    I'm off to bed, but before I go--who are everyone's least favorite A-list actors? Why?

      Editing … Mel Gibson, the guy's a racist, a sexist, an anti-Semite and just generally awful. Also he made Braveheart and part of me hates that film.

      Editing … Is Adam Sandler an A-list? He's the same character in everything, he's the least versatile actor in the history of acting. Even worse than Al "shouter" Pacino.

      Editing … Jaden Smith, Asa Butterfield, and Chloe Grace Moretz are an instant turn-off for any movie :p - don't like Kodi Smit-McPhee much, but at least he's had some good roles

    Does anyone else feel the actors & actress lists should be expanded to, say, 15 items (+15)? We had that series of expansions a while back, and it makes perfect sense to expand this as well.

      Editing … I'd be fine with 15-20, so 30-40 with honorable mentions. A lot of fantastic actors that just didn't make the cut but should have still been acknowledged. Javier Bardem, F. Murray Abraham, Sebastian Koch, Natalie Portman, Rooney Mara, and Michael Caine all really need to be on my list.

      Editing … The only actors I actually dislike are Julie Andrews and Adam Sandler, and even then I'm open to seeing new stuff, so I don't really care for that kind of list.

    In my opinion this is probably the worst list here. Most the top ones are just handsome people who are in really popular movies. Not people with actual talent.

      Editing … It is a "favorite" actor's list, not a "best" actor's list. Hell, Kurt Russel is my favorite actor, but I'm not delussional enough to think he sniffs anyone's best actor list.

      Editing … I guess that's true, but that said I also think that many of the people in the top 30 or so aren't as good as Kurt Russel for example. I get Arnold Schwarzenegger as a favorite, because of his stand out performances, in a negative or positive way, but for example Leonardo DiCaprio or Johnny Depp (see Django Unchained and Ed Wood for the exception) are just not very interesting in most of their films. I do get more of the lists choices now though so thanks. I don't tend to separate my favorites and bests most of the time so the list didn't really open up to me at first. To each their own I suppose.

    Why is Bruce Willis so high? He...can't act. Okay, maybe he can, but it's always the same person. :p

    *looks at top 3*

    ...ok, i'm gonna leave now. When I come back, Johnny Depp better not be still ahead of Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, CHARLES CHAPLIN AND F***ING MARLON BRANDO!
