It’s too bad Connery’s swan song was the dreck “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” He realized it was rubbish when he was filming it but didn’t quit because he didn’t want the crew to lose their paychecks.

” Contrast these guys with so many of the pretty boy nobodies put up as “stars” today, so instantly forgettable.”

The scripts are as bad as the actors too.

Yes, but great actors elevate their material.

Yes, a great actor can overcome a lousy script, often by rewriting their own, or ad libing.

Every movie John Cazale was in was nominated for Best Picture, including “The Godfather 3” where there were flashback scenes from the first two “Godfathers” in it.

James Caan: if you haven’t seen the movie “Thief”, you’re missing out.

“The Deer Hunter”: Probably the greatest American movie ever made IMHO. It’s between that, “Raging Bull” and “The Godfather” with “Goodfellas” thrown in. Common demoninator: DeNiro.

DeNiro is one strange dude, but a great actor.

Agreed.

Did you ever see “Angel Heart”? He made a great Satan.
