory ..... like Morgan Wyatt in Tombstone movie. Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I think guys don't like Leonardo 'cause he's super attractive in a "pretty" way. I also think that's why he hasn't won an Oscar. I think he was deserving for 2-3 movies he was in but his good looks got in the way. Quote Link to comment

I think he was deserving for 2-3 movies he was in but his good looks got in the way. Yeah, that's true. But it seems like DiCaprio has taken on more scruffy, seedy roles lately. He certainly wasn't a pretty boy in The Departed. For me, I put Leonardo DiCaprio in the same category as Kevin Costner, Robert Redford and Tom Cruise. I don't care much for their acting skills, but I almost always like the movies they appear in. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Daniel Day-Lewis and Christian Bale are heads above others. Leo, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, George Clooney are on the next lower tier for me. I used to like Pacino and DeNiro but they just can't get it done anymore. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I think guys don't like Leonardo 'cause he's super attractive in a "pretty" way. I also think that's why he hasn't won an Oscar. I think he was deserving for 2-3 movies he was in but his good looks got in the way. I think McConaughey got in the way last year, just about any other year he takes home an Oscar for The Wolf of Wall Street. Kind of hard to argue with McConaughey though, he won an Oscar for Dallas Buyer's Club, well-deserved, but that was his second best performance of the year (True Detective being his best). Plus he gets extra credit for the chest pounding thing in The Wolf of Wall Street. But I agree DiCaprio is a really under-appreciated actor. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Three or more movie repeats? My first thoughts ...... Back to the Future - at least 5 times Shining - ditto; at least 5 times Forrest Gump - ditto Rocky - ditto. However Rocky II thru Rocky whatever, sucks (and corny too) Airplane! - ditto The Postman (1997) - ditto. Very unusually huh? But I loved it for some reason Terminator 2 - ditto Wizard of Oz - ditto Night of the Living Dead (B/W original) - ditto Full Metal Jacket especially Marines boot camp scenes - ditto or course some more .... How about you? Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah I think I've seen all those movies at least 5 times, except for The Postman. I don't even . . . Quote Link to comment

Movies don't have to be realistic, they are suppose to be entertaining and escape from everyday life. Besides, if you have ever read any history about the old west, missing at point blank range was very common. Those guns were not very accurate and the misfired all the time. You don't have to look any farther than the gun fight at OK Corral to see inaccurate gun fighting at close range. By the way how did Wyatt Earp come out of that without a scratch?
