Talking Movie Stars

While watching TV, D asked "Who is your favorite actor again"?
Me : Hmmm, let me see...
Bruce Willis - strangely, he makes me laugh (Whole Nine Yards, Nine and A Half Yards)
Jim Carey - ironically, he makes me sad (Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
Nicholas Cage - any character he plays, I enjoy (Snake Eyes, Matchsticks Men)
Kevin Bacon, Sean Penn - good acting never fails me
Matt Damon - my Jason Bourne
Val Kilmer - interesting (The Saint)
Keanu Reeves - like a provinciano always, boy next door (Walk in the Clouds)
Christopher Walken - love this guy (he must be over 60 now)
Denzel Washington - use to like him but...
Joaquim Phoenix - hate him, good thing he is quitting movies

Lastly, I must have watched a lot of his movies (if not all), but he is not on my list -- Tom Cruise. I don't know where to place him -- like or hate.
So, who are your favorites?

  1. I believe there's someone who should have been in your list. Whether you intentionally omitted his name or just forgot, I highly recommend J.T. who starred in two musicals - S.N.F. and G. For me, he's an all-around actor.

  2. I used to have a crush on Christopher Walken during his Deer Hunter days. He's quite old now. Have you seen that SNL episode re the cow bells? Hilarious. My list includes Jim Carrey, John Malkovich, Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Matt Damon, Forest Whitaker, and of course the new James Bond, Daniel Craig.

  4. Does tagator mean John Travolta? I like him too, although, you, Ms. Randomness know that I am not a movie watcher.

  5. tagator,
    I like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever and Grease, but not sure after that.

    au,
    how could I forget Daniel Craig? Christopher Walken - did you see my blog on Spike Jonze (or Music Videos) -- boy, C. Walken can dance!

    dang,
    Piolo lang! Derek Ramsay pud diay! I know you don't know them. Yes, Movies is one thing we don't have in common.

  6. Let me add Robert Downey Jr. and Edward Norton. I agree with you about Tom Cruise, love or hate? Do you know he's a Golden Globe nominee for his role in Tropic Thunder?

  8. Au,
    Robert Downey is resurrected! Really good in Iron Man -- can't wait for the sequel!

    Kreez,
    Keanu's latest movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still", I hear is not so good. Too bad.
