Arnold, I love the guy's work in action but..just cuz he could do comedy doesn't mean he's a great actor. He can play tough guy and badass fine. How are you sure his form of comedy isn't from the develoopment of the director's directoin of him over Arnold's own interpretation of the character. I'm sure he's funny. In interviews and commentaries he's a thrill but as a great actor...I don't think so

Julia Roberts. There aren't many actors more vilified here in the movie forum than she, usually by puerile comments about her appearance as not meeting the posters' standards of beauty.
I will also agree with Tom Cruise, his goofy Scientology antics off-screen notwithstanding.

Tom Cruise -- yes great.
And my choice is:
John Travolta -- I really like when he plays a villain. He just comes across as smart and ruthless. Not really a fan of his early days though. Another victim of his association with Scientology.

I think Arnold is a good choice for the actual meaning of this thread. I won't defend some of his hammy comedy performances, but Arnold did grow as an actor. The performance of his that I always liked was End of Days. The movie itself is kind of crap, but Arnold is really good in it.

Ellen Barkin- she really has done some impressive work but I feel because none of it has been box-office dynamite she doesn't get a high regard. I watched the 1991 movie Switch the other day and she really pulled that off well.
