British T.V station Channel 4 recently conducted an opinion poll to find the 100 Greatest Film Stars of all time. I have listed the top 20 according to the poll to see what your opinion is.
1* Al Pacino
2* Robert De Niro
3* Tom Hanks
4* Kevin Spacey
5* Harrison Ford
6* Jack Nicholson
7* Anthony Hopkins
8* Sean Connery
9* Ewan McGregor
10* Cary Grant
11* Samuel L Jackson
12* James Stewart
13* Audrey Hepburn
14* Steve McQueen
15* Brad Pitt
16* Paul Newman
17* Mel Gibson
18* Clint Eastwood
19* Robin Williams
20* Sigourney Weaver
British film critic Barry Norman has rejected the poll as it fails to list both renouned thespians Laurence Olivier and Sir John Mills saying that people have just voted for stars who's films they've seen recently and not given enough consideration towards it.
I have to say that I personally disagree with it too. I mean I can't believe Clint Eastwood, who has probably the most recognizable cinematic face ever, is entered at #18 while a young upstart (though admittedly good actor) like Ewan McGregor is in the top 10! And Robin Williams in the top 20..... Come on! I mean why the hell is John Wayne not in the top 20?
If I realised people were going to vote so stupidly I would have personally voted for Steven Seagal or Arnold Schwarzenegger myself in the top 20. I feel they are more deserving than some of the ones that are in it?
I suppose it is an opinion poll but some of the choices are strange.
What do other board members think?
