Seydou Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Lol First name that should pop up is Daniel Day Lewis. Nothing greater in our lifetime How does a man disappear for years, come back for one movie and scoop the Oscars. How? About Denzel, don't piss man off. Early Denzel was good with different roles. Since training day all he's played is.. just Denzel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badman Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Brad Pitt needs to be in the mix Also Anthony Hopkins Cant forget about Matthew McConaughey as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambino Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Johnny Depp has to be one of the best due to the range of characters he's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kompressor Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Daniel Day Lewis was the first name that came to mind tbh. Remember a few of us sneaking in to watch Gangs of New York at the cinema when it came out. Was mesmorised by the performance. Honourable mention to Denzel; he's probably my favourite actor.

rappy rob Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 50 cent has to be up there among the best actors 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james00 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Jake Gyllenhaall (Range) Daniel Day Lewis (consistency/intensity) Leo Dicaprio (intensity) Denzel Washington (powerful) Anthony Hopkins (intensity/chilling) The thing is some actors are not selective when choosing a screenplay or working with directors and so the amount of shit they have done i cant rate them. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Jack Nicholson, Samuel Jackson etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seydou Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 If Will Smith was better with his selection of roles, him or Denzel? I personally feel Will is the better actor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james00 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Will has more range but i don't know if he can deliver a more powerful performance. Compare persuit of happiness, ali, seven pounds to the hurricane, malcom x, glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare persuit of happiness, ali, seven pounds to the hurricane, malcom x, glory Good comparison, would those roles be suited for Will, I don't know. I can see Malcolm though. He did manage Ali quite well. Saying that, Denzel would've killed Pursuit of Happiness. Just now, Thizz said: Will Smith hasn't had a good film in about 10 years As I said, his selection of movies have been awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heero Yuy Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Will Smiths more powerful performances are just good within the context of Will's normal acting. Don't think they've been really good when you compare them to the actors mentioned in this thread. Edward Norton and Christian Bale are two of my personal favourites. Norton supposed be a nutter to work with in real life, which is why I think he doesn't get as many roles these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thizz Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Bale in The Machinist ????? James Gandolfini in The Sopranos Christopher Waltz in Inglorious Basterds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
