I can't believe Tom Hanks is not on this list... :eek:

 

He gets my vote.

Rounders

American History X

Fight Club

The Incredible Hulk

The Illusionist

The 25th Hour was his best performance outside of American History X.

[BoondockSaint]

1. Russell Crowe

2. Denzel Washington

3. Tom Hanks

4. Edward Norton

5. Johnny Depp

6. Tom Cruise

7. Christian Bale

8. Will Smith

9. Robert Downey Jr

10. Brad Pitt

[oldrambler]

What I can't see is how Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt are even on thiis list. I know that some like them but is jmo that they are terrible. Especially Cruise.

 

As for te best..on this list I would pick Denzel Washington very high. I don't know if these two are considered this generation or not (they are not on the list) but Tom Hanks imo is the best actor. I also like Jack Nicholson as well.

[MJAlltheWay24]

I said other...just because I am a little unhappy that Mel Gibson wasn't even listed.

Edward Norton is great in:

 

Rounders

The Illusionist

 

Primal fear is one of his best acting jobs. It is a must see.

[Royal Uncle]

Ed Harris. He is not always the lead actor, but if he is in a movie, I make it a point to watch it. He makes everything he does better.

A very good actor, and you left out one of his best performances. The Professional. A classic.

 

Tom Hanks has to be in this list. I would also add Val Kilmer to the list. Also, not sure if they are too "old" for this list, but Pacino and De Niro also should be in there with a shout.

Which Brad Pitt movies have you actually seen?

 

He isn't my pick for the top but if you are questioning his credibility and not that of Ben Affleck than I don't know if you even watch movies.
