Actors who never let you down film wise

I always have been and will be a massive Arnold Schwarzenegger fan and although there have been one or two duds his action films where perfect 99 per cent of the time IMO

Rather predictably I rate The Running Man Total Recall and the first three Terminators as Arnie,s best

I think Jason Statham and Ray Winstone are the best when it. Comes to Brittish crime films

I also think Michael Sheen is the best UK actor of recent times and when he does his impressions it,s fantastic

When he played Brian Clough in the Damned United it was as though Cloughie had never retired or passed away a brilliantly done impression

Tom Cruise

I cannot say I dislike any of his films and I don't think I could say that about anybody else.

Arnie always delivers, cant say I have ever seen a truly awful film he has made, though I have never watched Hercules in New York.

Tom Hardy - Can't say I really dislike anything I've seen him in. I enjoyed Bronson, Warrior, Inception, This Means War, RocknRolla and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy very much. I look forward now to his portrayal of Bane in the new Batman film.

1. Leonardo Dicrapio - he seems to have gotten heaps better as he has gotten older too.

2. Daniel Craig

3. Arnie - he's only in 3rd place as he is getting old now
4. Gary Oldman
5. Sandra Bullock

Timothy Carey.

The man could make the worst B or TV movie compelling viewing with a mere 5 minute cameo somewhere in the middle.

In One-Eyed Jacks Marlon Brando and Karl Malden spend two and a half hours trying to act each other off the screen and then Timothy turns up and steals the entire film off them both in about three minutes.

If I ever win the Euromillions the first thing I'll do is throw as much money as necessary towards Absolute Films to get a proper release of The World's Greatest Sinner, Tweet's Ladies of Pasadena and whatever remains salvageable of The Devil's Gas.

I've just thought of someone else who should be on my list.

Alan Rickman. He can't help but steal scenes.
