10. Holden and March.

"No more William Holdens or Frederick Marches, thats for sure."

They were wonderful actors, perfectly cast in that film. But we are no longer in the golden age of war movies. The movies from WWII and Korea were wonderful, but they always portrayed US soldiers as heroes.

Vietnam changed all that.

Wouldn't you agree that Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando were also perfectly cast in "Apocalypse Now"? Dunno about you, but I consider that film also a great one.

There is no shortage of great male actors today. DeNiro, Pacino, Eastwood, Hackman and younger guys like Kevin Bacon, Matt Damon, and Sean Penn are all great actors... the list is long.
