I'm a big fan of Edward Norton (he's brilliant in Primal Fear!).
Fassbender is another terrific actor.
Di Caprio and McConaughey are two names I never thought I'd be tossing up in a discussion about best actors.

If Paul Giamatti can get back to his best, ill put him up there. always been a fan.
same goes for Gary Oldman

Ed Norton should've sacked his agent about 15 years ago.
I don't know about best but I usually find Juliette Stephenson and David Wenham are worth watching.
Fassbender is probably the one that has stuck out to me the most over the last few years. Incredibly versatile and should really have had an Oscar for Shame.
Ed Norton is crap.
Yeah, Edward Norton has made some questionable career decisions since the turn of the century really.
Right here, right now: Fassbender, McConaughey, Joaquin Phoenix, Cranston.

Sexist!
Ehrmm.
Ah.
Mind you, isn't "actress" supposed to be a slightly sexist term? They're all male and female actors now, right?

I would Daniel Day Lewis up there, but he makes 1 film every 4-5 years and even though his acting is incredible, there's such a limited amount of films I can watch with him in it!

For actresses, once we've got the obvious Merryl Streep out of the way, there's still some excellent picks: Jessica Chastain is great and is going to have a brilliant career, as is Jennifer Lawrence. Cate Blanchett and Charlize Theron when they can be bothered. I have a soft spot for Amy Adams and Judi Dench. I don't rate Scarlett Johansson that highly but I haven't seen Under the skin yet.
Kathy Bates and Jessica Lange are brilliant as well. I like Robin Wright also and Rooney Mara as given some great performances.
Carey Mulligan could become one of the greats as well. Elisabeth Moss shows great range in Mad Men but I'd like to see her be as good in something else. I've heard a lot of great things about Shailene Woodley but only saw her in White bird in a blizzard (in which she was excellent), so I haven't really seen enough of her.

DDL is the greatest I have ever seen
De Niro is my favourite though

That will do for me.
Gary Oldman is pretty amazing really, especially when you hear him talk in person, you realise he has virtually never acted with his own "voice" he has always had to act with a regional or foreign accent as he is totally awwwwite geeza cockney.
Of 'younger' actors, I love Cumberbatch of course and I think Tom Hardy is excellent and there seems to be a lot of work going into his pronunciation and accent for each of his roles. I don't think I've seen a film with him in it where he wasn't excellent.
I found his Welsh accent in Locke absolutely unnecessary and infuriating.
The gif is all you need really.
I'm a big fan (and not just because he's so dreamy looking).
One of those rare breed of actors who hardly ever appears in a film that I won't enjoy watching.
Haven't seen Locke so I can't judge and what gif?
You're a good man Pogue.
her in the nip.
Send me a PM.

I'm also at work, which is why I was asking you.
you're in France though, naked people are ok there.I'm also at work, which is why I was asking you.
I don't think Di Caprio picks the right roles really, he still makes good movies but not so much ones where his performance can stand out that much. He has been exceptionally good since he was a kid, his performance in what's eating gilbert grape is amazing and he was robbed of an Oscar.
It's still frowned upon in a professionnel browser search history.
Ctrl + Shift + N dumbass.
I don't speak Irish therefore I do not understand your post.
Tom Hardy is an immense on screen presence. What Christian Bale had before he stopped trying.
Edit: actually Bale's been excellent in The Fighter and American Hustle, his non-performances in the big action films have coloured my recent view of him a bit.
