You must be like me, Im not into the newer actors either. Your list is some of my favorites, too. Altho I never was too crazy about Marlon Brando, Ive only liked a couple of his movies. Lee Marvin and Dennis Hopper are great, did you ever see Nails with Hopper? Thats one of his best. I forgot to add Frank Sinatra, anything he was in was good.

No, I haven't seen that one yet. Been meaning to, though. Yeah, Marvin is the S-H-I-T. Point Blank changed my life, for the utter brutality it pictured. That fight in the bar/strip club(?) is something I'll never forget.

What? No one mentions William Shatner?! Really?
I never liked him until I started watching Boston Legal. I had to watch Boston Legal because of James Spader who is one of my favoritre actors.

But Denny Crane was the role Shatner was born for.

Ian Mckellen, Patrick Stewart, Cary Grant, Sophia Loren.

William Shatner is still best as Captain James T. Kirk, in my opinion. He's so strong, loyal, able and enlightened in that show, which is also one of my favorites (Trekkie alert!). He almost makes one want to turn gay and erect (wait for it..) a shrine in his honor. Closest thing to a man crush I've ever had. Still, Lauren Bacall remains the ideal (damn, I forgot to mention her!)

The actors I most enjoy watching and in no order

William H Macy
Harvey Keitel
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Scarlett Johansson
Brad Pitt
Sean Penn
Sam Rockwell
James Woods
Cate Blanchette
Tilda Swinton
