    Daniel Day Lewis

    DiCaprio is fine. I've enjoyed his movies. Nothing against him. You asked a subjective question.

    Depp is a marketing machine. I liken him to Britney Spears. He's a created persona.

    I agree Depp has sold his soul to $ and Jerry Bruckheimer,

    But he did make some AWESOME movies to put himeslf in that position (What Eating Gilbert Grape, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Blow).

    Also, Public Enemies was a nice little break from Jack Sparrow (fyi the 4th movie comes out this summer i guess).

    Since Damon is an unstable, liberal atheist arse..I care not to watch any movie with him in it, again.

    I can't put them into a ranking, because I dont watch a lot of movies. I will say that I've enjoyed some of Mark Wahlbergs movies.

    It really is a wash after Depp.

    I love Clooney, but he does just play himself in every role.

    I'm really not sure if I've even seen The Last of the Mohicans. If I did, it was probably when it first came out. I don't watch many movies AND when I do...I seem to forget what happened like the next day.

    Siman....what about Denzel? Where would he rank on your list? I'd say he's one of my favorite (if not favorite) actors.

    Denzel was badass in Book of Eli. One of my favorite movies of the last few years.

    Yep, I agree. If you like Book of Eli....you should check out The Road. Its a father-son post apocalyptic story and a little more believable.

    My list, with best performance in ()

    Leonardo DiCaprio (Blood Diomond)
    Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York)
    Christian Bale (The Prestige)
    Brat Pitt (Fight Club/Legends of the Fall)
    Johhny Depp (The Curse of the Black Pearl)
    Matt Damon (The Departed)
    Tom Cruise (Valkyrie/Top Gun)
    George Clooney (The Men Who Stare At Goats)
    Orlando Bloom (Return of the King)
    Mark Whalberg (The Departed)

    On this list, Denzel would be right after Pitt. These were completely randoms selections from movies ive recently seen.

    Fince, i actually just watched both of these movies.

    Id have to give a slight edge to The Road and Viggo Mortenson.

    Like i said, this isnt a top 10 listing...just some recent actors ive watched.

    Ed Norton is a very good actor, especially in Fight Club and American History X.
