"I see every movie that (fill in the blank) stars in"

For me, it's...

Billy Bob Thornton

Kevin Spacey

George Clooney

Sigourney Weaver

How about you?

Johnny Depp
Juliette Binoche
Vincent Perez
Frances McDormand
Julianna Moore
Nicholas Cage
Franka Potente
Jake Gylenhaal
Catherine Deneuve
Matt Damon
Kevin Spacey
Tom Hanks

Johnny Depp was fantastic as Captain Jack Sparrow.

oh, and Julia Roberts and lately I like Kate Hudson

also Harrison Ford, George Clooney

Meryl Streep

That man can ACT! And he's delicious eye-candy as well.

I have a fantasy in which Scorcese re-makes *Last Temptation" with a decent cast. Daniel Day Lewis is a shoe-in for the title role; I can't think of another young actor with the gravitas to pull that off.

Sandra Bullock
Kevin Spacey
Catherine Deneuve
Jeremy Irons
Hugh Jackman
Ashley Judd
Tommy Lee Jones
Keanu Reeves
Diane Lane

ever since Cher and Mask... say what you will, that man is HOT!

Lili Taylor
Pete Postlethwaite
Bill Murray
Johnny Depp
Francis McDormand
Harold Perrineau
Annette Benning
Aaron Ekhardt
Ice Cube

sometimes i get disappointed, but in general, this bunch picks great roles. I usually follow directors over actors, tho. Fortunately, so do these actors.

I'd add Kevin Spacey if it weren't for The Ref and David Gale
I'd add Benicio Del Toro and Tommy Lee Jones...then I saw "The Hunted." Unforgivable.

There are many people whoes movies I will try not to miss, but she is at the top of my list.

Matthew McConaughey :loveya:

What's that? Can he act??.....I dont have the faintest idea. I've never been able to stop drooling long enough to notice.

-chef-

Johnny Depp. Always picks really interesting material. Don't believe me? Watch Dead Man. And even if the overall film isn't great, his performance is 150%. JD has been a scene-stealer since Edward Scissorhands. Oh yeah, there's that most beautiful and handsome man on the planet thing he's got going on too. :loveya:

Juliette Binoche. Loved Blue

Judi Dench.

Susan Sarandon.

:7

That's one thing that bothers me about Woody Allen's work--and it doesn't bother me, really, until I think about it--I'm not one of *those* people, LOL.

But dang, he puts everyone from Leo Dicaprio to Julia Roberts to Christina Ricci in his films, it's like he deliberately does NOT put minorities in his movies. I know that's probably not the case, he's married to an Asian, and really, what does it matter.... LOL, I'm just on a "dang, ain't no black actresses working except Halle Berry and Beyonce, who isn't even an actor!" kick.

on edit:
WOOPS! This was supposed to be under HynoToad's reply, not yours, Kahuna.... Kevin Spacey is not a director! Uh, go get some coffee, tjdee...

Anyone know when "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" is coming out on DVD?

it came out this year on DVD...check amazon.

'Zelig' is probably his most underrated gem.

It contains the original soundtrack along with the unfunny PC one! :D I'm pickin' that one up today!

(Being PC is great in real life. But when forced into entertainment, it stinks to high heaven...)

Adrien :loveya: There is something about his style that is very real, and I swear the sexiest scene I've ever seen is the one where he's walking with his lady friend in The Pianist and says "I like to see a woman play the cello." WOOO!

Julia, you know, I really don't like very many actresses, for some reason I adore her. And I know I won't be seeing flash of boob, either, with Julia.

Now, as I've said, I didn't look at Tom Cruise at all until Mission Impossible. Still don't think he's the cutest guy in the world--it's almost embarrassing now, LOL. I buy my tickets in secret! He's a workaholic and is really picky about his projects. Also, he gets props with me for pushing for black actors (he did it with Thandie Newton in MI2, actually Julia did it too with Denzel in Pelican Brief). I hated Eyes Wide Shut, but overall since Nicole's gone his work is looking up!

I would have said Ralph Fiennes too, but I've yet to see that J-Lo vehicle. Yikes.

is a hottie!!!! drool....drool...

Didja see Liberty Heights? Awesome movie!

I've been toying with the idea of buying it.

I'm so glad he's got his Oscar now, he'll be getting better material, and his work will be more readily available for drooling.

They're going to (re?) release Dummy with Adrien and Milla Jovovich, I think in October, and I dunno about that, LOL. All of Milla's movies are flops!

Wesley Snipes
Antonio Banderas
Meryl Streep
John Malkovitch
Jeremy Irons

Love his stuff.

Also, Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah... I see all of their films too :)

I'm not sure I can say that about anybody.

There are several people who, if they are in a movie will be a tipping point for me; if I'm not sure whether to see it or not, their presence will be enough to lure me in. Which is sometimes a mistake.

so

Nicole Kidman - she mesmerizes me
Nicholas Cage - I think he is an excellent actor
Denzel Washington
Johnny Depp - he chooses interesting roles
Jodie Foster - best female actor working today
Edward Norton
Juliet Binoche
Wesley Snipes
Forrest Whittaker
Elisabeth Shue

Holly Hunter
Gene Hackman
Kevin Spacey
Angela Basset
Keanu Reeves (okay, he's eye-candy)
John Cusak
Hugh Grant
Alan Rickman
Julia Roberts
Jody Foster

..and that's just a few.

Okay, so she hasn't made one in a while.

Beyond Carol:

Susan Sarandon
Julianne Moore
Miranda Richardson
Nicole Kidman
Rachel Griffiths
Joanna Lumley
Beverly D'Angelo
Hayley Mills (yes, Hayley Mills)

Hm, four Yanks, three Brits, two Aussies.

n/t

"Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil" was the only one of his that sucked, IMO.

John Malkovitch
Jeremy Irons
Jody Foster
Uma Thurman
Gene Hackman
Julianne Moore
Edward Norton
Bill Murray
Kevin Spacey
Keanu Reeves
Tim Robbins
Tom Hanks
Juliette Lewis
Willem Dafoe
Jackie Chan

And Many More

an actor can be in all different types of movies, and some may be movies that don't interest me. I may give a movie more consideration because of a particular actor, but I won't 'have' to see it. A movie one of my favorites is in just may not interest me because it's a genre I don't like (or won't see). For example, DiNiro is one of the actors who would cause me to consider seeing a movie, but I absolutely refuse to see horror (or similarly gross) movies, so there was no way I was going to see "Angel Heart." Other actors whose movies pique my interest would be Pacino, Ed Norton.

It's directors' names that get me to the movies. For the most part, you know what kind of movie to expect from a particular director, so it makes more sense to me to make a choice that way. If I see the name "Scorcese" I'm there--no questions asked. His is the only name I can say that about. But I'm also likely to see movies by Kevin Smith, John Sayles (depending on the story, since there's a bit more variation in his choices), possibly Ed Burns.
