I have most of the above mentioned films on tape or DVD. I do not go to public theatres anymore since I detest crowds, and prefer watching films in my leisure at home or with friends.

Favorite actors? Peter O'Toole, Daniel Day-Lewis, Alan Rickman, Robert De Niro, John Malkovich, David Strathairn, Christopher Walken, Glenda Jackson, Kathy Bates, Robin Williams, Debra Winger, Liam Neeson, John Lithgow, Helena Bonham-Carter, Olympia Dukakis, Ritchie Coster, Aidan Quinn, Elias Koteas, Jessica Collins, Nick Chinlund, Kristoffer Tabori, Michael Sarrazin, Kyle Gallner, Rudolf Martin and Johnny Depp.

I appreciate true acting ability as opposed to "celebrity."

While I detest Clint Eastwood's politics, I do like many of his non-Western films. What can I say? I love Dirty Harry.
