Hahaha, if Bogart is over-rated I'm Charles Manson's lover.  |

I guess I would agree with the list pretty much as Wikipedia has it. I was glad to see some important silent stars in there.

Jill, you are an amusing woman.
J and Speedy, who are over or under for you among stars in the list?

I don't know that there are any on the list that I would feel should not be there. There are some I don't particularly like that much—Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Mae West, Lauren Becall are some. But they are important actors. So I wouldn't say any are over-rated. As far as the order they are in, I wouldn't argue too much with that, either. I'd have liked to see Jimmy Stewart as No. 1, I guess.

Garbo is really good-looking, but her performance does not give me interest.
Among Stewart's films I have watched, only Rope was favorite yet.

My wife likes "Rope", a Hitchcock based on a real incident, by the way, but I find it tiresome. My favorite Stewart film is "The Far Country" (1955), a Western where Stewart plays a hard-as-nails cattle drover, and he's a cynical cuss, besides, with Walter Brennan as a side-kick who tires of the cynicism and tries to "convert" Stewart. Well done show - if you like Westerns. As for Garbo, I love her silents! Her sound films move like molasses for me, and I find her ever so pretentious as an actress in sound. But - that's just me... |
