Don’t forget Lost in Space or AI: Artificial Intelligence (also known as “leave the theater when you see the Blue Fairy and it’s decent, stay for the end and be crushed by schmaltz”)
I agree on following actors:
Alan Rickman, Cate Blanchett, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Dustin Hoffman.
They are my favorite actors in Hollywood today, so I’d be glad to see any of them. I was close to include Christopher Walken, but I saw Wedding Crashers.
I hate Nicholson, but I liked his over the top characters in Mars Attacks. But I really like that movie. Weird, kooky, and it has the scene where Martians are playing the, “We come in peace.” recording while blasting the snot out of everything in sight. How can you not love that?

I’m not the biggest movie buff, but I don’t recall **Daniel Day Lewis ** being anything but engaging. Does he have some clunkers from the past to sink this theory. He certainly doesn’t seem driven by paychecks when choosing roles.
I have to agree with Catherine Keener, but beware of “Death to Smoochy.” I kind of liked it, but I seem to be quite alone.
I sat through Striptease because Pandora Peaks is in it. Sadly, there’s a real paucity of her work available on video.
