Who's the best film Tough Guy?

[yerself]

Private Godfrey from 'Dad's Army'.

I had to vote for Clint ... but I gotta give a special mention to Joe Pesci, and what a great comic actor too! ... Peter Stormare in "Fargo" ... And Woody Harrelson ... lotsa great ones; but, for consistency, Clint.

I don't really like 'tough guy' films, but I must say I find Vin Diesel very easy on the eye!

You obviously weren't looking at his face Anne

[janloot]

[Boeing Guy]

Yes ... Gene Hackman in "The Unforgiven"

But I don't think Bruce Willis deserves any mention. Someone once said that Alan Ladd had two acting styles: Hat on, hat off. Willis does't have that kind of versatility, virtuosity and range. Can never figure out why he was cast in "Pulp Fiction"

Yeah, I kinda agree about the acting style of Bruce, but I guess Die Hard was one of the first films I ever watched that was pure action from start to finish with no stereotype simpering females, full of really funny one liners and Alan Rickman hamming it up like his life depended on it..

We are not giving out Oscars here you know Clint out did Gene Hackman in "The Unforgiven!" after all he killed him.

I don't get Bruce Willis really - cant manage the Diehard series.

Keanu Reeves is very good in the "Matrix Trilogy" and "Constantine".

And Cagney died at the end of White Heat, killed by a gas tank. Damn...out toughed by a pile of metal
