Righteous Commerical?

[only_more_so]

I just saw another add for "Righteous Kill." The voice-over said that it starred the two greatest actors of a generation. I'm unconvinced. Also, what classifies as a generation? 10 years? 20 years?

Marlon Brando
Anthony Hopkins
Jack Nicholson
Clint Eastwood

ETA:
Gene Hackman
Morgan Freeman
Michael Caine

 

[Belegon]

all solid names...

I go back and forth on this and hate trying to name a few greatest anything.

For example, what make a great actor? versatility? passion? presence?

a distinctive voice? good looks?

like so many other things, I find it easier if we get more specific... one way to do that is by generation (to me, that's 20 years or so)

The name that jumps out of your list to me: Michael Caine

versatile, has weathered storms and changing attitudes and has had many successes and failures.

Is he the "greatest" you named? That's arguable. But I like him.

In searching, I am seeing 30 listed. I had always been told 25 growing up (I think, at least). Somewhere in that area.

On a side note, I've been seeing the bus adds for this movie for like 2 months. Sick of them before I even saw the first actual preview for it heh.
