RM's comment about Sean Penn (who I find terribly overrated), got me thinking about this...

 

Who are your best actors and actresses of the generation, and by that, let's limit this to those in the 30-50 range that RM mentioned....

Off the top of my head, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, Don Cheadle, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey. Not sure if they fall in the 30-50 demographic, though.

I'll keep my list as condensed as possible....

 

Best actors:

Leonardo DiCaprio

Daniel Day-Lewis

Christian Bale

Don Cheadle

 

Best actresses:

Nicole Kidman

Sandra Bullock

Hilary Swank

Naomi Watts

I know a lot of you aren't a huge fan of his character, but I don't think you can create a list without...

 

Mel Gibson

 

He has some huge movies like Braveheart, The Patriot, some of the most successful series of movies with Mad Max, Lethal Weapons. Some other great movies like We Were Soldiers, Signs, and etc. And lastly to show even more that he does it across generations, he was the voice in one of the top Disney movies, Pocohontas.

 

I feel like you have to throw Will Smith's name in the mix as well.

 

As for actresses...

Julia Roberts!

^My beef with those three, albeit a much lesser extent with Will Smith, is that every movie they seem to play the same role over and over again. I think their range is extremely limited. JMO.

While I will agree that he plays the same role a lot, I will have to disagree overall.

 

Pretty good movies where Mel Gibson isn't the psychotic guy trying to kill people...

 

Conspiracy Theory

Signs

What Women Want

Maverick

Man Without a Face

Chicken Run & Pocohontas

 

And the fact that he is in two of the top movies of our generation, Braveheart and The Patriot (both in my opinion), I believe that the list will not be complete without his name being mentioned.

Will Smith has began to do movies much different than what he was originally doing.

 

I thought he did a very good job in Ali, The Pursuit of Happyness, and Seven Pounds.

 

Mel Gibson...I don't like so much.

That's why I said Smith to a lesser extent because he has been attempting movies that aren't his normal role. :thumb:
