500 days of Summer may be my favourite 'love story' movie, because its just so different, and i think as an actor he has a lot of appeal. I don't think he's ever made a bad movie, giving him a solid and credible career. Looking forward to 50/50, it should be excellent.
13. Andrew Garfield

My love of The Social Network has already been stressed. But, the thing that amazed me most about Andrew Garfield is how good of an actor he actually is. I saw Never Let Me Go, and not only did i think it was the greatest book-to-movie adaptation of all time, but i thought he did an unbelievable job.

17. Heath Ledger
Actor | Brokeback Mountain
When hunky, twenty-year-old heart-throb Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999, it was all too easy to tag him as a "pretty boy" and an actor of little depth. He spent several years trying desperately to sway this image, but this was a double-edged sword. His work comprised ...
Same with Heath. He never made a stinker. Not only did he WOW as the joker, but he redefined an entire franchise. Severely underrated until his dying day. RIP.

Two words...Fight Club. Number 3 in my top 10. He deserves a place in this list for playing one of the most intensely *beep* up characters of all time. And if that weren't enough, Derek Vinyard, another *beep* up character, in a sensational movie. Edward Norton is actually, my favourite actor.

V for Vendetta is my favourite movie of all time, and she was amazing in it. She cut her hair, she lost weight, so changed her accent. And in Black Swan she did nearly a year of intense ballet training. I was blown away by Black Swan, it made me look at her in a completely different light. Never have I known an actress with such dedication. I also have a ready programmed love for anyone thats been in Star Wars.

I can't narrow it down. I think i love everything he's done. Even his down-right stinkers. And he's done some serious STINKERS. For example, I never thought I'd ever see him dancing with John Travolta, but it happened. And I'm glad it did.

He plays, in my opinion, THE greatest character cinema has ever seen. V. V for Vendetta is outstanding, in ever sense of the word. My current favourite movie, and I think it will take a miracle for it to be knocked from its rightful place. Haughting voice. Captivating presence. Overall, a pleasure to watch.
