The problem with Jean Reno is that his best films are in French. Guess it's not a problem if you understand French.

Or like to read. Laughing

Here they make a dubbing for everything. A bad habit IMHO.

No. You're not the only one.

As Good As It Gets is on my list of top movies.

And she's beautiful according to me. There's something about her that is disarming. Don't know how to put it.

kleelof - I dont mind subtitles, could you name a few Jean Reno French films.

Feu - I don't know Daniel Auteuil, what films has he been in?

Maxx - I think both are excellent and will try and track down the film thanks.

Auteuil did Jean de Florette, Manon des Sources, Girl On The Bridge, La Reine Margot, A Heart In Winter, Caché...

He is one of my favourite actors of all time...up there with Dustin Hoffman, Fassbinder and a few others

Respect to your keyboard skills red. Could have ended in tears with that name.

Is this good or bad Kaynight? I'm not a native, sorry. Imagine a 7 year old, and I'll be able to get it Tongue Out

I liked Steve Buscemi in The Resevior Dogs, Fargo, Con Air and The Big Lebowski.

I never knew that he use to be a firefighter.

I agree with you :).

Talking of Helen Hunt, what happened to Jack Nicholson in this thread. 'As good as it gets'.

The Tiger and The Snow

Ruby and Quintin

 

There are a couple of others, but the titles were in French and I never found out the English titles.

I hate dubbing. I'd rather hear the original language and read the subtitles.

I hate reading subtitles too.....Tongue Out

But I hate dubbing a lot more.

I was just thinking of SB this morning. He is pretty good but I think he sorta got type cast.

Thanks everyone for your contributions to this thread. Although it didn't really go in the direction I inteneded, it was nice being reminded of many great actors that have slipped from my memory.

Here is another one many might not think of: Jamie Foxx

Another comedian turned actor who, it turned out, really has a talent.

Avatar of SharonCarter

True about Jamie Foxx.

How did you want the thread to go?

I don't think she's a bad actress. It was more about her being an "honest" actress (if that makes any sense) that I agreed with.

It doesn't really matter now. It has all been a good read.
