    True - he was good in that one. But hardly enough to be considered all time great? :confused:

        Gabriel Byrne, Steve Buscemi, Morgan Freeman, and Ashley Judd. Forgot to add an honorable mention to John Lithgow to that list. His sociopath roles were almost forgotten since his "3rd Rock from the Sun" days. Also need to add Sidney Poitier to the list.

        Morgan Freeman is deffo on the list, but Ashley Judd would be on the Actresses list.

          The "all-time greats" generally includes actors like the following none comprehensive list: David Niven Sean Connery Yul Brinner Cary Grant Gregory Peck Kirk Douglas Charlton Heston Paul Newman Steve McQueen Richard Attenborough Errol Flynn Clint Eastwood Marlon Brando Orson Welles Modern additions include: George Clooney Vincent Denofrio (widely considered to be an actors actor) James Earl Jones Morgan Freeman Matt Damon Ben Kingsley Harrison Ford (earlier films - the last few have seen him lose his way) Liam Neeson and my favourite out of the lot: Gary Oldman

                Actors is also referred to the generic term for both men and women. So she stays. In fact, I'd put her on top.
