Eric Bana Poses Wallpaper

Talented Australian actors seem to be commonplace these days in Hollywood. Between Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Russell Crowe, Orlando Bloome, there is some serious star power coming from down under. Another great Australian actor is Eric Bana. Over the years, Bana has starred in some fantastic movies.

But which have been his best films? Here are some of my personal favorites.

The first movie that I will discuss is Munich. In this film, Eric Bana plays a Jewish assassin sent to kill several of the men responsible for the murders of Israeli athletes during the Munich Olympic games.

Another great movie that starred Bana was Hulk. I don't know why they felt the need to replace Bana with Edward Norton, or director Ang Lee with Louis Leterrier. Regardless, I thought Bana played the part well.

Another movie that definitely makes the cut is the newest Star Trek film. Not enough people realize that Bana played Nero, the alien villain in this movie. I was never a fan of Star Trek films until this one came around.

One great thing about Eric Bana is that he can play funny roles too. In Judd Apatow's most recent film Funny People, I found his character to be absolutely hilarious. Whether it was intentionally funny or not is up to debate.

The last movie that makes the cut for me is The Time Traveler's Wife. I am not normally the biggest fan of romance films like this, but this movie takes on a very interesting idea and I would be lying if I said it wasn't an emotionally stirring film.

Hopefully there is at least one film on this list of Eric Bana movies which you have not yet seen. I will look forward to any movie that this up and coming Aussie stars in for years to come.

Ben Stiller Poses Wallpaper

There is no doubt that one of the more talented comedic actors out there is Ben Stiller. Over the years, Stiller has struck comedic gold several times, and at this point it seems that any movie he stars in will do very well at the box office.

But what have been Ben Stiller's best films of all time? Here are my personal favorites.

It goes without saying that Meet The Parents has to be included. I didn't care for the sequel, but the original movie is absolutely hilarious. Stiller and Robert De Niro are great as adversaries in this hilarious comedy that is appropriate for people of all ages.

There's Something About Mary is another movie that is absolutely hilarious. The first time I saw this movie, I was blown away by how unexpectedly funny this movie was. Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon also star in this one.

ropic Thunder is another movie that I would definitely include on this list. This movie has it all, and the best part is how clever the plot is. This movie is so funny and Tom Cruise steals the show.

Another film that I would definitely include on this list is Keeping The Faith. This is a grown up comedy of sorts, and I loved it. Ben Stiller plays a rabbi while Edward Norton plays his best friend, who just happens to be a priest. Sounds like the start of a joke.

Heavyweights is the final film that makes my top five Ben Stiller movies. I have nothing but fond memories about this comical movie about a fat camp and the evil man who runs it. This is a similar role that Stiller plays in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.

Bruce Willis Poses Wallpaper

Simply put, Bruce Willis is one of my favorite actors. There is no movie the guy has been in that I truly cannot stand, and there are only a handful of actors I can say that for. Not ot mention the fact that Bruce Willis has done way more movies than most other actors in his age bracket.

This article will cite some of my personal favorite roles that Bruce Willis has played over the span of his illustrious career.

While many people do not care for M. Night Shyamalan movies, there are a few that are worth seeing. Above all else, the man's two best directed films both star Bruce Willis, the better of the two being The Sixth Sense. This movie set the standard for the modern twist in Hollywood cinema.

If you have yet to see Twelve Mnokeys, then you are missing out big time. This movie had me thinking about it for weeks on end, and is one of those films that the more you watch it, the more you pick up on.

Who can have a list of Bruce Willis films without giving some love to Armageddon. I am not always the biggest fan of Michael Bay films, but the man knocked it out of the park with this movie, as it is one of the greatest action films of its generation.

One film that certainly needs to be mentioned on any article discusses Bruce Willis' finest work is a Die Hard film. Everyone has their own favorite and for me, it never got better than the original. That is not to say that I did not like the others; it is probably my second favorite action franchise (right behind The Terminator) but for me the original set the precedent for the rest.

Another awesome Bruce Willis movie that makes my cut is The Whole Nine Yards. Bruce did an incredibly convincing job in this crime comedy as the part of Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski.

The last film I will mention on this list may come as a surprise to some, but it is none other than Lucky Number Slevin. Sure, it was just a small role, but this movie is just awesome and feel that it deserves a shout out.

