who do you think is the best actor/actress of all times?

I somehow think none can beat the "old time" actors/actresses of the past... Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Cary Grant, etc. Though I do love Sandra Bullock and all her movies--also Julia Roberts...Al Pacino is a great actor as well. I want to see Marley & Me as I'm a real softie about any animal movie...but since I read the book I know how the story ends and probably wind up crying buckets

The Standard Measurement for Hollywood to be considered the Best Actor/Actress of all time are as followed: 1. Oscar awards- as long as you have this trophy, you'd be considered as one of the best if not the best of all-time... My choices: 1. Spencer Tracey- won 4 Best Actor in Oscar 2. Marlon Brando- won 3 Best Actor in Oscar 3. Jack Nicholson- won 3, I'm not so sure... 4. Al Pacino- won 2 I guess 5. Robert De Niro- Won Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor 6. Tom Hanks- Won 2 Best Actor Actress 1. Katherine Hepburn- won 6 Best Actress in Oscar 2. Meryll Streep- the most nominated actress in Oscar & I think won 2 or 3 Best Actress 3. Hilary Swank- won 2 best actress & still counting 2. Versatility- actors w/ great performance in almost all genre of movie making Actors : 1. Robert De Niro- from a Mob leader, psycopath, to a beaten boxer... an obssessed fan, authistic, you name it... he's almost everywhere! 2. Will Smith- will is one of the great actor of his generation... we all witness how he transformed from comedian, musician, action star & now in a more serious drama roles. 3. Bruce Willis- he might be considered the best action superstar of all time, but you just can't stop laughing when Bruce does his old comic in some of his movies when he started in showbiz... from his BIG 3 counterpart (Arnie & Sly), he is the only one that can perform different genre aside from action... He is a natural comic even in the Die Hard series. Actress : 1. Julia Roberts 2. Whoopi Goldberg 3. Angelina Jolie 3. Bankabilty- while most of the above actor will be rarely seen releasing a movie in a year... Being a Movie Industry favorite is another aspect... my choices would be the following: Actor: 1. Harrison Ford- considered the blockbuster king of hollywood, he surely is among the top choice for every producer to be the lead star of the film. 2. Will Smith- same as Harisson... all Will Smith movies are certified blockbuster. Actress: 1. Julia Roberts 2. Angelina Jolie 3. Nicole Kidman These are all based on my personal opinion & have read or copy any related articles about the topic... I just love moives..& I know them very well.

Like Clint but John Wayne is my most favorite

Well, styles of acting and making movies have changed so much over the years. Rita Hayworth would be my choice of best actress if we were talking about many decades ago. In this day and age I would say the best actress I have ever seen on film is Emily Mortimer or Anne Hathaway. Now I know some are thinking, Anne Hathaway? But she has come a LONG way from The Princess Diaries (which is a movie I have never seen). And I just can't bring myself to say Meryl Streep. As for the best actor of all time? I'll stay with this day and age and give it to Mel Gibson or Daniel-Day Lewis. I know, I know, I didn't limit it to one. *Honorable mentions must go to Denzel Washington and Gena Rowlands.

I like watch movies too.Amlost all kinds of movies i want to take a look at it,they give me different shock.and make me take a long time to think about it.Recently i watch a moive name of 'The Curious case of Benjamin Button'I have to say the actor bard pitt perform is incredible .i think all of us should watch it.Marly and me .i like this movie too.Marly is a smart dog.it's not only a dog just like a person.of course i like jennifet too.she is a good actress as i know

Gary Oldman portrays his roles very realistically. I was afraid of him in Air Force 1. But did you notice the body movement in a Harry Potter scene where he was fighting and he was killed? Wow! Please put him in contention.

My favorite actor is Hugh Jackman and my favorite actress right now would have to be Dakota Fanning because she is literally that next big thing.

I have watched Gran Torino and I find it a very nice movie and I do agree that Clint Eastwood did a best act there. Although for me John Travolta is, has and will always be the best for me. He is a good actor even from the start and a great dancer as well. For the Actress it's Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock for me. They are the best. Although I know there are more out there like them this 3 are on my top list along with others like Nicholas Cage, Danny de Vito, and others.

hmm this is a really really tough one. if i can choose only one my favourite currently will be meryl streep. caught her in 'devil wears prada' and 'mama mia' recently. two totally different characters but she really brings them alive. i can't think of many who can do it with such aplomb. i'll actually watch a movie simply because it has her in it. another actress that comes close will be helen hunt. she is also very good but just a little less so when compared to meryl.

Oh yeah , I have many favorite actors and actresses, each one of them is uniquely talented in their own styles. It would be even ubfair to say who is the best. But, if I do have to pick one, then I would say Gregory Peck !

Mine would be Al Pacino. His movies are timeless. I was surprised to find out that my mom likes his movies so much. And it's funny how I am 30 younger that my mom and I'm hooked on the movies of Al Pacino. He was exceptionally good in The Devil's Advocate & Scent of A Woman. And of course, who could forget The Godfather and Scarface..

My vote is on Denzel Washington. He has been on several movies, shows, and almost all of his movies get awards. American Gangster was a great movie, and I think it received awards and a high salary when it was in theaters. Who couldn't Remember the Titans? That was a great movie as well! And John Q? He has so many good acting roles and he's just a great actor.

I like robert de niro and tom hanks. I think they are the best actor of all times.
