By Consensus or majority thinking, who are considered as the "All time great" actors? I needed the response, to show my esteemed colleague that his knowledge of Movies should be "expanded"

You're entitled to that, but he probably wouldn't have made 172 movies if I was the only one who liked them... ;)

Ron Jeremy was in over a thousand.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
Well, I can only account for the John Wayne movies. You must be the one that's been keeping Ron going (and coming)?!?!? ;P

In the action genre I would say: Bruce Willis Jackie Chan Sylvester Stallone Arnold Schwarzenegger But for pure acting ability: Julia Roberts Morgan Freeman Anthony Hopkins Matt Damon
If you vote me down, my score will only get lower

To add to the list: Leonardo Dicaprio (seriously he is good).

Both overrated in my opinion - although Al Pacino has done some good stuff as a supporting actor (Devils's advocate, for example.)

I guess I expected him to be a great director, since he was such a good actor. The movies he directed weren't uniformly horrible, but I would have thought a few would really shine. I'm something of a film snob, I'm afraid. It's probably a result of being forced to watch the unadulterated crap classic 'B-movies' my wife likes to watch.

I never thought Clint Eastwood was an exceptional actor, but his movies are certainly done well.

Eastwood's sort of a counter-example to Poitier. Clint's a pretty good actor who has turned into an amazing director.
