Marlon Brando<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Brando\u2019s school of acting is considered one of the most influential of all time. His anguished howl of \u201cI coulda been a contender\u201d in \u201cOn the Waterfront\u201d remains one of the most outstanding readings in cinema. Towards the later part of his career, he made some eccentric choices, but even at this point he gave one of his best performances as the mafia don, Corleone in \u201cGodfather.\u201d The movie went on to become one of the most widely watched.

Robert De Niro<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Humphrey Bogart<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He made smoking look cool. He was the top box office attraction during the 40s and 50s. He created a rich and powerful screen image that is widely regarded as iconic. Whether playing ex-con, war hero, detective or more out of the ordinary characters, his combination of traits ultimately gave Bogart a massive romantic appeal. Bogart was the man!<\/p>\n

In a career across several decades, he has to his credit some of the best movies made in Hollywood.

Tom Hanks<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

His career track is the stuff of legends. He is one actor who has made smart choices and refrained from being typecast. He didn\u2019t shy away from playing the hero every now and then, although these roles were usually challenging and complicated. His career soared with two successive Academy Awards for \u201cPhiladelphia\u201d and \u201cForrest Gump.\u201d The quintessential nice guy collaborated multiple times with the best directors in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Dustin Hoffman<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

He was nothing like your standard hero, yet it took him very less time to become one of the most celebrated performers in Hollywood. He frequently portrayed roles that cast him as anti-hero, troubled and even slated for a tragic ending. He was known to be difficult to work with and, at the same time, highly valued for completely engrossing himself in a role. It was the movie \u201cThe Graduate\u201d that served as his breakthrough role. In more ways than one, Dustin Hoffman broke new ground for all other actors. And he doesn\u2019t show any signs of slowing down yet!<\/p>\n

Best Movies \u2013 \u201cThe Graduate,\u201d \u201cKramer vs. Kramer,\u201d \u201cPapillon,\u201d \u201cTootsie,\u201d \u201cRain Man\u201d<\/em> and \u201cAll The President\u2019s Men\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Morgan Freeman<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

His voice alone could win an Oscar. We all would agree. Besides taking a great role to even greater heights, Freeman infuses calmness and perfection in it, outdoing himself every time. He can be somber, he can be funny, he can be intense and he can be god like (literally in \u201cBruce Almighty\u201d). There are no limits for this man. He\u2019s stunned us with his impressive range from musicals to contemporary drama to Shakespeare. If you\u2019re watching a Morgan Freeman film, there\u2019s just no way you could turn it off.<\/p>\n

Best Movies \u2013 \u201cThe Shawshank Redemption,\u201d \u201cMillion Dollar Baby,\u201d \u201cSe7en,\u201d \u201cDriving Miss Daisy\u201d<\/em> and \u201cThe Bucket List.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Gregory Peck<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Gregory Peck made a generation of women swoon with his dapper look, wind-kissed hair and sophisticated casualness in films like \u201cSpellbound\u201d and \u201cRoman Holiday.\u201d His performances embodied perfection, intelligence and class all at the same time. He was one of the most successful actors of the post-war era, working in movies of his own choosing. Always exactly bang on with his performance, not to forget the calibre of the films he chose to be in. \u201cTo Kill a Mockingbird,\u201d \u201cGentleman\u2019s Agreement\u201d and other great films would not have been nearly as significant without him.<\/p>\n
