Aww Spider, we have so much in common! 

The only time we’d have grease in common is for use as a late night lubricant.

Ryan Gosling is a most handsome gentleman

Watched an interesting film with Pacino in recently, Cruising directed by William 'The Exorcist' Friedkin.

Pacino plays a cop that goes undercover in the New York gay scene in the late 70s to catch a serial killer (Supposedly based on the real life 'Body in the bag' killings).

Useless factoid, one of the actors who played a medical practitioner in The Exorcist was later convicted of the murder of a gay man). 

I would like to watch that but unfortunately it's not free on Youtube. There's enough free films to watch not to have to pay for anything.Watching For a Few Dollars More tonight

Gary Oldman

Greatest actor of all time in my opinion. Alan Rickman second.

Frustratingly, neither of them have been in a film that I’d shove in a top 5.

Close contenders - Batman, Leon, Churchill, Dracula, Die Hard for Rickman.

But I just feel Oldman has one absolute showstopper in him.

Probably needs to pinch a script off Tom Hank’s’ desk

I thought of 5 overnight David Lee didn't pick, King Kong (which he chose later), The Sting, Psycho, The Wizard of Oz and Back to the Future all up there for me

Between yourself and a couple of others on here, I've added at least 10 more to the list, can't believe I missed out Life Of Brian, The Green Mile, Psycho (1960), The Sting, Pulp Fiction and Die Hard. 

As for Gary Oldman, brilliant actor but has made a lot of bad movies. For me his best performance was as Sid Vicious in the shite-fest that was Sid And Nancy.
