1. This may be the hardest poll in the history of DU

Hayden for Dr. Stranglove and The Godfather vs. Ryan for The Wild Bunch and Billy Budd. Just to name a few of their films.

Hayden. Thinking about Johnny Guitar and The Killing. Plus Sterling is a cooler name.

2. Robert Ryan for the The Wild Bunch AND for never "ratting out reds" like Hayden

Hayden was a very good writer, though

3. Both were right wing guys, but Sterling Hayden did some amazing stuff in WWII.

Ryan liked doing Shakespeare with Katharine Hepburn....but my vote's with Hayden.

I think that the right wing was all up on the screen

Wiki says that he was a liberal Democrat

By the way, Sterling was once a card carrying commie!

How's that for your post war commie conspiracies?

4. Sterling Hayden wins for Asphalt Jungle alone

and when you factor in Dr.Stranglove, it's not even close.

7. Brigadier General Jack Ripper will always get my vote

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
