	good quiz. but wow... nick cage?

	RS89:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 03:46 GMT		-3 points
	Source? Or is this just your opinion?

	rsplenda477:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 03:59 GMT		1 point
	RS89...this is not my opinion, but a list by AFI (American Film Institute). If it were my opinion, I would totally have added Paul Scofield, Edward Norton, Joseph Cotten, David Niven, and others. There are also some I would not include: Depardieu, Richardson, Caan, etc.

	Ian McKellen not McKellan

	DPerrone99:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 05:38 GMT		3 points
	Solid quiz - some questionable listings, but that's no fault of yours. Is Denzel Washington really a better actor than Peter O'Toole?

	Miana90:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 06:28 GMT		2 points
	Nice quiz, my only thing is I'd like to see Sean Connery and Hanks move up a ways, not saying to the top you can't move classic actors but some people above them aren't fantastic IMO, Tom Hanks has been brilliant in every movie I've seen him in.. goes to watch Terminal I just think some guys are high because of one or two overrated roles.. but yeah it's AFI not you. It's a great quiz.

	Robin Williams can act. He's been in some awful movies, yeah, but if that's a deciding factor, then Orson Welles shouldn't be on the list either, considering that he was in the animated Transformers movie. Same with Robert Duvall, who was in both The Scarlet Letter (the Demi Moore version!) and Four Christmases.

	alpha:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 13:45 GMT		5 points
	Fidelio, agreed. bbf2, watch him in Good Morning VietNam, Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, etc.

	@hydra351: There was once a time when Nicolas Cage could and did act well. He will forever be critically punished for his desire to make a lot of money with terrible movies, but let us not forget he once displayed ability.

	Haunter:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 16:46 GMT		6 points
	Where is James Earl Jones, I'm serious.

	buppyspek:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 17:48 GMT		1 point
	Really, AFI? Nicolas Cage and no Edward Norton? That's just sad. And I'd put Brad Pitt in over Tom Cruise, personally.

	Perkinator:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 17:52 GMT		4 points
	I gave up on this quiz all too hastily. But when I realised there was not Tommy Lee Jones, I just couldn't stand it any more.

	wallyballz:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 18:29 GMT		5 points
	yeah where the hell is Tommy Lee Jones?

	MacZidane:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 18:58 GMT		3 points
	I think the time limit needs increased here. Any quiz with 100 answers or over needs at least 15 mins.

	piemasher:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 19:57 GMT		-3 points
	Alec Baldwin?

	MxyzptlkNY:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 20:02 GMT		-2 points
	Nice quiz, although AFI lists are always so predictable, and like the smell of their own farts.

	Jenbebe:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 20:04 GMT		-1 points
	More time, please. Dear AFI, Cagney should be in the top ten. He can have Alec Guinness' spot, as far as I'm concerned. Also, I love Gene Kelly like a schoolgirl loves Twilight, but a great thespian he was not. And Joseph Cotten gets nothin'. Typical.

	More good recent Cage - The Weather Man, Matchstick Men. Of course he also starred in the worst movie ever made, Vampire's Kiss.

	GoldenBo:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 21:27 GMT		5 points
	Any quiz where Sydney Greenstreet is an answer is fine by me.

	FroznMbryo:	Nov 3rd, 2009 at 23:32 GMT		0 points
	Amusing how everyone chimes in about Nic Cage, but nobody notices his name is misspelled. No "h" in it. And for the person who thinks Richardson doesn't belong on the list? Really? He's got to be up there with the top four or five actors of his generation (Olivier, Gielgud, Scofield, and Guinness). When he played Falstaff in 1 Henry IV, royalty had trouble getting tickets. Don't bottom him out with James Caan and Gerard Depardieu!!

	Decent list overall, but Day Lewis isn't accepted for Daniel Day-Lewis.

	AtoneMENT:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 00:59 GMT		2 points
	This is a great quiz, and I can't wait to try it again when I have more than 20% blood flow above the neck -- nice job, I would hope Sporcle would publish this. I would agree though that a little more time would help, it's a lot to do. As for AFI, no Lionel Barrymore?? Idiots.

	Gold26:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 07:12 GMT		-1 points
	No Philip Seymour Hoffman or William H.Macy? Scandalous.

	Carlos:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 12:16 GMT		6 points
	@Barzuniac: Danile Day-Lewis is in there. Vote me down if you will but I think some people can't see past Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio's good looks to see their acting talents. I rate Dicaprio as one of the best I've seen.

	Majesteetti:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 12:24 GMT		3 points
	I just think it´s unreal that Daniel Day-Lewis is placed 70th while Sean Connery is 44th. Don´t get me wrong, I do like Connery, but seriously, is he a better actor than DDL? Good quiz, loads of fun.

	dtro:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 13:26 GMT		0 points
	Denzel Washington makes it to 33 for playing Denzel Washington over and over again? Huh?

	JohnJF:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 21:45 GMT		1 point
	@Carlos. You are absolutely right. I'd also put Matt Damon in that company. With that said, I don't think any of those three have done enough to merit inclusion as one of the greatest actors ever. Perhaps in due time.

	chronosaurus:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 00:42 GMT		4 points
	I'm still baffled at the fact that Tom Cruise made this list.

	whattheheck:	Nov 7th, 2009 at 15:18 GMT		1 point
	This isn't an AFI list, but a Digital Dream Door (whatever that is) one: http://digitaldreamdoor.nutsie.com/pages/movie-pages/movie_actors.html Incredibly fun to play but not nearly as meaningful a source.

	rjl316:	Nov 11th, 2009 at 01:02 GMT		3 points
	Don't hate on Gerard Depardieu. He's done more movies than you can fathom. He has been nominated for the Best Actor César 15 times! Not nearly as terrible as the one up for the actresses. As for throwing in a newbie for the sake of it, I'd agree with Pitt over Cruise.

	Lyn_Marie:	Nov 29th, 2009 at 15:36 GMT		2 points
	I can't argue with most of these (mostly because there are a few I've never seen in a movie) but Leo Dicaprio and Robert Downey, Jr. are two of the best actors alive today. I wonder if some of these old classic film actors would survive by today's standards. I think we expect more these days, but maybe I haven't seen enough of these old movies to judge. Anyway, Leo and Downey are better than Harrison Ford (he's just had some awesome movies!)

	I think you should add Keanu Reeves as a bonus answer with a rank of ∞

	nymous:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 15:46 GMT		-2 points
	It's scandalous that Arnold Schwarzenegger has been overlooked. Don't let his successful political career cloud your judgment - he's clearly one of the best actors of our time.

	HoraceKohanim:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 20:57 GMT		2 points
	Wow, some interesting placements, and some omissions: Paul Muni, Warren Beatty, George Clooney, Chaplin-12th!, Keaton-48th!, Day-Lewis-70th!, Jason Robards, Christopher Plummer, Albert Finney, Paul Scofield, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss?, Paul Winfield?, Takashi Shimura, Javier Bardem, Tommy Lee Jones, Arthur Kennedy, Kevin Kline, Peter Ustinov, Edmond O'Brien, John Carradine...
