**Morgan Freeman** always seems to be great, even in films that otherwise aren’t so great. **Brad Pitt** and **Leo DiCaprio** seem to do a fairly decent job of picking good roles, as well as **Johnny Depp**. Of course, a lot of this has to do with being popular (and smart enough) to get the good scripts and figuring out which are worth pursuing. Actors have to work and unless you are a big draw, sometimes you just have to take on projects that suck in order to pay the mortgage. ---

Toni Collette. Okay, maybe all of her movies haven’t been four star material, but any film she’s in is raised by so many degrees. This woman is so talented and such a chameleon that I can believe any movie she is in is a blockbuster. ---

I’ve seen almost everything Ed Norton has been in. Not only do i like most of the movies, but i think he’s been great in most of them. Same for Cate Blanchett. ---

Charlton Heston. There are a couple of his films(like _Counterpoint_) that didn’t thrill me. However, I liked the movies he made before his name was the leading credit in a film. ---

Usually I feel this way about directors (like Stanley Kubrick), rather than actors. But I’ve seen all of Paul Scofield’s "big’ movies\*, and I’ve liked them all. Especially **a Man for All Seasons**. The Train A Man for All Seasons Quiz Show Henry V Scofield did more stage work than cinema, I think. ---

Woody Allen, in general (though I haven’t seen his recent stuff). John Cazale, of course. Except for **The Deer Hunter** , but that wasn’t his fault. Charlie Chaplin Buster Keaton ( silent films only). Jacques Tati Jimmy Stewart Cary Grant Katherine Hepburn [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ive-seen-and-liked-nearly-all-of-his-her-movies/507385.md?page=1)
