Well, we've established we all think Tom Cruise is certifiable... but who do we actually like to watch?
1.) The top of my list is an odd one, but Nicolas Cage has proven to be a very capable actor in a number of roles over the years- Face Off, National Treasure, Lord of War, the movie where he's a con man, ConAir, etc.
2.) As much as I despise his politics, Tom Hanks would be up there.
3.) The actor I wish made more movies is Val Kilmer- his Doc Holiday in Tombstone was one of the best acting jobs- ever, and The Saint is perhaps one of the most underappreciated movies of our time!
4.) Johnny Depp pulls off roles that perhaps no one else can...
5.) Meg Ryan is one of the better actresses- French Kiss comes to mind.
6.) George Clooney in O Brother Where Art Thou was inspired (and the fella who co-stars with him in the Ocean's 11 & 12 is really good too- forget his name but he was in the Bourne Identity movies as well).
Overblown actors/actresses?
1.) Julia "I always play the same role" Roberts- ugh!
2.) Tom "haven't made a great movie in 10 years" Cruise
3.) Angela "I wonder why people watch my body- er movies" Jolie
4.) Carrie Ann Moss... easily the worst acting job in the Matrix movies (but tight vinyl pants go a long way into making it bearable ;^)
