My Movie Star Lists

Here is a list of my favourite actors and my favourite movies of theirs: Mohanlal: To me the most complete actor. Extremely versatile and mind numbingly subtle, he was the actor I grew up watching and idolising. Although he does tend to fall into bouts of mediocrity, his best works have been just spectacular. To make a list of my favorite movies of his would be impossible. But here are his best dramatic performances and movies. 1. Vaanaprastam 2. Amritham gamaya 3. Patha mudra 4. Aham 5. Iruvar 6. Bharatham 7. Kireedam 8. Kalapani - bad movie, great performance. 9. Thanmatra 10. His Highness Abdullah. 11. Nammukuparkan Munthirithoppukal. 12. Kamaladhalam 13. Spadikam 14. Devasuram Sreenivasan: The best Comic Screenwriter in India probably and a pretty spectacular actor, considering his looks and limitations. Again it is impossible to pick a few great movies of his... 1. Vadakunoki yenthram 2. Thalayana manthram 3. Akkarey ninnoru maran 4. Chintavishtayaya shyamala 5. Panchavadi palam 6. Sanmanasullorku samadhanam 7. Gandhinagar second street 8. Kalapani 9. Mukundhetta Sumitra villikunnu 10. Udhayananu taram 11. Nadodikattu 12. Pattanapravesam 13. Sandesham 14.Then maavin kombathu Toshiro Mifune: Macho and moralistic. Have only seen him in Kurosawa's movies, which I think is more than enough. Extremely versatile with spectacular screen presence and a brilliant voice. 1. Stray Dog. 2. Rashomon 3. Shichinin no Samurai 4. Yojimbo 5. Red Beard 6. Sanjuro 7. The hidden fortress 8. Throne of blood Marlon Brando: The best hollywood actor ever. Period. 1. On the waterfront 2. the Godfather 3. Last Tango in Paris 4. A Streetcar named Desire 5. Apocalypse Now 6. The Brave 7. Sayonara 8. Mutiny on the bounty 9. One eyed jacks Robert De Niro: A great actor, but typecast and slipping into mediocrity. Reinvented himself as director, which I hope he follows up on. 1. Raging Bull 2. Taxi Driver 3. Goodfellas 4. Mean Streets 5. Casino 6. The Deer hunter 7. The Godfather 2 8. Heat 9. The King of comedy 10. The untouchables 11. Once upon a time in america Daniel Day Lewis: Probably the most complete and intense actor in the world today. Could probably dethrone Brando in my books someday. 1. Gangs of New York 2. My Left foot 3. The Last of the Mohicans Havent seen him in anything else, and am sure his performance in There Will be Blood will be my favourite once I watch it. Al Pacino: Started out as a spectacularly talented and subtle actor, slipped into this intense and hammy star after scarface. 1. Dog Day Afternoon 2. Serpico 3. The Godfather 1 and 2 4. Heat 5. And justice for all 6. Glengary Glen Ross 7. Carlito's way 8. Donnie Brasco 9. The insider 10. Scarecrow Edward Norton: Excellent actor stuck doing bad and obscure roles. Breaks out with some spectacular movies once a while. 1. American History X 2. The painted veil 3. Fight Club - for sentimental reasons 4. The people vs larry flint 5. Primal fear 6. 25th Hour 7. Red Dragon Christian Bale: Most promising actor of this generation. Intense and method to the core. 1. Rescue Dawn 2. 3:10 to Yuma 3. The machinist 4. The prestige 5. American Psycho 6. The new world 7. Empire of the sun 8. Batman Begins 9. Reign of fire 10. Equilibrium Johnny Depp: For the record, I have been a fan before the Jack Sparrow years. Quirky and unconventional in almost all roles. 1. Edward Scissorhands 2. Sweeny Todd 3. Fear and loathing in las vegas 4. Ed wood 5. Arizona dream 6. The brave 7. Whats eating gilbert grape 8. Benny and joon 9. Donnie brasco 10.Blow 11.Sleepy hollow 12.Finding neverland 13.Pirates of the C 14.Once upon a time in Mexico Bill Murray: My favourite American funny man. 1. Rushmore 2.
