The other day Liz was asking me what I thought of some “classic” actors. Everyone she named off I loved. Here’s some classic actors I think you should check out if you haven’t seen any/many of their movies. This is by no means a comprehensive list, but these guys are all worth your time.
Gene Hackman
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Sean Connery
Morgan Freeman
Michael Caine
Robert Redford
James Caan
Clint Eastwood
Bill Murray
Kirk Douglas
John Wayne
Robert DeNiro
Al Pacino
Good list. How about some actresses?
Let’s see. I’d put the following women on the list:
Dame Judy Dench
Maggie Smith (is she a dame, too?)
Meryl Streep (although she occasioanlly drives me nuts)
Glen Close
Emma Thompson
Diane Keaton
Brenda Blethyn
And if we’re going a little younger, I’d also include:
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Nicole Kidman
Mary-Louise Parker
Cate Blanchett
Who else?
Naomi Watts
Anjelica Huston
Allison Janney
Laura Linney
those are a couple off the top of my shiny head.
