my top 10 actors of all time...

So Justin and I finally went on a movie date last night, and went and saw Grand Torino with Clint Eastwood. It is a great movie, and something I really wanted to see since it was filmed in Michigan, Grosse Pointe area. Clint Eastwood is one of my favorite actors of all time, so I decided to make a list!


#10. Patrick Dempsey- We go WAAAAY back to Can't Buy me Love with this guy! 1987, this was one of the first films I owned on VCR tape! We watched this over and over and over and over again...some of the other movies I love him in was Lover Boy, With honors, Scream 3, Sweet Home Alabama, Lucky 7, Freedom writers, Brother Bear 2 (voice of Kenai) and of coarse on my weekly love...Greys!


#9. Adam Sandler- This guy can always make me laugh! I think I first saw him on SNL. I have seen so many of his movies, I don't think I could list them all. My Favorites are The Wedding singer, 50 First dates, Big Daddy, Reign over me, and Happy Gilmore. Reign over me was amazing, to see him in a different role then all the other movies he is in. he is talented and funny, and I can watch his movies more then once and still laugh.



#8. Chris Farley- again, I think I saw him on SNL first. It pisses me off that Chris Farley was stupid enough to basically kill himself with drugs. He was such a talent.
I would have loved to see what movies we would have seen with him later in his life. he was so full of energy for a big guy... Tommy Boy, and Black Sheep. I still can't believe he has been gone for 11 years.


#7. John Travolta- Grease was another movie the neighborhood girls I grew up with owned and we watched every time we had a slumber party. Some of my other favorites he is in are: Look who's talking, Pulp Fiction, Micheal, Phenomenon, Face off, and Wild Hogs. He freaked me out a bit with Hairspray, Danny Zukow and Drag just don't go together!


#6. Drew Barrymore- E.T. was the big first m movie of coarse. But I remember being excited when Scream came out that she was in it, and then disappointed that she was the first one killed. Since then she has kicked out some good movies, my favorites being, The Wedding Singer, Ever After, Never Been kissed, Riding in Cars with Boys, 50 First dates, and Fever pitch. I'm looking forward to her movie due out soon, He's just not that into you. I love her paired with Adam Sandler.


#5. Meg Ryan- Meg Ryan was on one of my Mom's soaps (As The World Turns-1982) I can't believe I was 7 at the time and remember this but I do. from there the first movie I remember seeing her in was Top Gun. her big line being "Goose, take me to bed or lose me forever!" I think she is Quirky, Beautiful, funny and talented. Some of my favorite movies of hers are, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, You've got Mail, The Doors, When a man loves a women, and City of Angels.




#4. Will Smith- I was totally addicted and memorized his first single as the Fresh Prince with DJ Jazzy Jeff, parents don't understand. I've loved him from the beginning, onto to The Fresh Prince of Bel air, and then onto major movie star. He's going to be around for a while, his movies are just awesome, he is talented and charismatic and married to a cool chic! some of my favorite movies of his are: Hitch, Bad Boys, Pursuit of Happiness, Independence day, and Hancock. I can't wait to see his newest Seven Pounds



#3. John Cusack- I've never seen one of his movies that I haven't liked. I've had a crush on him since...geez as the geek in Sixteen candles, his small part in Stand by me as Denny Lachance. some of my fav's of him are...Say Anything, Grosse Point blank, Con Air, Serendipity, Runaway Jury, Must love Dogs, and Martian Child. He is different, talented and low key. love him:)


#2 Morgan Freeman- The First movie I saw him in was Driving Miss Daisy. he has such a quiet manner to him, but such a presence at the same time.
Unforgiven, The Shawshank Redemption, Se7en, Chain reaction, Kiss the girls, High Crimes, Million Dollar Baby, Gone Baby Gone and the Bucket list are my favorites. though I've seen so many that I just love him in.


#1 Clint Eastwood- I don't know why exactly but Clint Eastwood's movies are just my favorite. They mean something. There is always a great story. I think it started for me with Dirty Harry and Every which way but loose, he has a funny, sarcastic side, and says lines that wouldn't be funny if someone else said them. Unforgiven, line of fire, The Bridges of Madison County, Million Dollar Baby, and just loving Gran Torino He is such a hard ass and a softy at times. As a producer in most of his most recent movies, he just amazes me. Plus his age...damn his is 78 years old...and still making great movies. LOVE HIM!!

I can't forget my Pretty Boy actors I love to watch...Paul Walker, Mark Walhburg, Joaquin Phoenix, Ryan Gosling, and Taye Diggs:)

who are some of you favorites?
