Which actor, in your opinion, has the best resume, or has made mostly great movies in their career?
In my opinion...

Edward Norton : Fight Club, Primal Fear, Rounders, American History X,etc.

Peter Sarsgaard: Boys Don't Cry, Garden State, Shattered Glass, etc.

Morgan Freeman : Glory, Shawshank Redemption, Million Dollar Baby, Driving Miss Daisy, etc.

Those are a few that I can think of.

Gotta go with Tom Cruise; he's made some great movies and very few bad ones, if any. I don't know that much about Bogart's career, but DeNiro and Pacino have made some pretty bad movies in their careers.

I'll throw Clint Eastwood into the Mix

The Good the Bad and the Ugly
Fistfull of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
The Outlaw Josey Whales
Dirty Harry
Play Misty for Me
Escape From Alcarraz
Unforgiven
In the Line of Fire
Bridges of Madison County
Million Dollar Baby

And the fact that he directed many of these makes it more impressive.

Robert De Niro
Jack Nicholson

I think to play this game you have to take an actors worst stinkers and cancel out their classics. One for one. I'm not making the rules but that's how I'd approach it.

Jack is definitely one of my favorite actors and he has done some great films.
