    This one isn't so bad for me...I already have it narrowed down to two! Of course deciding between the two is going to be very, very tough.

    Oh, this is a tough one. My number one is Jimmy Stewart, but I have a sweet spot for Gene Kelly, and William H Macy.

    Yes. Gene Kelly is awesome. But... James Stewart, you know? Stewart. The really truly best actor of all times, if we have to pick only one.

    Bill or James ? Stewart or Murray ?

    Thought it about for a while, and I decided to go with Murray. Stewart has starred in better overall films, but Murray has impressed me much more as an actor. I'd love for both to advance to the next round.

    I vote Macy & my second choice would be Irons. Stewart starred in some of the best films of all times, but as far as acting talent, I don't think he was really all that.

    I am going to throw one in for Jeremy Irons... I love his acting, he was great in Dead Ringers, and Stewart will go through anyhow (which was my first choice)

    Sure. Think we talked about that when Cronrnberg was up for tdt.org Greatest Director. Irons had a long, solid history performing. Also try Kafka if you're into just real tripped out movies.

    If William H. Macy doesn't continue, I am shoving someone through a wood chipper.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
