Once he was good, but now I just avoid any recent films that have "Wes Craven Presents" on the DVD cover. They always turn out to be dreadful.

Of course, the old classics are brilliant. 'The Hills Have Eyes' is fantastic, as is 'Last House On The Left' (if a little twisted and disturbing).

Actor - Oliver Platt

Director - Wes Craven

Actor- Morgan Freeman

Director- Hayao Miyazaki

My favourite actors are Tom Hanks and Peter Sellers.....

I hate Tom Cruise, and hes a rubbish actor( Im afraid i had to say that!)

It made my day when that feller squirted him in the eye with that water pistol!( And look at the way he reacted!)

Actor - Morgan Freeman is just class though I do have a certain amount of respect for little Tom Cruise
Director - Spielberg I would say, though War Of The Worlds was phoned in.

Actor - Dominique Pinon: He gives the best performance I've ever seen in my life in the film Delicatesson. I mean, my God, the man plays a CLOWN and he still conveys a sense of nobility of soul that never fails to touch me. He's also awesome in every other Jeunot film. Which leads me onto...

Director - Jeunot. I preferred the stuff with Caro (Delicatesson, City of Lost Children) as both the look and the scripting is awesome. But the childlike joyousness and innocence of Amelie, plus the grand sweep of A Very Long Engagement also impress.


Jesus, have I really picked two Frenchmen as my faves...?

Actor - Johnny Depp

I like a lot of his films...i think he was very good in Charlie and the Chocolate factory and he was brilliant in Pirates of the Caribbean. I have also seen him in Secret Window and i thought he was good in that.

Other than that i reckon Tom Cruise is a good actor.

Actor, I'd probably go for Jack Nicholson. Very versatile - has acted across every genre - and very convincing.

Director I suppose would be Martin Scorsese. Taxi Driver is one of my all-time favourite films. Utterly ridiculous that he's never won an academy award.

Favourite Actor ~ Sean Bean ; that cyncaism and stoical evil he puts into every role is one of the marks of his career, you see him on set and you know, just know, he's one of the villains

As for the director I'd probably go with "the bearded one" at the risk of staying in a safety net. I've liked almost every film of his, the 'infactuation' starting probably with Jaws. However, E.T was a gay film, no doubt great for the kiddy winks though