Eddie Murphy Poses Wallpaper

Eddie Murphy is not only funny but incredibly gifted at adapting the persona of other people. In one skit for SNL, he endured hours of makeup to take on the role of a white man to see how many places he could walk into and be accepted as such. He is so adept at taking on other characters that people are often shocked by how many roles he has taken on in a single film. For his role in the Nutty Professor, for instance, Eddie played the title character, his alter ego Buddy Love and the professor's entire family.

In addition to memorable roles on screen, this talented actor has provided voice work for animated classics, including the voice of Donkey in the Shrek series. Prior to that series, Murphy provided the voice for a dragon in Mulan, a Disney animated film. He is one of the highest grossing actors to date and although he has been nominated for several awards through the years, he did not manage a win until 2007, when he won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in the movie Dream Girls. He received an Oscar nomination for that role as well.

The movies and other projects that Eddie Murphy has worked on have either been commercial and critical successes or total failures. There have been some that have straddled the line, either making money but being loudly panned, but for the most part, his roles have been love them or hate them. Some of his roles have been loosely based on people he knew or people that he admired.

In addition to movies and stand up specials, Murphy is also a singer and has released albums. He had one song that became a hit and was often played on popular radio stations during the height of his popularity. Indeed, Eddie Murphy is a truly a gifted artist.

He earned his first Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of boxing legend Muhammad Ali in Michael Mann's acclaimed biopic Ali. Smith more recently starred in and produced the critically acclaimed, true-life drama The Pursuit of Happyness. His performance brought him his second Academy Award nomination, his fourth Golden Globe nomination and a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award nomination for Best Actor.

Adam Sandler Poses Wallpaper

Adam Sandler definitely falls in the list of good comedians. He did not gain fame due to his stand comedy acts. He instead gained popularity courtesy the novelty songs and albums that he made containing funny prank calls.

Afterwards, he turned his attention towards Hollywood, and there has been no stopping him ever since.

If we were to make a list of some of his good movies, then the list will be quite long. The movie that would deserve to be mentioned first is Billy Madison. Adam got much of his initial popularity due to this film. The movie is extremely funny. Even if you watch it several, you are still going to like it.

Click is out of line with typical Adam Sandler movies. This movie has a serious message to give. He stars opposite the beautiful Kate Beckinsale. The movie also stars the great Christopher Walken.

Sometimes, you just want to lose yourself in a silly comedy movie. You just want something that would take your mind off your daily problems and make you laugh. Little Nicky is one of those movies. Adam Sandler was given the role of Devil's son, who was a good guy. He did great in this role.

Bulletproof was something that is to be appreciated. The movie is great to view the best time. However, if you view it the second time, you would not like it as much. Damon Wayans was also a part of the cast. This was the time when he was at the climax of his career.

Adam Sandler has also bought something to the screen for sports fans. He depicted the role of a temperamental golfer in Happy Gilmore. It was an amazingly funny movie.

Another movie that should not be left out is Dirty Work. In this movie, Adam did not play the main lead but still he appealed a lot through his great acting.

Nicholas Cage Poses Wallpaper

If you want to talk about prolific actors who continue to churn out movies year after year, Nicholas Cage has to be at the top of the list. Sure, the guy has found himself in financial difficulties, which may help to explain his current splurge of roles in a new movie almost every two months, but the guy can act and remains one of my favorite actors.

Here are some the greatest Nicholas Cage movies from the past two decades.

I will start out by discussing Lord Of War, a film in which Nicholas Cage plays Yuri Orlov, a Jewish arms dealer that rises from nothing to become a lead supplier of guns in the African wars. Jared Leto also stars in this film and plays a very convincing druggie.

Another great Nicholas Cage film came out recently to limited release. That movie was none other than Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call, New Orleans. Sure, it's a wordy title, but don't let that stop you from seeing this dark film in which Cage plays one of the most corrupt cops I've ever seen.

A movie that came out earlier this year (2010) that was incredibly enjoyable was Kickass. Cage played a superhero in this film, but one thing I loved about this marketing campaign was that it never credited Cage as being the star of the film.

I would be remiss to make a list of Nicholas Cage films without mentioning Con Air. In Con Air, he plays Cameron Poe, a retired marine who is imprisoned for an act of self defense and has to get through John Malkovich of all people, before he can get home to see his daughter for the first time.

On the softer side of things, one film of his that I really enjoyed was It Could Happen To You. I normally am not a fan of romantic dramas, but this film felt real and was a feel good movie. This one definitely has my seal of approval.
