In Reply to: Who were/are the "Real Men" in the movies? posted by Bambi B on December 08, 2003 at 09:19:53:
Gene Hackman in "Mississippi Burning"...Redford in "Jeremiah Johnson"...
Paul Belmondo (you can choose which film you liked most, there are a few: "La Scoumoune" is my fav, but there are more)...
Lino Ventura...
Max von Sydow...
And letīs throw some Paul Newman in, just for good measure...oh well, and what about some Marcello (Mastroianni)...? And that guy Chaz Palminteri (Bullets over Broadway, A Bronx Story...) will do, too. And Gabriel Byrne does a good job in "Millerīs Crossing", too...
Regards
BF
Follow Ups:
I liked your choices, and would add: Sean Penn, Peter Sellers, Clint Eastwood [in various roles], Alec Guiness, Ralph Finnes and Tim Robbins [if Susan S. likes him....:)].A couple of my least favs: Gov. Arnold, B. Willis, I would include most of Sly Stallone's work as well.

From all them I will only retain Max v. Sydow and I bit my lips about forgetting him, this man is so powerful, no wonder he is I.B. player.
Hackman brings always something with him but he remains mostly in the " supportindg " actor.
Lino ventura was a hell of a guy and a good actor...Patrick
orejones,I have always liked Gene Hackman when ever he appears- there's some kind of projected energy that I like. It's difficult to explain, but you just know that anyone around him isn't getting away with anything- he sees through it.
The actor I somehow pair with Hackman- probably because he is also under appreciated is Robert Duvall- the introverted side.
Marcello too is wonderful and always seem to be on the verge of boiling over into humour. I saw "Intervista" recently and the scenes of his and Fellini's the visit to Anita Eckberg's is a high point.
Max von Sydow in "Seventh Seal"- the best "death" movie. His world weary, iconic knight is just brilliant. Strength in retention.
Cheers,
Bambi B
Max saves this ambitious but ultimately disapointing film.
Mastroianni; Gassman (Vittorio); Liam Neeson, esp. in "Rob Roy."
