Well, I don't think anybody can understand or forgive your ridiculous Grint loving, nor your Labeouf fandom, but any girl who rates Jeremy Irons, Moritz Bleibtreu, Morgan Freeman and Jean-Pierre Leaud is fine by me.
Will you do one with actresses too?
Good luck!
Tom Hollander? Really?
You had me at number 19!
Another Shia fan, good to have you on the team!
Great to see Brando at # 1, he along with Gregory Peck and James Dean form my holy trilogy of screen G-ds.
Distinct. I like most of the people on here.
I'm becoming a Leo fan, although I don't subscribe to his large fanbase. I prefer to think he's the best actor this millenium. (02-06 at least)
Tom Hollander is brilliant as both a stage and film actor! Glad to see him on your list (although I would've rated him much higher!) ;) His versatility is truly amazing when for example, comparing/contrasting his role as Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Collins vs. Lord Cutler Beckett of the East India Trading Co. in Pirates 2 and 3. I hope that you will take time to explore his other work! He is currently featured on TNT's new series "The Company" as MI6 agent Adrian (Kim) Philby.
I love Rupert Grint. I think he's the best of the trio. Good job w this!
Hey! ahem, before you come to the conclusion any sane person would probably arrive at, I'm not a stalker :D I just stumbled across your blog one day when obsessively searching for anything about the atonement soundtrack online, noticed you took maths and further maths for a level, that you want to do maths at uni, and was shocked. Partly because I'm precisely the same? I didn't know there was anyone as insane as me that subjects themselves to both maths-es (gosh...FP1...*groans*) and who also has this unnatural obsession with films and film soundtracks. Apparantly so.
After obsessively reading all of your articles, (again, I stress: non-stalker) I realised however, how completely amateur I am when it comes to films, books, and all manner of things I'd prided myself in. The amount of films you've seen - the amount of GOOD films you've seen, may I add - your amazing style of writing about them, and the critique you have for their soundtracks - I felt utterly humbled, and I wanted to congratulate you. You've definately inspired me to watch more films, especially the more classic ones, and to regard them in a better light. Thanks so much :D and, by the way, all of your icons are gorgeous. Where are the from. and by-the-by-the-way, after reading your alfred hitchcock article, I was wondering if you'd ever seen Marnie?
anywhoo, I'll leave you to wonder why anyone would ever send such a bloated message to a stranger...and again, I'll reiterate: non-stalker :D xxx
