best film: McCabe & Mrs. Miller and this one has changed and evolved over the years. It used to be Bonnie and Clyde- which I consider a masterpiece as well- but Altman’s mood piece with

best film: The Silence of the Lambs is the sole Hopkins masterpiece.  Howard’s End is fantastic, as is The Elephant Man and Nixon (all top 10 worthy in their year) but the choice here is

best film: Apocalypse Now is the second best film of all-time so if you were in it, or a part of it, it’s your best film (there is zero overlapping cast with my #1 film:

best film: Pulp Fiction is Willis’ best film though Die Hard is exceptional and I have Moonrise Kingdom as a masterpiece as well. His fourth best film is probably 12 Monkeys so the top is

best film: This all depends on what you think of his pit-stop of a performance in Goodfellas (which I have ever-so-slightly above Pulp Fiction).  I don’t think it’s enough of a performance so I’m going

best film: It’s either On the Waterfront from Kazan in 1954 or Doctor Zhivago from Lean in 1965. I think I’m still going with Kazan’s classic film as Steiger’s best. He’s not Brando- but he’s
