I think it's Leonardo Dicaprio. He gave an incredible performance in the Aviator, and granted Shutter Island/Inception were well written movies but he still made them better! Plus I just watched Body of Lies, which got me thinking about this whole thing.

yes/no?
The thing he's great at is making me want to kick his ass.
DiCap could be #3, but the first two spots indisputably go to Daniel Day Lewis and Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman is amazing but plays too many supporting roles, no?Quote:

Actress -- Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank.
I really like all three of the actors listed so far. I'd also add Bale to the list.
I agree with the actors listed so far and I'd like to add Edward Norton and Jeff Bridges to the list.
Hard to go against natalie portman for the ladies side.
Not always, but I don't think that's a problemQuote:

Fun fact: DDL was initially wanted to play Aragorn, but declined because he thought it would take too long. Now how fucking aaaaawesome would Day Lewis rollin Aragorn have been?
Man you must be horribly depressed nowQuote:

This title should have been Angelina Jolie's to lose but she was more interested in adopting the world and being a celeb.
Russell Crowe as the man's man actor of his generation.
lol at u gaymos all up in natalie's gross ass

The world's true best actress is Emma Stone. Not for any other reason than I want to marry the chick she played in Easy A

i'll keep that in mind for the Greatest Actor/Actress since 2010 thread.
greatest actor/actress is Morlag the man/woman of planet X33
to be sorta constructive, dicaprio is my favourite actor. DDL and PSH are good actors but their movies bore the shit out of me and a pretentious rubbish
A Beautiful Mind (2001) - IMDbQuote:

my favourite actor is edward norton. hands down.
Edward Norton has done some great films and he would be in my top 3. I really liked Daniel Day Lewis in 'There Will be Blood' and I know he's been in lots of other movies I just can't think of any.
Johnny Depp and Leo both draw me in completely to whatever story they are trying to tell. I have a healthy appreciation for the skill that that requires.
funny how George Clooney probably would've been mentioned 3+ year ago and now I wouldn't even put him in the top five over the last decade.
"Gangs of New York," which is a forgotten great movie for both Leo and DDL. DDL plays a character sorta (oddly) similar to the "There Will Be Blood" guy.
"Last of the Mohicans" of course, which your girlfriend/wife will appreciate (every chick gets wet watching that movie)
"In the Name of the Father" -- great fucking movie
The greatest comedic actor of that period is Brad Pitt when he cries.
Milla Jocovich was awesome in Fifth Element
Jonah Hill no doubt
DDL's best is unquestionably My Left Foot
I honestly don't care much for his movies or his characters, but that doesn't change my acknowledgement of his talent. I'd far prefer to watch Leo since he makes very enjoyable movies, but he's still no DDL
i agree with DC...edward norton is the man.
DDL ftw

I think he is pretty simplified... Edward Norton is pretty good... pretty torn on the whole thing.
Yeah Leo and Russel in my top 3. Not sure who the other would be.
A Beautiful Mind is prob my fav movie ever.
poor man's Michael PittQuote:

Jeff Goldblum gets honourable mention for being awesome, see his topless laying down greek god pose in jurassic park.
