    Paul Newman
    Tom Hanks
    Denzel Washington
    Dustin Hoffman
    Al Pacino
    Gene Hackman
    Marx Brothers, L&H, A&C
    Jimmy Stewart

    Grace Kelly
    Margaret Dumont
    Jodie Foster
    Andie McDowell

    I don't necessarily know their work but I like to look at Veronica Lake and Gene Tierney
    More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me.

    Re: Your favorite actors/actresses

    movies I'll see because the actors are in it:

    Gene Hackman (I could watch him get his mail!)
    Tom Hanks
    WC Fields
    Monty Python
    Bob Duvall
    Chris Walken

    the women:
    Natalie Wood
    Audrey Hepburn
    Kate Hepburn
    Jodie Foster
    Francis McDormand
    Emma Thompson

    I think the movies that the top level actors choose to do affects my list. I love Sandra Bullock, but because ALL of her movies show the same reaction shots..etc. i don't see anything stronger there. I know comedy is a bit tighter than drama - but others strtetch out.
