Great actor and director.


Hollywood is a better place because of his work. One would be challenged to name 10 people with a better resume.

Had the biggest films. Acted, directed, and produced. Won all the Oscars.

People who work with him love him.

I second that.

There’s nothing else to discuss. His films are great. The people who’ve worked with him loved doing it.

reply

And he can do ANY genre! Action, comedy, western, period piece, Shakespeare, rom-com, drama, etc.

Mel ALWAYS delivers. One of the last of the great movie stars.

Don’t forget dystopian post apocalyptic future.

But honestly Braveheart has to be considered one of the best movies of all time.

I've been a fan since I was a kid. I grew up watching his movies in the 90's. Loved Lethal Weapons and many others but the first time I saw Mad Max 2 it completely blew my mind, still one of my favourite movies.

Road Warrior was totally badass when it came out.

Agreed, I think he may drink too much and talk dumb shit when he's wasted but as an actor and director he is top shelf always👍

It's not like he murdered anyone, he just acts stupid when he's wasted...I know a dozen guys like that but TMZ isn't stalking them

No argument here. Big fan of his work.

The man is immensely talented. I remember seeing Apocalypto in the theater, going into it with exceedingly high expectations and still being in awe of nearly every scene.
