[pres2032]

1. it's amazing what a great actor Morgan is

I hope he wins the Oscar this year.

[pres2032]

4. i know, definitely one of, if not the best actor out there

I thought it was fitting that he played God in Bruce Almighty and the only reason that's not on the list is because his role was relatively minor. Though when he was on screen, he was awsome!

7. I am actually hoping for Jamie Foxx to win this Oscar

because I think Leo should win the best actor oscar. But if Morgan Freeman won this one no arguments from me. He was outstanding as well.

[bigwillq]

15. Foxx is going to win Best Actor

But I really think Freeman will win Supp. Actor. It seems like his time and MDB has momentum on its side.

16. I think Foxx is going to split himself...

if he walks with Best Actor it will have been a squeaker.
Not that we'll know...

[bigwillq]

18. I wish they would release the vote tally

But I disagree...Foxx runs away with Best Actor.

2. Shawshank Redemption.

When I looked at this list I realized that there is not one movie he's been in that is equal to his talents. He's huge!!!

[pres2032]

6. exactly

though se7en comes pretty close, as does Glory

[autorank]

20. Totally agree on Glory. I'm having trouble integrating Seven

as a real experience due to the horror it engendered. The saving grace was the use of Southern California countryside as the setting for the last seen when the city locale was clearly back East. Sends a shiver.

3. Although I wanted to vote for "Shawshank Redemption,"

I voted for "MDB" because he was so amazing in that and I wanted to recognize it. He's just dynamite.

[pres2032]

5. that's defintily on my list of movies to see

[boneygrey]

8. I voted other because

he's great in every movie of his I've seen.

[DODI]

9. I love his movies -- I still remember him from "The Electric Company"

and he is like "comfort food". I love his voice.

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Yep..and Raul Julia was on Sesame Street. Boy!That was a looong time ago

He was Easy Reader!!!!
Excellent description of his voice.
He was also in that movie about South Africa, about the white boy who taught the black people to read. "The Power of One" I think. The kid wrote a song that became an anthem, I think.

On Edit: Forgot about "Driving Miss Daisy" Gosh,. it so hard to pin down just one movie. He is just so great. He makes every movie he is in into a great movie.

[boneygrey]

17. Oh God I almost forgot about that

I was a big fan of Electric Co. Damn you, now I feel old.

[Huckebein the Raven]

10. I liked him as the President in "Deep Impact" but

Shawshank was better.

[pres2032]

11. yeah, he was definitely excellent in that

his speeches were chilling. I actually think that movie is better than Armageddon.

[Huckebein the Raven]

14. That's why I liked Deep Impact over Armageddon

it had a more realistic or rather emotional take on the subject of an Astroid hitting the Earth.

[Warren Stupidity]

12. but I loved glory too.

[truebrit71]

19. Shawshank hands down..one of the best movies I have ever seen...

..a great story, brilliant acting and an uplifting and positive message..

[muse]

24. Isn't that the truth.

I was so surprised when I saw this on video. I kept thinking, "why wasn't this hailed as one of the best movies of all time?" I felt as if I had stumbled across it.

[Ekirh]

21. Morgan Freeman

is someone who I've always considered my favorite actor (And I finally hope the Oscars recognize him this year)

As for movie.. I choosed Shawshank Redemption. Just an excellent film, and Morgan Freeman is absolutely in excellent form in this.

[Dukkha]

22. I just watched Se7en Saturday

The alternate ending was Freeman's character, Somerset, shoots John Doe himself so Mills wouldn't have to to spare him from Jail. Glad they went with the downer ending.

Also R. Lee Ermey originally auditioned to be the killer, playing it as a fanatical southern baptist. I think that would've been cool.

[blueblitzkrieg]

23. I voted Shawshank but it was hard...

2.Million Dollar Baby
3.Se7en

[0007]

25. Shawshank Redemption

But I haven't seen all Of Freeman's movies
