Who was the greatest movie actor you ever saw and in what role?
Was it Brando's Godfather, or maybe his Stanley Kowalski? How about Russell Crowe's Gladiator? Do you lean toward George C. Scott's Patton? Maybe it was the spaghetti western period of Clint Eastwood or his Dirty Harry? De Niro might tickle your fancy or Pacino's Scarface or Scent of a Woman. Michael Caine comes back to me again and again. Robert Duval declaring the beach "safe for surfing" wasn't bad, but put him with Caine in Second-Hand Lions and you've got greatness.
But, consider this fellow having a mash-up conversation with himself:
Those were a pair of great flicks and I think I know what I'll do tonight after dinner.
Who's your favorite?

Oh, Daniel Day Lewis is an amazing actor and actually is a fav in his portrayal as Newland Archer in Age of Innocence.
A man looks so hard at what he really wants then gives it up with a glance to sea.It is a subtle role and perhaps something like a chick flick but...I think it more than that...such amazing language and small gestures...
