I didn't know who he was before There Will Be Blood, but now I will never forget.

I love him. He's my favourite actor never to have won an oscar.

Robert De Niro.

Robert Downey Jr., Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

I just saw Doubt. A combo of Hoffman and Meryl Streep pretty much guarantees an interesting film.

Doubt was an average film made brilliant purely by the oncreen duo of Streep and Hoffman.

Bogart.
Hands down.

Agreed. Personally my favorite performance of his was in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre".

Why is that one your favorite? I've seen him in a few different things (off the top of my head, the obvious ones like Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and The African Queen) but haven't seen that one yet. Why does it stand out for you?

It has a lot to do with the story and Bogart's character. I don't want to give too much away but I vaguely remember hearing on one the movie's commentary tracks that when interviewed Bogart alluded to his character in this movie by saying 'I play a real son of a bitch'.

I just watched that a few days ago. By the end of the film you could barely recognize Bogey.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman / Maggie Gyllenhaal

Edward Norton, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Meryl Streep, Gary Oldman, Paul Giamanti, Frances McDormand, Kate Winslet, William H. Macy, Morgan Freeman, Christina Ricci... Not saying that I've loved every movie they've all been in, but these are very dependable. I could add much more, but I don't have all day.

I think he's a human.

Looks like I'm not the first person who thought "shouldn't that be 'who'?".

Sean Penn

Paul Giamatti

Audrey Hepburn, of course for actress, and Cary Grant/Humphrey Bogart -- simply cannot decide which is better.

I know.

Jamie Lee Curtis. Are there any other ones?

Sean Penn. Dude's a genius.

Johnny Depp

I watched Public Enemies yesterday and was so happy to see him in a role were he doesn't play some crazed eccentric for a change.

Steve Buscemi.
He was awesome in Reservoir Dogs and Big Lebowski. What other movies do you recommend? I haven't seen much of him.
Fargo got an Oscar, dodge Armageddon if you can - sorry for delayed post going through old comments.
Ghost World and Interview are two of my favourites.
Trees Lounge is probably his best performance IMO (he also directed it)
He's in the new movie Youth In Revolt. He doesn't have a huge role, but the movie is worth watching....
