I kind of had a feeling that Laughton would win overall. He's my 3#, with Gable as first and Stewart second.
Louis: Ratings and thoughts on:
Cary Grant in Only Angels Have Wings (Best dramatic performance from him)
Basil Rathbone in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
William Powell in Another Thin Man
Melvyn Douglas in Ninotchka
Charles Boyer in Love Affair
Tyrone Power in Jesse James
Oh, and for Alternate Supporting:
Lee J. Cobb in Golden Boy
Ralph Richardson in The Four Feathers
Cedric Hardwicke in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
Ray Bolger and Frank Morgan in The Wizard Of Oz
Lee J. Cobb in Golden Boy
Ralph Richardson in The Four Feathers
Cedric Hardwicke in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
Ray Bolger and Frank Morgan in The Wizard Of Oz
Thomas Mitchell in Gone With The Wind
Louis: I've heard that John Goodman has given some of his very best work in 10 Cloverfield Lane.
I suggest the Oz 3 + Morgan. For my money, I'm partial to Lahr.
Lee J. Cobb in Golden Boy
Ralph Richardson in The Four Feathers
Cedric Hardwicke in The Hunchback Of Notre Dame
Ray Bolger and Frank Morgan in The Wizard Of Oz
Leslie Howard and Thomas Mitchell in Gone With The Wind
Okay, is NO ONE going to suggest Lahr but me?
=D its not like he hasnt seen it lol so im not really bovered who out of TWOZ gets reviewed lol.
Lee J Cobb is the curious one for me, a hidden gem perhaps?
Louis: Your thoughts and rating on Only Angels Have Wings and Gunga Din?
Louis what would you say had the scariest hound, the 39 version or the 59 version of Hound Of The Baskervilles?
Jean Renoir - The Rules of the Game
Cedric Hardwicke - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Claude Rains - They Made Me a Criminal
Frank Morgan - The Wizard of Oz
Lee J. Cobb - Golden Boy
Lon Chaney Jr. - Of Mice and Men
John Barrymore - Midnight
Thomas Mitchell - Gone With the Wind
Ray Bolger - The Wizard of Oz
Bert Lahr - The Wizard of Oz
Ralph Richardson - The Four Feathers
I am definitely saving Renoir and Chaney for bonus, seems they would fit perfectly there.
Surprising, I thought Gable was going to win
Louis is Another Thin Man any good and in the same league as the first 2?
I should note of seen parts of the 39 Mice and Men, and I can't see how Chaney would be supporting.
Anonymous:
Grant - 4.5(A very good combination for him as there are some pseudo screwball elements within the part, which he does well with, but they are only part of the performance. He does very well with the more dramatic elements of his character too by basically threading them through his usual charm in quite the effective way to suggest the mentality that a pilot must take)
Rathbone - 4.5(A more than fine reprise for him)
Powell - 4.5(The magic between him and Loy is still to be found, and he's as enjoyably sardonic as ever)
Douglas - 3.5(I do think he's overshadowed a bit by Garbo's hilariously deadpan performance but he does facilitate that well through his sort of haphazard bumbling routine he does. He's charming enough that he works, though again Garbo's the film really.)
Boyer - 3(Always find him a bit strange as a romantic lead I'll admit to begin with, he seems a better fit when he has a few alternative motives. Again he does seem a little cold here, and is overshadowed greatly by Dunne. I don't think he's genuinely bad as he does have some good moments with her in there)
Power - 2.5(He has one really good moment near the end were James seems to reflect on his shortcomings for a moment. Unfortunately that's a brief moment where the rest of it is Power being his usual bland self that feels particularly underwhelming since the film is trying to establish some sort of personal descent)

Yes Another Thin Man is good. I would not recommend it as highly as the first two, but it's still pretty entertaining due to Powell and Loy.
Louis: If The American was made in the 50's, who would you have chosen for the lead role? I think I'd choose Gable. He would have been interesting, I think.
Louis, why isn't Jack Reynor in the rankings for Macbeth for 2015? I honestly thought he was surprisingly powerful for a small role.
Thoughts and ratings for Cary Grant and Victor McLaglen in Gunga Din and George Brent in Dark Victory
Is Donat now a 5?
Just got back from 10 Cloverfield Lane. Fun B movie. Frankly I found Goodman a tad overhyped. Winstead, however, is a goddamn marvel.
Anonymous:
I'd like Gable in that role.
Robert:
Thanks for reminding me since I agree.
ruthiehenshallfan99:
Grant - 3(I feel he goes a little too big at times, but for the most part his screwball energy still works. His best ones though I feel are his more dramatic moments near the end, but I don't quite feel the entirety of his work here is cohesive)
McLaglen - 3.5(He more effectively goes big in playing a brash British soldier as he should. McLaglen measures his performance though in order to make the dramatic moments more naturally find themselves even within his blustery frame. It's an entertaining performance to be sure)
