The most legendary actors in American cinema

For me, the list is pretty extensive.

But if we're talking about someone truly untouchable, sitting firmly at the top of the heap, it’s gotta be Danny DeVito!

The spots immediately following him are somewhat vacant—not because the competition lacks talent, mind you, but simply because of the sheer legend status of 🙂him. After that, you've got names like Tony Danza, Paul Newman, the father-son duo Todorovic, Dragan Bjelogrlic, and that whole talented bunch 🙂of stars.

Marathon runners 🙏 🙏 🙏

Burt Reynolds was everywhere you looked, man

show

Bekim

...just like someone already said... marathon runners 😍

Antun Nalis....I can't seem to find a decent photo of him anywhere online...but honestly, you've probably seen his face in pretty much every classic American movie from back in the day....he was just such a phenomenal character actor.

Just gotta keep a cool head about it... Paul Newman, obviously!

Newman 🙂

Ckalja?

everyone from our little hometown, then Slavko Štimac (Snow Train)

In *Marathon Runner*, that scene with Radmilovica is legendary—when they tell him, "He’s easy to be nervous. Pantelija died"... and he's already mentally calculating what his daughter will inherit (Sabljic) if she marries a Bjelovar resident (Diklic), all while shouting, "Ajdeeeee"!

Todorovic is great in *Gray Truck*, and Mandic is absolutely wonderful in *Ivkov Slava*.

I find Z. a little irritating.

Danica is great 🙂

"Ajdeeeee" is easily the shortest, most iconic, and most legendary cinematic quote to ever come out of the old American film era.

If you ever get your hands on that magic DVD box set featuring "The Ko To Tamo Peva Trilogy - B. SPijun - Marathon Runners," do yourself a massive favor and listen to the intro commentary by Dusan Kovacevica regarding each film. It’ll make everything click for you. 🙂

The absolute legend, the one and only Stojkovic

"The enemy is crossing the river!"
" ...they're tossing the plan into the river, the river carries the plan away, so I'm jumping into the river..."
"They’re organized in squads of three, and those squads are... what were they called again, Danica? The basic formation for guerrilla warfare."
"Even spies aren't what they used to be. Back in the day, you'd spot one and instantly know who he was. Nowadays, you look right at them and have no clue."
...
And honestly, there are hundreds more unforgettable lines just like that...

Ljubiša, my very first crush 😍 🙂 🍿
I don't have a photo

Why settle for foreign stuff when the local options are way better? :-)
Come on, get typing!

Paul Newman
Ljubiša Samardžić

Ever wonder what those former sex symbols from the old America days are up to now?

I’ve been scrolling through this thread and noticed a few legendary actors haven't even been mentioned yet...

Take Ratko Tankosic, for example. A true natural among naturals.



He was a total legend who elevated every single movie he stepped into to a whole new level.

And whenever people bring up Ckalja, you absolutely cannot forget Mija Aleksic. He was top-tier—he and Ckalja teamed up for some truly unforgettable comedies.



Then there's Ljuba Tadic. For me, he’s the most striking figure of them all. Just a powerhouse of an actor.



Rade Markovic was also fantastic, appearing in some truly exceptional films. He’s the father of Markovica's mountain man. A real answer to those Hollywood big shots. A true actor through and through.
