UK actor would have to be John Simms, started because of his role in Human traffic but onwards from that in some TV shows over the past few years. A close second would be Christopher Eccleson. Third is Daniel Craig.

US actor has to be Johnny Depp, he's done so many varied roles and characters. A very skilled and funny guy. But my favourite remains the film adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. He is also very good in Blow.

Ok seriously...

Best new film... District 9, closely followed by the Lord of the Rings films.

Best classic film... Star Wars, Withnail & I or something like Time Bandits or The Thing.


Best Actor.... The underling who works for me, when he phones up to say he won't be in work today, he's got a terrible cold and is at deaths door. You were fine yesterday you malingering lazy idle s*d....

Hmmmm, good one. Favourite film... changes lots, but I really really like Face:Off, both Kill Bill's, Sin City and the Matrix.

Favourite actor, erm, most likely Bruce Willis. No idea why, but I normally like any film with him in

Fave actors for me are either Johnny Depp or Nicholas Cage. Tend to like the rolls Johnny Depp takes on, the dark, humerous sort of characters which are just weird lol! I quite like his "Flamboyant" movement aswell which sounds really gay lol? But it's just cool lol!

As for Nicholas, I don't quite know what it is but just think he's a great actor.

As for films, i;m gonna be a sadass and say my fave film is Initial D Stage 3 lol :oops:

I'm no film critic really am i lol? :lol:
