Well, what can I say? I have to admit I'm a movie addict! When I was on the road full time, traveling in my small camper, I went to a movie almost every night. Since libraries were closed in the evening, and I often didn't get TV reception on my small solar TV, there wasn't much choice. Now that I live in Quartzsite, AZ most of the year, I check out videos and DVDs from the funky library there. They have a whole room full! I don't pay to go to movies any more. Think of the money I'm saving!
Here are my favorite mail actors, kinda in the order I like them:
Val Kilmer (especially as Doc Holliday in "Tombstone", "The Saint", and as
Jim Morrison in "The Doors")
James Wood (especially "True Believer")
Johnny Depp (especially "Finding Neverland," "Edward Scissorhands," "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," "Benny and Joon")
Tommy Lee Jones
Jamie Foxx (especially "Ray" about Ray Charles and "The Soloist")
Cuba Gooding, Jr. (especially "Men of Honor" and "Radio"
Kevin Costner, especially "Dances with Wolves"
Ed Harris (especially "Sweet Dreams" about the life of Patsy Cline)
Denzel Washington, especially "Philadelphia"
Morgan Freeman (especially "The Bucket List")
Billy Bob Thornton (especially "Bad Santa")
Kevin Spacey (especially "Pay it Forward" and "Beyond the Sea" about Bobby Darin)
Will Smith (especially "The Pursuit of HappYness" and "The Legend of Bagger Vance")
Jeff Bridges (especially "Star Man")
Richard Gere (especially "Pretty Woman" and "Primal Fear")
Tom Cruise (especially "Born on the Fourth of July")
Brad Pitt (especially "Seven Years in Tibet")

Tim with Mel Gibson (Mel is SO young in this and SO good looking and SO buff you will never recognize him. And his acting is great in this film even though it pains me to say this because I don't much care for him as a person and never watch his movies!)
