Is Leonardo DiCaprio the Best Actor of this Generation?

[Palooza]

My favorite movie throughout middle school

I love that movie. It's a sweet action movie. One of the last movies I could stand Tom Cruise in.

Notice how he doesn't even get a mention in this thread? That's what happens when you go psycho and start making movies like Knight and Day.

I like Mal a lot in Inception. Well, not really. I actually fucking hated her for what she was doing to Cobb, but it was really well done. Michelle Williams character (I fucking forgot her name already) just makes me want to kill myself. That bitch.

i jumped in the theater in shutter island when

 

leo shot her

technically if you hated Mal you hated Cobb because she was his sub conscience, therefore was actually Cobbs. So....

That just happened. I jumped as well because my surround sound is on and I was paying attention to the comp.

Leo, Crowe, Clooney and Penn are up there no doubt. Can't forget Kevin Spacey either but he was more 90's than 00's.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Edward Norton (my favorite actor) are very underrated. I like Mortensen too but i've only seen A History of Violence and Eastern Promises from him. Could throw Clive Owen and Gary Oldman in for underrated too but they are definitely not in the "best" argument.

When Mol jumped from the building she returned to reality while Cobb remained in his sub-conscious :shifty:

Good call on Kevin Spacey and Clive Owen (he plays the same character in every movie, but I like how he plays it.)

IMO, they were so deep in the dreams, neither one of them was ever going to get back to reality.

Spacey is probably top 3 in the 90's for me, hasn't really done dick in the last decade though.

and Sam Rockwell minus Iron Man 2. Dude fucked up. He always does good small movies, but the one time he chose a blockbuster, he was shit in Iron man 2.

Yeah, I hated him in IM2. He is awesome in Moon, Matchstick Men and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Benicio Del Toro has not been mentioned.

Traffic, 21 Grams, Fear and Loathing, Snatch, Usual Suspects

Watch Choke. THat movie was fucking great.

I have. I saw it in the movies by myself.

Leo is the obvious choice.

I like DDL, Norton, Oldman.

I like the underrated crowd:
Guy Pearce: Memento, LA Confidential, The Proposition
Ben Foster: 3:10 to Yuma; 30 Days of Night, Alpha Dog
Danny Huston: You Don't Know Jack, Silver City, John Adams
Tom Wilkinson: Michael Clayton, Valkyrie, RocknRolla
Alexander Skarsgard: Generation Kill, True Blood


Ben Foster is probably my favorite right now even after Pandorum. He just steals movies like he did in 30 Days of Night and 3:10 to Yuma.

Speaking of Ben Foster, Woody Harrelson is a good actor (he and Ben Foster were awesome together in The Messenger, when Woody

 

started crying, I almost cried myself for the first time during a movie since Bruce Willis takes one for the team in Armageddon

Woody just needs to choose his roles better. He picks some... interesting shit.

I have to say this. I hate the actress who played Mal. I couldn't stand her in Public Enemies and didn't like her in Inception. I loved both movies, but can't stand her. I think it's her voice. She was in that super gay Rose movie about the French singer too. Yuck.

Marion Cotillard. I actually like her a lot. Didn't see La Vie En Rose, though. Her accent makes me erect, to be honest.

 

[Palooza]

Did you catch the two part, 5 hour Che movie?

I couldn't make it through half of the first part. I VSN'd through the whole movie.

 

[Palooza]

Am I the only one who thought Public Enemies was a horrible movie? I thought it was a consensus and then PB was saying how much he liked it in the chatbox and now I've seen it mentioned twice in this thread. It just came off as cheap and poorly put together to me.

I thought it was shit, too. I expected MUCH more from Michael Mann.
