Let Ryan Reynolds try to beat Bogart or Nicholson. Good enough movies arent being made that often anymore...
The Shining Reds The Border Terms of Endearment Prizzis Honor The Witches of Eastwick Ironweed Batman A Few Good Men Blood and Wine Mars Attacks As Good As it Gets About Schmidt The Departed The Bucket List
NICHOLSON: The Raven Easy Rider Five Easy Pieces Carnal Knowledge The King Of Marvin Gardens The Last Detail Chinatown The Passenger Cuckoos Nest The Missouri Breaks The Last Tycoon CONT
BOGART: The Petrified Forest High Sierra The Maltese Falcon Casablanca The Big Sleep Key Largo Treasure of Sierra Madre The African Queen In a Lonely Place The Caine Mutiny Beat the Devil The Barefoot Contessa The Desperate Hours The Harder they Fall CONT
He has had no successor and probably never will. The same can be said of most of the stars of the 1930s and 1940s

I agree with that across the board. While the Golden era stars were templates of sorts for modern stars...modern stars were/are modern.
Nicholson was called the new Cagney after The Last Detail and the New Bogart after Chinatown. But he was just using their templates to be...Nicholson
However both Bogart and Nicholson shared
a never to be repeated trait. They appeared in more classics than any of their peers.

Platt started off merely "hefty" and became flat out fat in late middle age.
Oliver Reed was pretty much the stapping and thick musketeer in his versions.
I much more identified with Reed and Platt than skinny guys Richard Chamberlain Michael York and Chris Donnell.
Thanks to the two Olivers for giving me a Musketeer role model!
Sheen and Suthlerland were slim AND cool, though.
I left out Frank Finlay...the forgotten Musketeer. He was OK.
Cliff Robertson WON the Best Actor Oscar in 1968, the same year he played Shame for the second time.
Damn. What an oversight!
You got a lot i did not know. I
wonder..did Eli Wallach ever get nominated? He was one of the Mr.Freezes..
Art Carney.
I dont know, but he can be clearly seen and credited in Bogdanovichs two movies after this one...The Last Picture Show 1971 and Whats Up Doc 1972.
Montgomery Clift?
She played a waitress. Columbo brought a donut bought elsewhere to her restaurant table to eat. She sternly scolded him and forced him to give the donut to her and took it away. Columbo was shocked and then sheepish. Rumor is tha Universal boss Lew Wasserman, a friend of Jamie Lee's divorced parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, helped Jamie Lee get this and other small parts at Universal, including one in a TV series called Operation Petticoat, based on a movie that starred Cary Grant and...Tony Curtis...
If General Barry Corbin would ...so would I! I would follow him into the gates of hell..
Perhaps eventually ONLY Wes Anderson will hire him. They seem to get along.
Oppenheimer is counterprogramming to Barbie....for a different audience.
Yep. Same here. Bar and movie district. Women and girls in pink everywhere. Successful promotion...
Thank you! I enjoyed reading your insights on the "other" levinson and link tv films.
One tiny correction: Prescription Murder:( the stage play ) premiered in Los Angeles but never made it to Broadway.

Aha. I didnt remember that but it is my goal to make posts that set the stage for a more complete answer. Thank you!
I suppose there could be more than one about a porn star but i think this the one.
