New! I'm assembling photos for you people who don't know these actors by name (I wouldn't blame you) Just click on linked personages for ye olde head shot.

The List of Prestige

As for the low ranking and near absence of women, women clearly can't act worth beans. Or I am too distracted by the tail to notice the acting?

Actors who have made themselves rich...
Next to each actor is a column to note some of the bad movies they made. While I don't blame them, and quite frankly I would do the same thing given just one opportunity, this is why they are so great that they are conspicuous in their absence, but nevertheless absent from the list of prestige.
 

Christopher Lloyd	Did that martian movie recently.. And all those Back to the Future Sequels! Now he's doing off Broadway (wonderful in waiting for Godot, which I saw, and by the way I was floored because it was also with Tony Shalhoub and John Turturro) and 10-10 commercials (faultlessly entertaining) but once you do a Disney movie, it's over.
Val Kilmer	He was a good Batman, but come on. Bruce Wayne, blonde? Also did The Saint. *sigh* To his credit, he was in Top Gun, Willow, Heat, and Tombstone (Doc Holiday and Mad Marligan were magnificent roles, and he dominated their personas. Utter perfection.)
Matthew Broderick	Starring role in Godzilla killed it, (Jean Reno was only a supporting actor in that, so don't start!!!) he has had many perfect roles, foremost among them "Ferris Beuller's Day Off"
Patrick Stewart	He is THE MAN! Unfortunately, he could not make the list of Prestige. By the way, let's have a moment of silence for our other fearless captain, Bill Shattner. What a way to go, singing for Priceline.com. No Enterprise captain deserved to go down like that.
Mike Myers	The man is good, but he's too famous to need any more credit. One of the few SNL comedians to come out with movies that didn't drag horribly.
Bill Murray	Ditto there. Although he was perfection in the not altogether recent "Rushmore"
Jack Nicholson	There is only one man cooler than Bill Murray and older than Cher, and that man is Jack. Too famous to warrant any more fame.
Antonio Banderas	Hot, hot hot, the man is hot. But he made Zorro -- big mistake. That was the most predictable movie I've ever seen, it made Popeye cartoons seem suspenseful by comparison. (Eat your spinach!)
Mel Gibson	Mel is one damn cool dude, he even gives Jack Nicholson a run for his money. But Ransom and Payback put me to sleep. Sorry Mel.
Robin Williams	Sometimes I have doubted this man's genius, but Williams has proven himself brilliant in all genres of acting, not just comedy. It took him a long time to breach his integrity (Popeye being among the unforgivable sins), but I say good for him. Some of the best roles I have seen him in were "Good Morning Vietnam," "What Dreams may Come" and "Dead Poets Society."
Kevin Kline	Too bad. He was so close! Then he made "Wild Wild West," and although his character was perfect, the movie licked sweaty corpse nut sac.
Sean Connery	Okay, the man is famous, he's a sellout, but we still love him because he's seventy and sexy as sin. Rock on.
Sylvester Stallone	He seems stupid, he has a lot of stupid movies to his credit, but he also has some excellent ones. Although he sold out most of his life, few recollect the fact that he wrote "Rocky." "Rambo, First Blood" was also a fine film.
Harrison Ford	What a man. He has made a few flops, but that is to be expected of someone with his stellar appeal and prodigious film career.
Russel Crowe	Oh, so close. But he should have stayed a little more anonymous -- the leap for fame in a crowd-pleaser Gladiator (which I didn't even really like) was premature and unworthy of the list of prestige.
Eddie Murphy	This man rarely fails to entertain me. But let's not overlook his involvement with the Klumps. Brr.. So for his skills he is on the list of fine, rich actors.

By now you can't help but wonder what kind of movies I watch. Well, here's a list of movies I recommend. They are all rated for your edification. You might want to consult this list when you go out to rent something!
