1. Morgan Freeman - Shawshank Redemption
2. Al Pacino - Godfather Trilogy
3. Mel Gibson - Lethal weapon series
4. Keanu Reeves - The Matrix Trilogy
5. Tom Hanks - Green Mile
6. Liam Neeson - Schindler's List
7. Anthony Hopkins - Silence of the lambs
8. Sigourney Weaver - Aliens Anthology
9. Sylvestor Stallone - Rambo Series (first movie being my favorite)
10. Arnold Schwarzenegger - Terminator Anthology

I know I went with something slightly different with the trilogy's and anthology's etc but these were a huge influence on me at the time I seen them. There were so many more i could have chosen from but these will do for now.
Not only slightly different you went for different actors :lol:
Must have read my mind as was going to use a few of them on the next list :D

Forgot he was in that one and I have it on DVD.

Another Gangster style film he made was Public Enemies which was part filmed in Chicago. We were there about a week after filming and went to bar/restaurant near the Biograph Theatre (the original theatre where Dillinger was shot and they used in the filming). Apparently Jude law, Christian Bale and rest of the actors had been using the bar during filming and they had photos with the staff all over the walls.
A week or so earlier we would have bumped into them, staff reckoned they were real nice friendly people happy to photo and sign autographs for all the customers.

Great Film but my all time favourite prison based movie is still Cool Hand Luke, but there are some great options in the prison category.

If you've read the books, I have to say Craig because he's the closest to the original idea of Bond, albeit in a modern, woke world.
Connery was in the majority of the better films, though Moore had a couple of very good outings and I really liked Lazenby in OHMSS.

My favourite movie is definitely You Only Live Twice.
The setting is stunning, the women are all gorgeous, the volcano is outrageous and the music is perfect : the best Bond score and theme tune bar none. It works both as a lush instrumental and as a vocal track, with Nancy Sinatra singing.

I also love From Russia, Dr No, Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me, Live And Let Die and Casino Royale (Craig version, not Woody Allen/David Niven) and the superb Skyfall.
