Choosing five best actors of English movies is a very difficult task. The biggest problem in doing so is that after posting a review one will definitely feel that he/she missed out a few great names. Therefore others are bound to disagree with you because Hollywood has produced several breathtaking actors. Not caring about the rating, here is my list(or opinion) about the five best actors of english movies::
Denzel Washington: For me he the the greatest of all. His dialogue delivery, intensity in acting, the variety of roles he has and he can play is just brilliant. He can make you cry when he is doing emotional scenes and he'll make you hate him when he is playing the bad guy. A few of his great movies include, Malcolm X, Crimson Tide, Philadelphia, Glory, and Training Day.
Al Pacino: He is what Amitabh Bachan is for Bollywood. An amazing actors with loads of talent. His dialogue delivery is just amazing. His best movie till date has been Scarface which is as popular as Sholay in India. I don't need to mention all or even a few of his movies. Scarface and Godfather are enough to prove that he is a great actor.
Samuel L Jackson: No actor in this world can talk him down. Brilliant actor with a great dialogue delivery, and carries a great intensity on his face. The only reason he is not the best ever is because to some degree he lacks variety. You will find him acting as a criminal, an army general, a politician, but I can't imagine him doing a romance or comedy. His built and tough looks make him the best choice for the bad a** roles. His notable performances are in the movies, Negotiator, Pulp Fiction, Rules of Engagement, Shaft, and many more.
John Travolta: He is been making movies since 1974 and he still remains the hottest in the bollywood. The look on his face when he talks is just amazing. He has done a variety of roles that include comic(Austin Powers in Goldmember), action, romantic, etc. The way he is going right now, it seems like he will dominate the industry for another 10 years or so. A few of his brilliant movies include Grease, Pulp Fiction, Swordfish, the thin red line and the highly awaited Basic.
Tom Hanks: The reason he is one of the greatest actor to me is because acting is the one and only weapon he has in his armoury. Unlike the above four choices, he doensn't have the tough built of Denzel Washington or Samuel Jackson, and he definately doensn't have the handsome looks of John Travolta. But he still remains a very versatile actor because of his great great acting. Movies like Cast Away, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Forest Gump and many more prove the versatality and talent of this legendary actor.
Thank God, I am done. But wait a minute, what about Slyvester Stallone who acted in my all time favourite Rocky, and what about Robert De Niro, and what about Arnold Schwarzenegger, and what about........... God I am lost I have so many more names on my mind.
And you??????
