i have to disagree, again. the man is an amazing, top notch actor. several in your list i just can't consider top 10...clint eastwood just makes me think of action movies, very robotic. robin williams while having a great deal of movies i love such as what dreams may come and good morning vietnam, i do not think he belongs in that list. again, i'm forced to type him more as a comedic actor, but i am not discounting his work in the slightest bit. woody allen...just plain meh on that one. maybe as a filmmaker, but not an actor.

i would like to say, most of norton's best roles have not done well in the box office. fight club, american history x, 25th hour, etc. just movies that his best work sticks out in. a good test of those movies is the fact that even though they BOMBED in box offices, they became enormous cult hits. even rounders had the same situation. american history x is still one of my top 5 movies. even the ones that have done rather well, such as primal fear (though that only made around 50-60 mill iirc), red dragon (which to be fair did have a good cast, ralph fiennes, anthony hopkins, harvey keitel, phillip seymour hoffman), and the italian job, he was very good in all of those. i am truly excited for the incredible hulk this summer because this is going to be a summer blockbuster, and it's gonna be really good. besides, the adaptation with eric bana was fucking awful. also, pride and glory coming out in march sounds good.
