Robert DeNiro tops a list of greatest living movie stars in a poll conducted for Empire magazine, the UK's top selling movie magazine. Last year another poll had Pacino at no.1 with DeNiro no.2.
1. Robert De Niro
2. Al Pacino
3. Jack Nicholson
4. Paul Newman
5. Marlon Brando
6. Anthony Hopkins
7. Morgan Freeman
8. Dustin Hoffman
9. Clint Eastwood
10. Sigourney Weaver
11. Gene Hackman
12. Harrison Ford
13. Sean Connery
14. Meryl Streep
15. Ian McKellen
16. Christopher Lee
17. Sidney Poitier
18. Robert Redford
19. Alan Rickman
20. Judi Dench
21. Samuel L Jackson
22. Peter O'Toole
23. Bill Murray
24. Albert Finney
25. Woody Allen
26. Helen Mirren
27. Christopher Walken
28. Ben Kingsley
29. Lauren Bacall
30. John Hurt
Alien slayer Signourney Weaver voted top Actress again I'm happy to say, and very nice to see the old Count Christopher Lee entering the list, oh and look Bill Murray's in there too. 
Whaaat? No Denzel? That's the biggest omission I can see, get Woody Allen out, Denzel Washington in.

Now that Brando has passed on, I think that Hackman should take his place at #5. It's a crime he's not in the top ten and that Sigourney Weaver (Empire's token actress in this poll) is ahead of him, basically on the strength of two films.
\"Film is not created in a vacuum. Rather, it results from a combination of forces and personalities, coupled with limitations of time, budget, and technology, which all converge in a way that is unique to a moment in time.\"--Robert Wise

Well, I guess this isn't reflected on any movies that DeNiro has been in recently.....
Pretty good list, though. I think Christopher Lee should be a bit higher. I love Harrison Ford, but don't know that I would have him that high. He's had some great roles, but that's awfully high in my opinion.

Before people start listing actors that they wanted to see on the list, take notice that the list is of actors over 50. That is why there is no Sean Penn, Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington.
What about Patrick Stewart?

You've got to be kidding me. He's known to most people as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and possibly Professor Xavier. He may be a great actor, but his star power is not that big.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

This accolade comes, despite Bobby's nauseating prediliction for starring in unmitigated garbage over the past several years.
No disrespect to a guy who is clearly a brilliant actor, but, I mean....
Showtime, The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle, Godsend, Analyze That, Men of Honor, Shark Tale...
When did Robert De Niro become Michael Caine?  |
