Time to revisit the post. Hope fully I am wise by 3 years.
Al Pacino - Easily the actor with the most demanding screen presence of our time. After watching The Godfather films multiple times I believe no one could have done that role. Short only in stature but a giant in histrionics. The only actor who could kiss a guy and still make it look terrorizing. If only he had done more films. Best acting moment would be crying over his dead girl in Godfather 3. Best Film : The godfather 1
Robert De Niro: Quiet simply the most versatile actor living or dead in any time to my knowledge. Set standards for actors to follow across the globe. The dedication shown as Jake La Motta. I wished he had an earlier debut. Fav acting Moment - The russian roulette scene in Vietnam from The Deer Hunter. Best Film: Gf-2/Taxi
Tom Hanks: Incredible, Charismatic and always a pleasure to watch. Brings out performances that arrests viewers across all ages. Second to None he works like a charm. Thank heavens he diverted to Dramas in the 90's.
Best Film: Saving Private ryan.
Fav acting Moment: There's no crying in baseball from A league of thier own.
Jack Nicholson: An actor of a kind. Can't be put in any category. Very unique. Has evolved a lot from the Shining to the departed.
Fav acting Moment: Court room scene in A few Good men.
Kevin Spacey: Recently watched American Beauty. Lester Burnham is an American Class act.
Honorable Mentions: Brad Pitt/Dicaprio/Johnny Depp/RDJ
Haven't seen enough of Brando to form an opinion but from GF1/A Street car named Desire and Apocalypse now must be surely among the top rack.
