I agree. Both are solid. I didn't care for Johnny Depp till I saw Blow. He was great in that flick, and liked him every since. Gotta add fight club to your list of Norton flicks!

Yeah, I wish I didn't know Depp hated the United States, I'd like him more.  They're both great actors, probably 2 of the top dozen alive.

I actually think Di Caprio is a dope actor.

Titanic
THe Beach
Gangs Of New York
Catch Me If U Can

Tom Cruise is still doing the business tho.

as for norton and depp, no doubt, they're both great! The Score is one of my favs, and fav depp movie is blow by far. Another pretty good one by norton is red dragon..

You've got a handful of actors who don't get the respect they deserve, because everybody attributes their success to their good looks.  DiCaprio, Cruise, and Pitt are all 3 actors who are some of the greatest around, but get dismissed because they look so good.  Leo is one of the greatest actors we've seen in years.

Yup, he went "hollywood" lol in the traditional sense.  He moved to France, and said he'll never live in America again because we act like a 'stupid puppy' or some bullshit.  

Gwenyth Paltrow did the same thing.  Madonna moved to England and is pretty liberal, but I don't think I've ever heard her trashing the U.S. or talking badly about the country she was born in by the grace of God.

christopher walken...everytime i hear that name from now on, ill be reminded of this kid [Danny] that sat next to all of last semester in Econ, he does the best christopher walken impression, the teacher will ask who the secretary of state is and he answers in a christopher walken voice sayin its christopher walken, and he always does that Gold Watch monologue from Pulp Fiction in class, its funny as hell how good he is at it.

Edward Norton is obviously the best actor alive. And Fight Club is most certainly one of the best movies ever made. Unfortunately most roles Norton gets dont demand a great deal of Norton's incredible skillz.

lol what about the celebrities that said they would move countries if George W. Bush was elected ?

Trauma your wrong for trying to label Depp as Anti-American or hating the American people because he doesn't suck up to W. Bush.

Code: [Select]
Actor Johnny Depp lives in the south of France and says he has no intention of returning to the United States until it stops acting like a stupid, aggressive puppy. "America is dumb," Depp said in an interview with the German magazine Stern. "It's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive." Depp, who's currently starring in Pirates of the Caribbean, ripped the Bush administration for its criticism of French opposition to the war in Iraq. "I was ecstatic they renamed 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries.' Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots."  

;D lol@freedom fries/toast served in Pentagon cafeteria.

ok


Walken is one of my favorite actors ever, theres something weird about him and his voice and a gleem in his eye that keeps u interested.  Someone else who is gonna be big is the main Character guy from Pool Hall Junkies, Very good film and very good performances, also the guy from Requiem For a Dream, the white guy sorry I can't remember any names right now.  Benicio Del Toro also has that Walken look of crazed genius he's gonna be      big(ger)!

Yeah they are two very dope actors, Norton was amazing in Fight Club.

Del Toro and Walken are both really good as well, Del Toro just has like a crazied calmness about him which I think is real dope.

I'm not really feeling Di Caprio in shit like Titanic, Gangs of New York, etc, but I thought he was real dope in The Beach. However I think the main attraction of The Beach was a) the amazing beauty of the scenery, and b) the amazing beauty of Virginie Leodoyen. Di Caprio was pretty good in Basketball Diaries as well.

Honestly it was the best Movie I have ever seen in my life, it really connected with me probobly becuase I could relate to it a little.
But Norton is the one of the best actors in HollyWood.

^^^^LOL, the best movie you have ever seen?  ok, I know its your own opinon.  I think the movie is ok, it ain't that great.  iof course norton does an excellent job, but it's his worst movie I've seen besides itallian job.  I dunno, there needed to be more to it, wasn't much of a climax.

If you were lookin' for some movie with action, then nah, 25th hour wasn't good. But the emotions that Norton's character was going through was something that you could understand where he was coming from, even though you knew he deserved it. His homies and they're point of view was interesting too.

When I saw it with my friends I remember I was the only one that liked the movie, cuz they were expecting some action scenes n shit. I loved the movie tho.

it was a good watch, very creative and new for a storyline.  Its just funny to me that someone would choose it as their favorite movie ever.

Walken was in PoolHall Junkies too, that was a coo movie but i dont think that actor can compare with the names in the thread..
Jared Leto is the guy from Requiem and yeah he did a pretty good job but Marlon Wayons did a badass job in requiem and my respect for him shot up chingles.. i always see him in scary movie and boyz in da hood and shit but he did exactly what he had too in that movie.. great performance by all of 'em..
Tom Hanks is still my fav actor of all time but pitt and del toro are pretty tight too..

Christopher Walken cant compare with Johnny Depp or Ed Norton?! are you kidding me? The man that has made 90+ films cant compare with Depp or Norton? The man that was in such films as.....

The Deer Hunter (classic performance)
True Romance( classic performance, )
Pulp Fiction( classic performance)
Prophecy series (classic performances)

and then all his other films , he gives so much light to the character hes playing....even if its a horrilbe script.

Blow is fucking classic!  definately check it out.  Its one of the best movies (probably top 3) to come out in the last 5-8 years)

Its based on a true story, johnny depp is in it, penelope cruz (who is hot as hell), man its just a great movie.

I can't even imagine people that don't like to party not likeing this movie.  I think this is Depp's 2nd best performance next to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I think the matter if you like 25th hour or not highly depends on who you are.

For me, it was just real. I contains philosophy I can completely identify wit.
