I have most of the above mentioned films on tape or DVD. I rarely go to public theatres anymore since I detest crowds, and prefer watching films in my leisure at home or with friends.

Favorite actors? Peter O'Toole, Daniel Day-Lewis, Tobias Menzies, Alan Rickman, Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, David Strathairn, Christopher Walken, Glenda Jackson, Kathy Bates, Robin Williams, Colin Farrell, Debra Winger, Liam Neeson, John Lithgow, Helena Bonham Carter, Olympia Dukakis, Ritchie Coster, Aidan Quinn, Elias Koteas, Jessica Collins, Nick Chinlund, Kristoffer Tabori, Skeet Ulrich, Michael Sarrazin, Rudolf Martin and Johnny Depp.

I appreciate true acting ability as opposed to "celebrity."

While I detest Clint Eastwood's politics, I do like many of his non-Western films. What can I say? I love Dirty Harry.
