Not the most flattering pic of Anthony Hopkins - he looks stoned off his nuts!

Haha, no, I suppose it isn't.

I'm torn between Hopkins and Streep ... :(

For me it's either going to be Alec or Meryl...Hmmm

Again... hard decision.
The greatest living female actress Meryl Streep ... vs. 3 great actors and...the legendary Alec Guinness.

Alec Guinness OK... he is an ´late´+ ´foreign´ country actor... but i try it:wtf:)

I went with Streep. She is just too impressive.

Hoffman should win this hands down just for The Graduate.

Streep. No question.

would hold serious weight. But so would something like, "Sir Alec Guinness should win this hands down for The Bridge on the River Kwai", which absolutely fucking blew me away. Haven't seen any of Streep's films, so I can't vote in this round. I'd say Samuel L. Jackson the least favourite though of this round, easily.

While I didn't vote for her I'm shocked Meryl doesn't have more votes.

And pablo, here's a compromise that feature both Hoffman and Guinnes in the same clip:

Dustin Hoffman is better.
10-20-2011 12:36 PM
DoctorDodge

He would be, if it wasn't Guinness. Or at least, if we compared the whole of Hoffman's career to Obi-Wan Kenobi, which is officially to most people sadly, "the only role Guinnes ever played."
10-20-2011 08:38 PM

what DD said

pablo, I love Hoffman (I think I nominated him), but I can't see how he can be better than Guinness. Or how anyone else can.
