Robert Duvall doesn't have the ton of huge box office hits that some of the other actors do. But that's as impressive a catalog as any actor. His best ten films will match up with anybody's else top ten.

Sure and I love Duvall although he wasn't the central figure - maybe not even 2nd or 3rd) in Mockingbird, True Grit, MASH and the Godfather movies. At that time he was more of a character actor than a lead actor - but he brought such realism and depth to every role. He was great in all of them for sure. But his greatest works came later in bigger roles.


FYI you also forgot these great films:

A Civil Action - nominated for academy award
The Judge - nominated for supporting actor as the judge
Colors - very controversial in its day but he was great
Stalin - made for TV movie he won the Golden Globe for the lead role of Stalin
Broken Trail - won the Emmy for primetime movie or miniseries actor


and these highly memorable great roles in some otherwise mostly forgettable movies.

Days of Thunder - crew chief Harry
Deep Impact - Col. Sturgeon (Fish) Tanner
Jack Reacher - Cash the gun range operator and vet


He's top 10 for me for sure.

John Ratzenberger...

he's in pretty much every great Pixar film, plus he was in Empire Strikes Back, Gandhi and Superman II

You're forgetting Bullitt, an excellent movie.

Robert Duvall is great!

Bill Murray
Billy Crystal
Adam Sandler
Woody Harrelson
John Goodman
Jeff Bridges
Joe Pesci

And of course Christopher Guest

Nowhere near Cruise level movie success, but John Cusack needs some props.

It was a deleted scene, though I don't think you don't ever see his face.

His wife at the time wrote the screenplay. He was cast as a teacher. Showed just the back of his head. But the scene was deleted. Kinda like Costner in the Big Chill.

although Costner was still in the movie technically - just as a corpse without his face shown being dressed for the funeral by the mortician.

his cut scene was a flashback.

Robert Duvall and it's not even close. Best actor alive today.

He was. The scene is actually included in the special edition laser disc that I still have (yeah, I was one of about a dozen people who actually bought those damn things, which now are nothing but a bunch of worthless paper weights occupying space in my house). Could not see his face as the camera was set up behind him and focused on Elliot. He did talk, so his voice was recognizable.

You'd put him above DeNiro or Pacino?

Gene Hackman also had some good roles over the years.

Didn't see Paul Newman mentioned. He kicks ass as an actor in a **** ton of movies.

IMDB has a 35 best films starring Newman. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls001897674/
