Continuation to this thread.

Movies - Which group of actors is the most talented bunch?

In terms of acting ability. Btw the reason I grouped them the way I did is because of their acting generation. Their group represent the generation of that time. 1st. Laurence Olivier - 1907 Jimmy Stewart - 1908 Henry Fonda - 1905 Spencer Tracy - 1900 Humphrey Bogart - 1899 2nd. Philip...

1st

2nd

 

[Misfit23]

2nd. Pacino and De Nero made tons of stinkers that brought them a bunch.

 

[Streeter]

Close than I would of thought. 1st n 2nd. Go to group 2 . 3 thru 5 overall go to group 1.

Group 2 by a hair as having the best 2 actors makes more a difference when it's close.

DDL > Brando
Oldman - Bobby D push (slightly Oldman maybe)
Hanks - Hopkins push
Pacino > Denzel. Slightly
Jack > Penn closer than would think

Very nice breakdown thanks.

Group one is a victim of its own success and longevity and started phoning it in.

Gotta go with 2

You think Group 2 will start phoning it in as well in their advanced age? Maybe not DDL because he retired, but the others in that group?

Can't predict the future, but in group 1s case some of their later "performances" lowered their batting average per se.

I'm not saying the choice was easy, group one has some epic performances in some of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[Kryptt]

Went with #2 but again not an easy choice.

 

[Staph infection]

2nd even though it has that breathing potato head Penn in it.

 

[lowlife]

if I were to make my own five from that group it would be;
Denzel
DDL
De Niro
Penn
Hanks

I went with group 2.

 

[Dr Curtis Love]

2nd

I agree, group 1 has by far the better legendary movies in their filmographies.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

I'm pretty talented have you heard my British accent

 

[Sweater of AV]

Both groups are amazing but I have to go with 1.

 

[Thrawn33]

To be fair a movie is a team effort, supporting cast, direction and production can push that great performance to iconic.

I'm sure there's a few flicks where the movie is made great solely by one actor, but that's for another thread.

Exactly.

 

[Simple Southerner]

#2 by leaps and bounds

 

[USA!USA!]

Great poll. Really close. Both are very good. 2 all-star squad.

DDL is MJ and Oldman is Pippen though. They take the series.
