Monday Movies - Screen Legends!


Feature Presentation...
MONDAY MOVIE MEME



Today's theme from The Bumbles is all about Movie Screen Legends! The theme was suggested by The Gal Herself from One Gal's Musing who is a fan of the classics, as am I, and was interested in AFI's list of screen legends. Who do you think will be the screen legends of the future? The Bumbles point out, quite astutely, that Meryl and Denzel are obvious choices for future screen legends but what about those actors and actresses under 50? Great question! Who among the under 50 crowd might reach legend status in the next 25 years or so? I admit I thought about this for a long time. There are many, many great actors under 50 but screen legends are on a different level. My choices are listed below.
If you want to join in, list your choices for future screen legends on your blog and then be sure to link to your blog to The Bumbles Blog. If you don't have a blog, list your choices in the comment section of The Bumbles Movie post!

I apologize for my lazy list! We've all heard of these actors, right?!


Johnny Depp (47 years old)

Kate Winslet (35 years old )

Tom Cruise (48 years old)

Nicole Kidman ( 43 years old )

George Clooney (49years old)

  1. Clooney makes me swooney. He is just so handsome, and not a half bad actor either! I did give some though to Kidman and Depp and Winslet. I hope they are able to continue to make good choices and grow to be some of the greats!

  2. I agree that these are all great actors! I guess I have a problem with thinking of them as being that old! lol lol Lately I'm thinking I would add DeCaprio to that list myself.

  4. Sandy: I think George Clooney is Handsome, intelligent, has a great sense of humor and he's very talented. It's hard to imagine he won't be a screen legend one day but I think the movie business is pretty fickle!
    I think when you look at what Tom Cruise has done and the power he yields, it's very possible he'll become a screen legend, but who knows! lol It's fun to think about it!

  5. Jo-Jo: I agree with you that it's hard to think of these actors as in their late 40's...and some were too old to include in my post! Leonardo DiCaprio is definitely screen legend material, I agree with you Jo. I didn't list him because most of the other contributors had Leo on their list. I guess I should have included him anyway!

  8. Nicole is terrific isn't she? I loved her in To Die For. I'd consider her ex a legend too. They were both very good in Far and Away.

  10. I think you're absolutely right about Johnny Depp and George Clooney. Both are not only good looking but have really built a catalog of great movies with broad appeal. And did I mention they're both good looking? YUM!
