It’s been almost two years since I posted at Big Hollywood regarding the Top 10 Most Overrated Directors of All Time. I’ve had a chance to reflect and think about the crimes I committed in that post. And, to paraphrase Mr. Eko from the greatest TV show of all time, “Lost,” I ask no forgiveness because I have committed no sin … except leaving Spike Lee and Tim Burton off the list, that is.

So, because you all enjoyed that list so much, and because I apparently have a death wish, it’s time for another: The Top 10 Most Overrated Actors/Actresses of All Time

It was okay. Nothing special to me, and I’m a golfer. All I really remember was Costner saying “Gimme another ball” 243 times. (And in in Bull Durham he said “Give me the ball” 127 times.)

I don’t think Reeves is considered to be a good actor in the first place. Therefore can’t be overrated. Party On Rufus......

>>How was Keanu Reeves missed?<<

Your question answers itself! (lol)

Curly Bill! I love it when Powers Boothe is firing his pistols and howling at the moon.

[Borax Queen]

Am also sick of Hollywood trying craft to sell One Trick Pony, Anne Hathaway as their next Streep, When she obviously isn’t.

That is so true!!

[Hot Tabasco]

The little squirt Tom Cruise should be on it.....

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Dustin Hoffman was great in ‘Tootsie’.

[Borax Queen]

I agree with you about Oldman! And, Downey (was glad he rehab’d so could come back).

[Borax Queen]

I never liked Clooney until “Up in the Air.” I thought he was amazing in that, reminded me of the “old days” actors.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

This is true.You got me.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

I forgot about Keanu, thank you for reminding me Powersboothfan.

I haven’t seen Keanu in awhile. Obviously out of sight, out of mind.

I have been busy watching a lot of movies lately.

I did meet Gary Oldman in person recently. He is a very nice guy.

[BIGLOOK]

Cruise is a big star.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

As far as GOOD actors are concerned,another favorite of mine is Bob Gunton. He and Powers Boothe are great.

Ooo! Do tell.

[POWERSBOOTHEFAN]

Will Ferrell is about as funny as a bout of vomiting,especially when your stomach is empty...

About Russell essentially directing the film -- I didn't know that! But it makes sense. I've wondered WHY Tombstone has the intense attraction to so many people that it does. There are so many "wrong" things about it -- gratuitous violence, the stupid women's suffrage scene and other PC crap, Curly Bill, howling-high on opium and booze and shooting at the moon -- having an endless number of rounds in, presumably, two six-cylinder single-action pistols (either that or skills as a reloader of astounding speed), and in fact a "Curly Bill" (I watched it three times in a row at the big screen for Powers Booth's performance alone ... LOVED him!) totally unlike the historical person, a big, uncouth, mean bully, by all reports, not the refined, humorous and gentlemanly villain that Booth made so EXCELLENT...

... yet Tombstone, in big part because of Val Kilmer's performance, just hit bulls-eye in the minds of so many Americans of all stripes. I remember going to it for the third time in a low-rent Mexican neighborhood buck-a-show matinee about six weeks after original release. The theater was about two-thirds full, a weekend afternoon. All different ages and colors of people. About three rows behind us three American Mexican teenage pals were sitting together, and had clearly seen the movie before. When Wyatt cuffs ol' Johnny Tyler the bully dealer in the Oriental and Johnny hesitates, Wyatt asks: "You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed?" the three boys chimed in. It made the movie more fun.

There's almost a cult around Tombstone. I wonder, WHY? With all its flaws, why does it resonate so deeply with so many Americans?

Why are there nine men and only one woman?

Because there were two women?
