If you have any complaints, arguments, or comments on anything, give me your thoughts. Any actors you thought I overlooked, don't be afraid to mention. Thanks!

Gosh I forgot about half of these people!! I've not seen much from Gene Hackman, Miffune or O'Toole but from the things I have seen of them I can completely see why they've made the cut! Thank you for putting me out of my misery. Excellent top 100!!! What's next...actresses? :p
Great list! I think Sayonara and Julius Caesar should be there instead of a Dry White season.
I will watch all these movies on all these lists in a year!
Haha, you *really* should check out more from those guys, I couldn't stress that enough. And as for a follow-up, Colin suggested I do actresses, but I don't know... I haven't seen NEARLY as many great actresses as I have actors. If I did do one, it would definitely be much shorter, like maybe top 20. Thank you for reading, Sara! ;)
Yeah I really want to! It's so hard to get everything I want to seen though! Hopefully in 20 years time...haha. Yeah that's the trouble, I think actresses would be a lot harder! I think when you weigh out the actors and actresses, actors come out weigh stronger in terms of ability. No problem, it's been thoroughly enjoyable!
I was thrown off by Brando's southern accent in Sayonara. As for Julius Caesar, I own it, just haven't watched it yet. Haha, good luck with that, Rohit! It will be a looooong year :P
Actresses would be impossible for me, haha. I doubt I could even name 100 actresses that I liked, and then add mini-lists to that... I wouldn't be able to come close to doing that in a way that I'd be satisfied with. But thank you Sara, it's been nice posting these things, and I'm glad at least a couple people have actually enjoyed reading them ;)
Nice list man! Interesting choices, I disagree on plenty, but love just as much.
Danke, Mr. Moody. Which ones in particular do you agree/disagree with?
This I like!
George C Scott and Mifune in the Top 3...
All the fanboys of new generation actors need a reality check and need to check out the work of these two great men!
This is a Grand Finale. Kudos man!..Great work!
But why do I recall you saying that you didn't like Pacino in The Godfather Part II earlier?
(P.S. Anyone having a problem or not receiving FB email alerts suddenly?? Or is it just me?)
Thanks! I agree, more people need to look further into Scott's filmography than just Patton and Dr. Strangelove (which are the only movies he's in that anybody seems to have seen). And yes, I used to not care for The Godfather Part II, but I just watched it for the second time not so long ago, and found myself quite surprised by how much I liked Pacino in it.
I was so closed in guessing number one but it turned out to be #3 for George C. Scott. Excellent list, I must say. I disagree with some of your choices but your Top 10 is superb.
Wow. This was totally worth it in the end. Awesome top 10. I had a feeling Gene Hackman would be your number 1, though... I enjoyed this feature! Keep them coming!
Not a bad guess, Christian! Thanks for reading ;)
Well, I do talk about Gene Hackman a lot, so it's a little shocking that nobody was guessing him at all. I guess that means you win the prize ;D Thanks for reading these posts, Nick, I appreciate it!
Jack Nicholson is utterly sensational in One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest. How you made this list is beyond me. I can't even think of a top 5. I've followed you.
