this is true at least since Ronin. all of these quasi-comedic wiseguy roles are the same over and over

theres nothing left of the variance and range like The Mission vs. Taxi Driver vs. Raging Bull vs. Cape Fear.

I don't think they're the best actors per se, but as far as best leading men, Harrison Ford and Brad Pitt are the kind of guys who you can place in a role where their presence on-screen 95% of the run-time and it will be an enjoyable watch. E.g., The Fugitive. I'm sure older actors like Clint Eastwood and others in their prime would qualify, too.

heath ledger wasn't good. I said jimmy stewart, above, on the basis of Vertigo/It's a Wonderful Life/all the westerns he did with Anthony Mann. brando wasn't that great. streetcar named desire - overacting shit. on the waterfront - okay, nice. the godfather - cool impersonation of an old guido, 70s snl cast-worthy work right there. everything else, e.g. missouri breaks - overindulgent bull

I agree.

Stage actors are often hammy to the audience but it always translates like shit into the Big Screen. Only people didnt know it back then and watched garbage like film noir. lol

on the waterfront was unwatchable
