Glad to see that Cagney made this list. "Made it Ma! Top of the World!"

For me Jimmy Cagney is an all time great/Legend...he did it all sang danced acted, could make you laugh, cry and hold you in every

Gregory Peck, Errol Flynn, Walter Brennan, Ian McKellen, Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton...can't just stop at 10 (IMHO).

Peter O'Toole is my personal favorite. From "Lawrence of Arabia" to "My Favorite Year" he can go from high drama to spot on comedy. With ease.

Daniel Day-Lewis won 3 best actor Oscars, the most by any male. How did he get left out?

Mrgladiatore

These were maybe the most iconic actors ever, but I think they left some great ones out. I think Robert Mitchum was a great actor who was very versatile. He could play many different roles.

Bogart's performance in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is the greatest of all time. He goes way beyond Oscars in that performance.

Jimmy Cagney is the best all around in my opinion. He could do everything!

Wonderful video. Just subscribed! I’m 75 and grew up watching these megastars. When I was just old enough to enjoy movies, my mother and I would watch them together. She was a movie fanatic going to as many as three movies in an day. She showed me how appreciate the dialogue and delivery, the cinematic prowess of the great directors of the 30’s and 40’s …the golden age of Hollywood

Mrkaycee

My choice on top of the list would be the great James Cagney. No Gregory Peck really disappointed.

I thought Fred Astair was wrongly placed in the list, although he was great at what he did!

Boris Karloff was one of the greats. And yes, he did some Westerns !!

Laurence Olivier was regarded as the best by ALL the actors in Hollywood.He had Oscars named after him.Good list but where’s Daniel Day Lews and Jack Nicholson.
It’s hard too choose but probably Olivier was top, as he could act Shakspearre better than any to his collection of films.
