Dominating the other actors is *not* the sign of a good actor. I'd
go with Lawrence Olivier, Dustin Hoffman and Paul Newman over anyone
mentioned so far.
For sheer dominance without overacting, check out any movie with
Max von Sydow or George Sanders.

For ability to do widely divergent roles, I'd go with Hoffman and Depp.

around here, but it's a good production. One of my pet peeves is using non-
southern actors to play southerners. Spacey is great, but I cringed when it
became clear he was trying to portray a Carolinian Congressman. He did get
better later in the series.

best ones eventually:

Downey Jr. Are there better, a few but look at the roles he's had.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000375/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
A heroin addicted cock sucker in Less Than Zero
Sherlock Holmes
A superhero, Ironman
A black man in Tropic Thunder
For you moneys worth the best all around actor today is Robert Downey
Jr.

I love _It's Complicated_. She built tension to the edge
and kept it going the whole movie. Great job, Meryl.

I disagree. Katherine Hepburn always played herself.
Meryl Streep goes further.
Speaking of Hepburn, _The Philadelphia Story_ [1940]
is one of the greats.

Thanks for mentioning this. I had not considered him that way.

That's a pretty damn good list as well, but I think my fascination
with the '70s is that it was the movie equivalent of rock and roll--
there was plenty of serious stuff pre-1970 but the censorship took off
the edge. It was like all Hermans Hermits, and then suddenly Black
Sabbath shows up.

Fonda was blacklisted from further consideration the minute his
traitorous daughter went to North Vietnam.

The 90's was a return to film, for the art of it. Spike lee's stuff,
Eastwood coming out full force as a director, the Cohen Brothers, and
