Nikki_N 17 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I thought Pitt's 12 Monkeys Performance was better than Snatch. I loved Legends of the Fall. Link to post Share on other sites

myenemy 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Jerry Maguire? You're a girl.Not really. It was a really well acted role. Do you have better suggestions for TC? Please add. Sounds like you are in terrible denial of your homosexuality. Bruce Wilis - David Dunn (Unbreakable) - John McClane (Die Hard (The Original)) Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 1 movie is far to small a sample for Ron "The Hedgehog" Jeremy wtf.Anyway...Humphrey Bogart - Sam Spade (Maltese Falcon), Fred C Dobbs (Treasure of the Sierra Madre), Captain Queeg (Caine Mutiny) and, of course, Rick Blaine (Casablanca), not to mention several others (African Queen, for example).

Sounds like you are in terrible denial of your homosexuality. LOLIt was a joke. What're you, Canadian (i.e. no sense of humor)? Seriously though, Jerry Maguire is pretty much a chick flick, but one that is acceptable for guys to watch because it has football. The little kid steals the show though. As far as other "great" roles by TC, uh not really any. He's not a GREAT actor, which is why he gets easy roles (action movies, romantic comedies). He's certainly been in some great movies though.

SBriand 4 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I will go Joey's route:Brad Pitt - 12 MonkeysTom Hanks - Big or TerminalTom Cruise - Nothing. He is not a good actor. If I had to pick one, Bo4thJLeo DiCaprio - Basketball DiariesRobert DeNiro - The Godfather IIMatt Damon - Rounders. LOL!

Depp - Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco) - Hunter Thompson (Fear and Loathing in LV)gotta really disagree here. its more like this:Depp- Jack Sparrow(Pirates of the Carribean)- Ed Wood(Ed Wood)those are easily his best jobs, but the two you mentioned are excellent too, just not as good as these twoI'm gonna go the joey route herePacino- Dog Day AfternoonNicholson- Five easy pieces(with one flew over the cuckoo's nest being 1a)ethan hawke-before sunrise/sunsettommy lee jones- 3 burials of melquiades estrada Link to post Share on other sites
