Leo. Owen. Liam. Joaquin. Jeff.

The Top 100 Actors of the Aughts Countdown continues with numbers #35 ~ #31.
Wilson "Re: The Brothers Wilson. I've read in more than one place of delusion that Luke is the more attractive sibling..."
Phoenix "The world spins in bizarre ways..."
Bridges "It doesn't matter if an actor is sweating blood or tossing it off, a great performance is a great performance is a great performance."
Neeson "Always knew he would age well..."
DiCaprio "That "King of the World" moment still haunts me... (and not in the good way)"

Read the rest... then discuss right here in the comments! It's so easy and good for you, too. #30 through #26 will be up on Tuesday with the new poll for more of your ranking pleasure.

Your comments on DiCaprio and Phoenix are spot on. Well - I agree with everything you say about them both anyway!

That Owen Wilson... he's so hot right now.

Wait, I thought these were quotes of theirs that you found... I'm confused. Are you making up these quotes? In any cast, I love them.

And nice choices here... finally, you bring out the big guns. And just in time for summer! Woo.

Oh, those are parts of your comments on each actor. I am stupid, so sue me.

Nice comments, by the way... nice actors.

I love Liam Neeson. He's so underrated. Yeah, sometimes he can get typecast, but he's one of the most reliable actors out there, most of the time great and never less than rock-solid. He was robbed for Kinsey.

For my part, I'd never heard a single person suggest that Luke Wilson was more attractive than Owen Wilson till you mentioned it. I thought it was obvious that Owen was the more charming, funny, attractive one. I like Luke too, but it's Owen who really stands out.

I also first really enjoyed Joaquin Phoenix in 'Signs' and have loved Liam Neeson since I saw him in 'Rob Roy.'

adam k. said...

Well, I like Luke Wilson... but then I like both of them.

Wait, who did Joaquin play in Parenthood? I loved that film and I don't even remember him being in it... not a good sign.

adam k. said...

Whoa, he was Garry!!?? He was really good! And why did I not even recognize him? I am mad that you insulted Joaquin in this way. I loved little Garry. Shame on you.

It's not just one great performance though; Catch Me If You Can was a terrific star turn.

Plus Nat mentioned he thought he was fine in The Beach.

I'm still unable to comprehend how Orlando Bloom is getting so high!

I can't agree with you more about all your choices on there. For the record, I've always assumed Luke was considered the more boring of the two.

Caleb, Clint ain't showing up I bet. He's only had one good role (M$B) and other than that nothing. If it was taking into account his directing then sure... but it's not.

Kinsey = Rotten.

I presume that Orlando Bloom (if he turns up) is going to be the Kirsten Dunst of this list (Dunst's placing on the actress list was ridiculous, imho). An actor that has no place being so high on this type of list, but Nat has some sort of weak spot for.

Ironic that both Bloom and Dunst sucked ass in Elizabethtown.

Kirsten Dunst is at worst a very interesting actress; Bloom is not.

but he so pretty...

Bloom is fascinating though... You have to admit you're on the edge of your seat willing him to be great sometime.

And, if I'm honest, I thought Elizabethtown gave a spark of hope. Nothing any actor worth his salt couldn't do as well, but I felt him reaching and - sporadically - succeeding.

Bottom line though: it's Nat's list and we have to respect it until we all bother to do our freaking own!

I've never been on the edge of my seat with Bloom.

Dunst is actually a good actress if you pay attention (Virgin Suicides, crazy/beautiful, Bring It On, etc).

NATHANIEL R said...

i didn't see Elizabethtown which maybe saved both Dunst and Bloom on my list. I'm not much for Cameron Crowe and I didn't want to see two actors I like vilified for Crowe's over-cuteness.
