One that I didn’t even think of but has to be a top 5 for me is Morgan Freeman. He’s done some fantastic roles over the years. Shawshank, Driving Miss Daisy, Glory, Lean on Me. I’m sure I’m forgetting numerous others.

You got me curious...it was his 3rd movie. Next one was Mr. Mom which was a good movie as well. Another which followed 2 movies later was Gung Ho....which sort of went under the radar. I thought it was a funny movie. He got pretty big after this run.
And if you're wondering about Barney Rubble, naw---he'd been doing tv for years at this point and likely made a few cameo appearances in several movies along the way.;)

Lots of good ones mentioned so far and Michael Keaton is underrated. Didn’t see Gary Oldman who is usually pretty solid.

When I saw you post Gary Oldman, it made me remember another very overlooked actor....at least in my opinion. Gary Sinese. Not a huge load of movies, but great acting on his part in every one of his I've seen.

Two MCU starters were excellent in The Hurt Locker, Jeremy Renner and Anthony Mackie

Renner is awesome. He's incredible in the Town.
I also forgot Pesci. For all his great roles in Goodfellas, Casino, etc., With Honors may be my favorite.

Here is how i REALLY know an actor did a good job, like Renner did in The Town... I fukkin HATED him and wanted to punch and/or shoot him in the fukkin face everytime he did something counter to the plan.

To take it a step further in how well he nailed that part, I actually didn't really feel that way about his character. I always empathized with his situation. Where Doug consistently had a plan in place to get out, Coughlin couldn't wrap his head around any other life. Good guy but destined for a bad ending. I've known people like that and it resonates with me. So as much as he could be infuriating, his acting also made you(me at least) see that side as well.
Now his sister...

As an Iggles fan you can relate... know it's a bad situation, but don't see a way out. So throw that battery.

Lakeith Stanfield is underrated and very good in the roles I’ve seen him in . My favorite is probably a flip of the coin between Tom Hanks and DiCaprio. Hard to top Tom with Spielberg or Leo and Scorsese .

I understand sparkplugs are an acceptable alternative.
