    Gah, can't believe no one's mentioned my fave, Paul Newman. Cool Hand Luke, The Hustler, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid... and even in his newer movies he's great.

    Can't think of an actress at the moment, all I can think of is hot ones.... I wonder why that is....

    I think he's highly underrated.
    Did anyone see The Machinist?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Yeah, talk about a mind screw...
    great flick for anyone into movies like Dark City
    or Memento....

    and the weight Christian Bale lost for the film has to be seen to be believed
    it's almost like CGI was used
    plus.. I read that he lost somewhere close to 75 lbs for the role, than gained that weight back plus 50 lbs in bulk for Batman Begins..
    the human body never ceases to amaze me

    He sold me as one of the best Batmen yet. I saw only the previews of "The Machinist", and it was unreal how little he was.:eek:

    Run Ronnie Run

    In any event, I think it was a joke. His winery is much more interesting.

    jenna jameson, talk about acting, no one does it better ;):D .

    I have to say al pacino is one of the best actors. If you guys haven't seen donnie brasco, your missing a great movie. That (in my opinion of course) is one of his best performances.

    I like Scent of a Woman for his "newer" performances. As for the old stuff... God, everything is good. Serpico, Godfather, Carlito's Way.... lots of good stuff to see if you haven't seen it.

    Julia Roberts
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
