Will Smith is a scientologist?? Really?Big Magilla wrote:"Stupid", yes, that's the word I was looking for.
I figured out it was one performance per actor but for many it's not their best performance that's been cited.
Emily Watson is the best actress of all time?
Cary Grant's best performance was in Notorious, a film that belongs to Ingrid Bergman, yet she isn't even on the list?
James Dean in Giant was better than James Dean in East of Eden or Rebel Without a Cause?
Tom Cruise, Will Smith and John Travolta are among the 150 greatest actors of all time? Did scientologists control the vote?
Well, the list is like ''everything for everyone''..

Still, dws, there was more shade, nuance and talent in Ledger's Brokeback Mountain performance, so that he was recognized for Dark Knight ahead of Brokeback is rather ludicrous in itself.

Two Words:
Totally Ridicilous
It may be only because of my Vivien Leigh and Gone With the Wind fandom but isn't quite a glaring omission to not include her for either this or A Streetcar Named Desire? and what for Clark Gable in Gone With the wind he's not there either? A Shame also that only two women is listed on the top 10.
I will not look at this list ONE MORE TIME!
