I especially loved their roles in Alexander the movie. I thought that movie was simply stunning, and I was quite pleased with the way Oliver Stone directed the movie. This movie has been on my mind lately because I read that that Stone's going to rerelease Alexander in an uncut/uncensored DVD making the movie three and a half hours long; now I don't know about the rest of you, but I think that's great. I've been a huge Alexander the Great fan since middle school, (and an Angelina Jolie fan as well for almost as long, heh heh), so more of them both is a good thing. I also think it's interesting that they have a MySpace ( /alexanderrevisited ) because that just shows me that they're dedicated to their fanbase, (it also shows me that a lot of unexpected things have MySpaces now-a-days). Anyway, that's where I found out that the movie's coming out on the 27th, plus some more info about it.

Patrick Stewart is the best person ever.He plays Captain picard on Star Trek TNG and Xavior on X-MEN. 2nd would be Ian McKellin for playing Gandalf and Magnito.

Two of my favorites are Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan.

I will list more of them later.

Meryl Streep
Dudley Moore
Bette Davis
Sally Field
Drew Barrymore

I think anything Anthony Hopkins has been in is a must for me..with Emma Thompson it's just screen magic along with Kenneth Branagh, Colin Firth, Ewan McGregor, I rate Julie Walters and Brenda Blethen among the centuries greatest screen females. Maybe they are just very choosy about the films they make...

Great topic, by the way!
