Vicky's Doctor Who thread got me pondering my favourite actors and what films I think they're amazing in.

Sam Rockwell - 3 Billboards, Moon, Vice, 7 Psychopaths

Cate Blanchett - Carol, Heaven, Notes on A Scandal

Would love to hear yours. Give me something else to add to the watch list.

Isn't he great? I forgot about The Green Mile. A film that does justice to the book is a rare thing.

Sam Rockwell is a fantastic actor doesn't seem to get the recognition he deserves.

Karl urban is also pretty underated despite his dubious accent in the boy's,his portrayal of characters is quite varied.

John Cusack is a favourite also.

I never knew the Bronson story but it opened my eyes to a few things, a bit like Murder in the First did.

I understand the Holocaust thought, it was truly an awful time. Strangely I found myself watching a lot of this during lockdown, along with resistance movies and it made lockdown easier, as not really suffering at all in comparison.

Bill Murray ~ everything he’s ever done.

Special favourites are Groundhog Day and ghostbusters.

The late Allan rickman ~ again I don’t recall a bad film he’s been in, I even still enjoy Robin Hood Prince of thieves occasionally.

I think it’s the case with them both that their delivery and expression was always spot on.

Tim Robbins and Freeman in Shawshank, I also really enjoyed the performance by Clancy Brown. Although saying that, I don’t think there was a single bad performance in that entire film.

John Wayne in The Shootist. I think the fact that he knew he was dying really gave his performance a gravity that he never achieved in his other films.

The Green Mile is another film I think has a truly outstanding cast, actors both main and supporting giving their absolute best.

Michael Sheen, he's so versatile in the same way Daniel Day Lewis is. He was brilliant in a TV drama about a man with OCD. I think it was called Dirty Filthy Love, or something like that.
