Favorite Actors

[keeper]

Okay, we had fun with the "Favorite Movie" thread. So what about actors? Or most memorable movie lines?

I'm all about Liam Neeson right now. This bit of dialog from "Taken" gave me chills...

“I don’t know you who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you’re looking for a ransom, I can tell you, I don’t have money. But what I do have is a very particular set of skills, acquired over a very long career in the shadows. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that will be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you. And I will kill you.”

Comedy- Eddie Murphy, Tyler Perry, Tina Fey
Drama- Val Kilmer, Jude Law, Harrison Ford, Denzel Washingon, Tom Hanks, Kevin Costner, Johnny Depp, Renee Zellweger

Jack Nicholson
"You can't handle the truth"

I also like Sam Elliott........tough in anything he does. The old rough cowboy type.

 

[texaswolf]

Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin, and Charles Bronson to name three....There are many more I could add to the list but for right now I'll stick with them.

From "Cold Mountain" Ruby Theus, played by R. Zellweger...

"I dispise a floggin' rooster. (***ccrrrrrrrkkk***) Let's put 'im in a pot."

(And it's not a line, but from the same movie, the scene where Jude Law kisses Nichole Kidman good-by, with them ending up on their knees would qualify for one of the all-time best screen kisses. All fans of good smooching, salute.)

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

:sgrin:

That's from Dirty Harry in case you didn't know.


This quote always makes me grin as well.

"A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." -The Silence of the Lambs

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

One of the best scenes/quotes in recent memory /\

Best actor: Rowan Atkinson. Hands down.

The scene in Beans Holiday where he mimes to different songs, then finishes with the piece of opera, outstanding.

[texaswolf]

It's a damn shame Val Kilmer has like the ****tiest agent in Hollywood. The guy is a great actor who has been cast in some horrible films of late.

Then you have Keanu Reeves with his wooden acting skills get these awesome roles. Kilmer should have hired Keanu's agent a long time ago.

The love scene in that was awesome.
I backpack around the shining rock wilderness which is right next to Cold Mountain(where the true story came from and some of the movie was filmed).
It is a rough area....I can't imagine anyone living there and doing well in the 1800's.

Good question. He's a wiz. Reminds me of another good line.

Hannibal Lector: "Terns? Mmh. If I help you, Clarice, it will be turns with us too. Quid pro quo. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no."
