Emma Thompson - Sense & Sensibility Carrington Howard's End Nanny MacPhee Charles Dance - this one a bit obscure but I think he's a great actor Bleak House (Mr Tulkinghorne) Nicholas Nickleby

But there's damn few movies in the modern era to find laudable, other than those written nigh on a century ago or more. I want storylines, not reliance on ultraviolence, explosions and one liners.

Agree, but it would be interesting to see who people nominate as their fav actors.
The actors I like are associated with the movies they make. What I mean is, I could nominate a list of UK actors because I like the films produced by UK people.
When I see the same actors in US movies I don't like them because US movies just don't make it for me.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

He's been around forever and a day, and he doesn't give a bugger what you think. You can sneer at some cringeworthy moments and call him a kook or an arsehole, but at the end of the day he's still doing what he wants for $30 million a pop.

The trouble for American actors is they get such crap scripts to work with, even the best ones like Meryl Streep . . .but that's just my opinion.

If they're famous enough to be in a movie, they're famous enough to have a-grade ass on tap. There's a few exceptions though such as Pierce Brosnan, Robert de niro and hugh jackman, though I guess their wives are only the ass we know about.

Aw, that's a bit rough on poor old Deb.

She's almost 60, and looks quite good for her age.

I was in Toodyay when they filmed Shame, and she was a sweetheart.

Mind you, everyone was chasing after Simone Buchanan
