Several names mentioned in this thread might be great actors, but they're not movie stars. To me, a movie star is defined as somebody that can carry a film and almost guarantee a certain amount of box office success due to their presence in a particular movie.I agree with that definition. Of course, when it's strictly applied, a number of great actors listed in the first post don't qualify (e.g., Vanessa Redgrave).
I just remembered someone else who is both a bona fide movie star and a great actor, though often underrated: Eddie Murphy.
