Leonardo has the best film resume: The Revenant, Titanic, Catch Me if You Can, Inception, The Departed .......the list goes on and on.
Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington have the most memorable acting roles. People will always remember lines from: Forrest Gump, Malcolm X, Training day, Castaway etc.
Tom Cruise does not have the best roles and his filmography leaves alot to be desired. He's a better actor than his resume suggests.
Will Smith has fun films but i feel like people love him more then his movies, he's such a likeable screen presence. Which is why he can sell comedies, action and dramas.
Daniel Day-Lewis is an actor's actor but he's not beloved by the masses. However, his films will probably stand the test of time too.
Those are the top 6 from the last 30 years.
You do realize that people my age (2 years younger than Cruise) & older consider Tom to have memorable acting roles & we remember lines from his movies. "I feel the need...the need for speed", "Show me the money", "I want the truth", "Oh Louis, Louis...still whining". He has also worked with the greats - Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Duvall, etc. along with top directors. At this point I think he makes what he likes - action movies & he is great at it. I thought he was great in Magnolia & would like to see more of that - he was brilliant as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder cursing everyone out. I mean there is a reason they copied the escalator scene from Rain Man in The Hangover - Iconic & that is what Tom is.

Mi is not a presales franchise. It could sell zero presales and I wouldn’t be worried about what it will do
I so agree - seems like we go thru this same thing every time an MI movie comes out.

Not more The Rock isn't really a star because he has a disappointment talk. Brad Pitt can't sell every film either and yet people don't like discussing that for some reason. The bias against The Rock here is overwhelming.
I like The Rock I just think he should pick better scripts - this looked unappealing & even though San Andreas made money I thought it was ridiculous.

I can already tell this forum is setting itself up for disappointment re: Christopher Robin and will have no one to blame but themselves.
I'm quite confused - why do so many posters think Christopher Robin will be this giant hit? I don't get it - I have heard absolutely no buzz whatsoever about it.

WC?
I would guess the World Cup - England won today & is going to the semi-finals - I'm sure lots of celebrating instead of movie-going.

Yes, I am obviously writing my opinion. Why should I care if I am the only one disappointed, which isn’t true anyway, one look at the predictions is enough. I am expressing my opinion in a nice manner without insulting anyone.
As am I but you sure do get disappointed quite often when there are really no disappointments in sight. Constant negativity can be tiresome.

Nah it had all the potential in the world for an over 100 million opening, which isn’t even outlandish or anything by today’s standards. Great marketing, amazing brand power (MCU) , great cast of both “young” and veteran actors covering every demographic and again it is my own personal opinion that the whole ant man concept , unlike what other people think, has big potential with today’s technology being used in films.
Exactly - it is just your opinion. You are the only one complaining the movie didn't open to over $100 mill. It opened great - you are the only one disappointed - you seem to thrive on being disappointed.

its freaking 113 degrees in LA. does that help movies or not? I dont want to go outside. Its blazing fucking hot.
That sucks - we finally got rid of the extreme heat & humidity today - had the windows open most of the day - it was lovely - haven't been able to do that in quite a while. Hang in there.

I'm not even really fanboying, I just thought Holdo had plenty of haters as well as people who were lukewarm about her? Dern in general is widely liked sure but that's always been the case.
I guess I'm the only one who gets annoyed with the weird way her mouth moves?

Here's why I hate the cold - usually, it's also combo-ed with short days (less light) and between cold and darkness, it sucks your will from wanting to do anything.
Versus a gorgeous day like today - some World Cup in the morning, then an afternoon with the kids at the pool, more World Cup, and now an evening of dinner out and then entertaining adult friends for a legacy board game tonight...it feels like the day is so long and the possibilities are endless...
And for those who say you can always get warm...no, no you can't...you should ask my spouse how cold my hands are all winter (b/c my circulation sucks)...so easy to cool off in pools and oceans, but so hard to warm up when there's no way to immediately immerse in the heat:)...
Hot bath/shower - sorry about your circulation though - it's my feet that get cold in the winter but I just wear thermal socks & boots. I like the heat when I'm at the beach or pool otherwise no - I love the fall - sweater weather.

You americans need to get on with modern times and the world and switch to metric 😜
Actual high for today is about 35C which is about 95C but its the high humidity which causes the heat index to rise as high as 44C
43-44 degree celcius is close to 110 degree fahrenheit. 120 would be close to 50C.
Me too. I’d rather be cold then be sweaty and sticky in the heat.
Never!! And it's truly awful out - I too would much rather have cold than heat - always ran hot & I just pour sweat in this weather which makes me very grouchy - thank God for AC!

I saw that one as well. I refuse to watch the bastardized remake starring The Rock.
Disney pumped out a lot of live action flicks for children and families back then while letting their animation department wither. I think The Rescuers and a few years later The Fox and the Hound were the only "new" Disney animated movies I remember seeing as a kid. They regularly re-released all of their classics, though and I think I saw almost all of them.
I remember The Aristocats & Robin Hood that's about it but yeah they had lots of live action movies for kids.

Thank goodness some fellow 70s kids - I cannot believe how young so many posters are on here. I remember those movies - Witch Mountain right?

Older movie goers attending movies more days after release in average is a true stereotype too:
The AARP study highlighted that older adults also demonstrate distinctive behavior around film release cycles. Movio research has shown this group is significantly less likely than moviegoers under 50 to attend films on opening weekend, with 60-percent of their visits coming after opening weekend, and on average, 15.2 days post-opening.
https://www.aarp.org/research/topics/life/info-2017/the-50plus-moviegoer.html
You couldn't pay me to go see a movie on opening weekend - just get aggravated.

I loved this movie - I haven't laughed this much at the theater in a long time. I enjoyed all the characters & thought each of them had really great lines (Candice Bergen really had me cracking up) - I usually don't care for Andy Garcia but he was perfect in this. I enjoyed all the romantic relationships & the complications that arise when you are an older couple. Just because someone is older doesn't mean they don't have the same feelings they did when they were younger - glad movies are being made that don't just portray older women as asexual grandmas. I don't think this just appeals to an older audience because my 22 year old daughter enjoyed it as much as I did. I just have to say I cannot believe how gorgeous Don Johnson still is - that man is unbelievable!

Saturday was not as busy as expected at my theater, management came to the conclusion that Cinco de Mayo and Prom prevented some adults and teenagers from coming to the movies. This may have been the case for many areas if they were similar to mine.
There were also lots of college graduations too.

BTW what the hell is David O Russell doing these days?
Ditto for David Fincher
Was watching Mindhunter on Netflix last weekend & was pleasantly surprised that the director was David Fincher. Didn't know he was involved with this series.

It is except Jeff Bridges has basically been playing Rooster Cogburn the last seven years
Love Jeff but this is so true - Me & my husband laugh watching him because he talks like he has no teeth in his mouth yet has a full set - so weird.

That's funny - then explain to me why so many action movies nowadays have actors like Tom, Liam Neeson, Keanu Reeves, etc. Hell isn't Denzel in an action movie sequel right now?
