Which actor has the best movies vol. 1

Daniel Day Lewis> Pitt> Bale

What about Cruise?

The Outsiders, All The Right Moves, Risky Business, Top Gun, The Colour of Money, Cocktail, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, Days of Thunder, Far and Away, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview With a Vampire, Mission Impossible, Jerry McGuire, Magnolia, Mission Impossible II, Vanilla Sky, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Collateral, Mission Impossible III, Valkyrie, Tropic Thunder, Knight and Day, Mission Impossible IV, Rock of Ages, Jack Reacher, Oblivion, Edge of Tomorrow, Mission Impossible V . . . And that's still missing a few. The guy rocks despite Scientology.
 
given the fact that he's done so few, compared with other actors, i'd say Daniel Day Lewis is up there.

How would you rank these 4 actors in terms of filmography? Ive only included movies with a 7.0 or better rating but again ratings are subjective.

And one last question. Which actor, out of any actor ib the world, do you believe has the best filmography?



From this list, Bale has the most films that I really dig. Tho, not necessarily because of his acting or roles in said films.

And while I like Bale, I was surprised at just how many of his films I really dig.

That said, Zodiac for some reason -I love that damn film. So well done imo, may be the best film on the any of those lists tho 'The Prestige' is fantastic too.
 
Whenever you ask who the best actor is the correct answer no matter what will always be Tom Hardy.
 
Robert De Niro by a mile:
The Godfather part 2
Deer Hunter
Taxi Driver
Casino
Heat
Goodfellas
Midnight Run
Once upon a time in America
The Untouchables
Cape Fear
Meet the Parents
Raging Bull
Jackie Brown
The Score
Ronin
Analyse This

And more. No one can hold a candle to his body of work. Not even Al Pacino who I consider the slightly better actor of the two. And they are the 2 GOATs.
 
Bale
DiCaprio
Crowe
Gyllenhawhaw

Not a single personal favourite between them, though. I mostly prefer Bale's catalogue because of Batman, and I don't think he was the x factor in any of the movies in that trilogy.
 
Except when they do shit like Righteous Kill together.

Damn right. Robert De Niro has sold out more than Al so I take that into consideration. Little Fockers was hard to watch.

Anatoly Solonitsyn was in four of Tarkovsky's seven films. Therefore he qualifies based on quality, rather than quantity.
