  1. Great call on Jack Black in High Fidelity. What a movie...and better book...but not as good as his "A Long Way Down."

    Crack is a helluva drug. Anyhoo, I take this to mean a body of work, not just one, and avoiding the gimmes, like Streep or Eastwood:
    --Christina Ricci (except for Monster).
    --Paul Rudd.
    --Christopher Walken.
    --Jennifer Coolidge.
    --Lee Ermey.

    Rudd was great, but I thought Seth Rogen was better.

    There have been some idiotic things said on here over the years, but this might be the most idiotic. At least in the movie category.

    John Wayne in every movie he appeared in. Nobody ever filled the screen like The Duke.

    Cary Grant and Bogart, too.
