honestly, I find this particular list far more compelling

driftingmason7 said:honestly, I find this particular list far more compelling

Is there an actual reason, or do you just dig the cast on this one? 🙂

So Jack's killing it, while my Pacino Marlon is sitting at just 7 votes 🙂

and I've only got one Tim Roth. my Tim Roth 🙂

Jerry Martin19 said:Is there an actual reason, or do you just dig the cast on this one? 🙂

Well, seeing as Jack Nicholson and Uma Thurman are sitting right at the top, and even looking at the rest of the roster, it feels far more grounded to have a consensus of four votes rather than just a single outlier. Generally speaking, it was a solid little study; kudos to you for putting it together.🙂

Wait, can we vote twice 😁? Or is it gonna be 🙂? Honestly, I love Roth too—just totally blanked on him for a second 🙂

I'm down. Let's just leave the thread open for now—assuming the mods don't kill it... would be interesting to see if anyone else weighs in. I'm genuinely curious to see which directors the pros actually respect and who they think is total trash... 🙂

Better not, but if this thread goes quiet, we can always come back and vote again later...🤔

Forgot about Tim Roth? 😲 Yeah right... 🙂

(Al Pacino
Marlon Brando
Jack Nicholson
Adrien Brody)

I voted for these four gentlemen, but could I swap Brody for Roth if it's still possible? 😍

Doing this once and only once☕ just because of Roth 😬

Just kidding. Just leave the swaps in if you change your mind. Better if the list stays flexible...🙂

P. S. I'll fix it in the next results🙂
