No. That's one of the ones I have not seen.

Check it out. An Australian western. Very arty. You'll love it. :)

some of my favs are the already mentioned PSH, Tim Robbins in Shawshank, Morgan Freeman in just about anything, Gene Hackman in Royal Tenenbaums.

Somebody mentioned Segal earlier, so I will say that Tommy Lee Jones plays the nutjob in that perfectly

No sh*t. It's like asking, "Did you ever hear of this British cat named Laurence Olivier?.

Is Gloryhole Creampies 6 close enough?

Civil War drama, great film.

Tommy Lee Jones is a guy who can pull off an Oscar whenever he feels like it.

He played an escaped slave fighting in a colored Union regiment. He won an Oscar for the role.

Glory is my second favorite movie of all time, behind only Casablanca. Magnificent film.

Without a doubt! He was great, as was Morgan Freeman. Easily one of my top five movies of all time.

Sully 03-19-2008 09:55 AM

Now that I think of it, Val Kilmer done some cool shit, as well.

RockChalk is the one that said that Denzel was the worst actor of all time. I assumed he hadn't heard of Ben.

Five pages and no Ed Norton?

Ed Norton's probably one of the most gifted actors (multi-talented as a screenwriter as well) out there. While he's been great in everything, his turn in "Primal Fear" is still a blast to watch.

I used to be huge fans of Pacino, DeNiro & Dustin Hoffman but they've all chosen so many bad movies since their primes that it's hard to hold them in the same light as before. I guess if Ed Norton does a "Meet the Fockers" type movie or a "Gigli" (like Pacino), I'd have to re-evaluate him as well.
