Actors:
DeNiro (in the '70s)

Diane Keaton (mainly in Woody Allen films, not in crap like Baby Boom... I guess that would also qualify as "in the '70s")

There's nothing wrong with choosing the 70's as a favourite decade. Driving in this morning it occured to me how strong the sixties were with music and conversely the seventies with movies.

Incidentally, that is anexcellent list of directors. I think I would add Bergman to your list and then it is complete. :)

Directors: Pavel Klushantsev, Stanley Kubrick, Mario Bava

Seriously, I find my taste in directors is a little odd for a 16yo.

[sparkleytone]

Paul Newman

Stanley Kubrick

No one was better than Newman in his day. No one.

[blackfox]

as of late:
best actor: Morgan Freeman
best actress: julianne moore
best director: Steven Soderburg(prob. mispelled)
of all time:
actor: chaplin
actress: katherine hepburn (audrey hepburn is one of my favorites by coincidence)
director: Orson welles (possibly Godard or Truffout (again mispelled))

[Savage Henry]

No one was better than Newman in his day. No one.

I'd argue that, compared to many, this still is his day. His performances on the screen hold the sort of reverance that people like Connery will never have.

Paul Newman in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ??I don't think so!!

And did anyone actually pay money to see The Avengers?

[FatTony]

"You can't handle the Truth" - best line/scene by Gene Hackman (A few good men)

That was Jack Nicholson.

Anyway, some of my favorite directors:
Joel and Ethan Cohen
Sergio Leone
Tim Burton
Christopher Guest
Stanley Kubrick
Woody Allen

Actors:
Ed Norton

Quentin

actually, i didn't mention any directors but i have to give quentin my nod

when i saw pulp fiction i was mortified, but fascinated

i got the same visceral reaction to quentin's "four rooms" but days later i thought about that movie and realized how brilliant it was...great movies make you think about it over and over and the story has layers and different points of view when one looks at it

[gwuMACaddict]

actors: george c. scott/john malkovich/johnny depp/russel crowe/kevin spacey

directors: martin scorsese/mel gibson

[gwuMACaddict]

"You can't handle the Truth" - best line/scene by Gene Hackman (A few good men)

[jefhatfield]

[whocares]

Stanley Kubrick

Hey, good picks. I forgot all about the Cohen brothers, they are brilliant indeed. Love Fargo, and their early film Blood Simple is also quite good if you've seen it. Leone is another good call. "The Good/the Bad" (as I call it) is a masterpiece, soundtrack by Morricone is also choice.

[Opteron]

That was Jack Nicholson.

Your right. Opps :p

[themadchemist]

I'd say for actor, Ben Kingsley. He just did such brilliant work in Gandhi. I don't know who's the best director, but I'll give it some thought.
