    I'm not sure where they got the list of actors, but a top 50 that doesn't include Meryl Streep? #robertebert

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Now that you mention it, where's Denzel Washington or Will Smith? (They should've been top 50)

    The wording on the other site doesn't source their list, so we might have to assume that it's whomever popped into the author's mind.

    @Go Like Hell Machine: Now see, Freeman is a great actor, but he has made some cash-based choices.

    And because you've given me a chance to clarify my original response; I didn't mean to imply that Will Smith is in the pantheon of great actors, but most people find him watchable and the critics like him.

    @Grandpapular: Okay - You've got me there, but by most measures, Meryl Streep is considered the greatest living actress and Denzel Washington isn't very far behind. #robertebert

    @Magister: Yeah, but both Meryl and Denzel make A LOT of movies, and not all of them good, so even though they have a lot of plusses, they're balanced out by quite a few minuses. The top ten (with the weird exception of Hanks) star in fewer movies, but they tend to be good ones, so they might have fewer plusses, but almost no minuses, giving them higher scores. #robertebert

    @AlmostDream:
    I'm a little hard-pressed to think of a badly-reviewed Meryl Streep film and your suggestion might explain the "Nerds of the Rings", but Ethan Hawke?

    Not to mention that there was a time, Martin Sheen would be in any movie with a checkbook. He has slowed down some since the the West Wing residuals have been rolling in, but he's still in a lot of films and though he's a very good actor, you can't say that all of his movies have been good.

    @Magister: She-Devil, starring Roseanne. It might have single-handedly kicked her off the list. But this list really punishes the prolific. Too many mediocre movies can pull down the score. #robertebert

    That mouse quote is actually a ripoff of a quote Jimmy Cayne used to rip Tim Geithner in House of Cards. Only in Jimmy's telling it was a flea. Maybe it's an old-people proverb.

    Does anyone else think that Ebert losing the ability to speak has freed his mind in some fashion? Or maybe, like Daredevil, losing one ability has led to improvement in other abilities such as writing?
