Do any of you have a favorite actor/actress where you would go see a movie just to see them in it?

I LOVE Tom Hanks. I can't tell you of any movie I have missed of his in YEARS. I still remember loving him in "Big" and "Splash" long long ago . Oh, and of course, I loved him in the TV Show "Bosom Buddies".

I just know that most everything that Tom Hanks makes will be good. Some are better than others, but I never miss one of his performances.

How about you?

No, but there are actors/tresses whose work I always enjoy and so if I rent a movie and I know they're in it, then at least part of the movie will be fun. Kathy Bates is one of them, Steve Buscemi, Samuel L. Jackson...lots and lots. And I loved John Candy. I would watch everything he ever did. Wonderful man.

I can't really think of anyone I can't miss in a movie. No one comes to mind. I like the older Dick Van Dyke movies: Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, etc. and even like some of the things he's done on TV, but I can't say I wouldn't miss him.

Anthony Hopkins, Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy ...can you tell I like the Brits? Also, I do like Tom Hanks enough that I see everything he does too.

I would have to agree with you about Tom Hanks. Just about every movie I have seen him in I have enjoyed. I also have enjoyed George Clooney. So he would probably be another one that would draw me into seeing a movie he was involved with.

I do love George Clooney. I am not always a fan of the genre of movies that he chooses, though. So, I am not sure which movies of his I might have seen vs. missed.

It just seems that Tom Hanks is involved in movies that I want to go and see. Of course... when I see he is in it, I then want to see the movie. So, not sure which comes first.

Ten years ago I would have said: Mel Gibson, Bruce Willis and Tom Hanks. But now actors are in such varied movies that there's a few I pass on for each actor. Like "The Ladykillers" with Hanks. I think sometimes the director can be a better bet. I don't miss any of Steven Speilberg's movies. Ridley Scott and Michael Mann are two other safe bets.

I also have to agree, Tom Hanks is an awesome actor.
I have to say that Johnny Depp is one actor whose movies I often watch. Seems his types of movies are the ones I like to watch.
