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.
