Thanks mate, your list ain't too shabby neither! Nice choice with Tim Robbins in Shawshank. I haven't seen Assassination of Richard Nixon yet. I've heard the film is so-so but Penn is very good. I need to get round to checking it out.

Found it! You have to click on 'next entry' every time though. They haven't got it in list form. I guess that's to make people buy the mag or subscribe.
Al Pacino - Dog Day Afternoon and Godfather Part II Katherine Hepburn - The Philadelphia Story Paul Newman - The Verdict
You've got some as well Juke and Robbie.
I would've had Cary Grant for 'Bringing up Baby' as well but I couldn't decide between that and 'His Girl Friday'. And I wanted Rosalind Russell in that too but left her out because of limiting it to ten. And I forgot Grant in 'Notorious' one of my all time favourites.
Reading stuff like that reminds you of other stuff as well.
Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade Roberto Benigni in Life Is Beautiful Bobby Milk in The King of Comedy Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski Ed Harris in Glengarry Glen Ross Donald Sutherland in JFK Forest Whitaker in Bird Christopher Walken in Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead
I'm sure I'll kick myself later for missing someone out, but I'm stoked with that for now.
