Russell Crowe V.S. James Dean and Leonardo Dicaprio V.S. Marlon Brando

[youngSL]

Who do you think is better.

Out of Crowe and Dean.
Well Crowe playing Nash was amazing I coulnd't belive how good he was.For me it would be hard to say but most likely Crowe.

And out of Brando and Dicaprio
Easy for me Leonardo Dicaprio.

Nuff' Said

Wow, I couldn't agree less. James Dean was the coolest motherfucker ever captured on screen (barely edging out the McQueen) and Russel Crowe, is, well a prick. While he's a good actor, he's overrated, Dean is a legend.

Brando and DiCaprio to me is like comparing Orson Welles with Pauly Shore. Brando all the way...Marlon is one of the greatest actors of all time, Leonardo isn't even one of the best actors of his generation.

I do agree.I think Dean is the coolest cat but Crowe's performance was amazing.I don't know now,there both good.

I don't really know much about Dean. What I do know is that Crowe is one of the best actors of this generation (yes, I know he's a prick but so what?) and after having seen him as Jeffrey Wigand and most of all as Nash, I also see him as very versatile and not someone who has to rely on looks and muscles...

Russell Crowe vs. James Dean?That's a pretty tough question.Dean was the rebel of his generation, as is Crowe of his.However, James Dean only appeared in 3 films, athough still very good in all of them.Crowe has turned in some of the most brillant performances of the past five years(The Insider,A Beautiful Mind,Gladiator,LA Confidental)For the better actor and better carrer, I have to go with Crowe.However, James Dean is still the ultimate badass!!

Brando vs. Dicaprio: Your kidding right? Nobody can compare to Brando when he was at his best.NOBODY.

Well, I haven't seen any James Dean's movies, although I do own The Giant. And I love Crowe's work, so my vote goes from Russell Crowe

And I do agree, comparing a legend and a ladyboy is a joke. Marlon Brando all the way.

Well, I think it is interesting when people judge an actor's talent on whether or not he is a prick, or a pretty boy.

Talent should stand alone.

Crowe is an actor with astonishing range. James Dean was in five movies and three of those as the lead. He repeated himself in everyone. All up he was very samey. Only time would have told what heights he might have reached. I think it is a little unfair (to say the least) to compare Crowe and Dean, considering that Dean was cut down before he reached his prime.

Based on what I got though, I am going to have to go with Crowe, even if Dean was a "cool cat."

As for Brando and Di Caprio, I will put them about equal.
