^ Ah! Agreed! How could I miss that... Gary Oldman is one of my favourite actors. He is so diverse and I've never seen him play a bad role... including the several video games in which I was surprised to hear his voice!

He is also the severely disfigured guy in Hannibal in a role that deserves a lot more praise. He is of course superb too in The Firm (the football hooligan film not the Tom Cruise crapfest)

What movies have you hated of his recently? Also by younger do you mean Chinatown/ The Shining sort of younger? Because both of those along with Batman and Mars Attacks are some of my favorite movies ever.

They can keep that That Anger Management, The Departed, Somethings Gotta Give, Bucket List bullshit. And yes I will repeat that, I thought the Bucket List sucked. Predictable beyond belief. And The Departed- been done to death. The others are no brainers.

I would say (give or take a few movies) anything before the 90s.

I loved the departed. But i love those kind of films, dirty cops, gangsters, lots of violence (Scorsese is a genius). Plus it had the rolling stones and dropkick murphys in the soundtrack. For me it was instant win :p

Hmm... I haven't seen any of those movies

I guess I'll keep my Jack Nicholson watching more early focused I guess. Don't want to spoil my impression if him.

It's a pretty diverse subject.
Well it is all of the above and then ...

You are either searching for new movies and for your own opinion in them, or you're just another copy of Roger Ebert.

Mark Hammil - Not known as a great actor, but when the Star Wars prequel trilogy was released, it made me appreciate his acting abilities that much more.

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Seriously, how can you not watch a movie with him in it and think "this dude is the boss". Once again, maybe not a great "actor" per se, but his personality and precense is undeniable.
