Everyone assumes that directors and writers decide what happens in a movie, but many times the movie star is the most powerful person involved with the project. For instance, when Jim Carrey wanted to make a movie about his favorite number, The Number 23 hit theaters across the country. A much more entertaining abuse of this star power occurs when huge movie stars decide they look awesome doing something, and proceed to force that something into every movie they make. For instance ... #5. Tom Hanks' Career is a Urinary Morality Play Most movie stars use their careers to build up enough credibility to avoid urinating onscreen.
Many people have a hard time separating movies from the real world and some people assume the character is that person in real life Denzel Washington is the first African American male to win an Academy Award for the Best Male Actor category. Washington won this award for his role as Detective Alonzo Harris in the movie Training Day. Surprisingly, this role was one of Washington's most ill-mannered, profane, selfish, and malicious characters. This was definitely the "bad guy" role for Washington and this is the film that won him an Academy Award. The irony in this situation is Denzel has played the good guy for so long that his acting talents were only recognized by the Academy when he played the stereotypical black male role, which is the ignorant, greedy, street thug.

The first movie was Vertigo. I first watched this with my dad and was amazed by how good the acting was. In the movie he is a retired cop who is asked by an old friend to watch his wife’s strange actions.

Noir To The Core According to the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com), 1949’s The Third Man is the only non-American film to have made the American Film Institute’s top 100 films of all time, and ranks number one in the British Film Institute’s BFI 100, a similar list compiled in 1999. The Third Man was not only well-regarded decades after its release, but was a commercial and critical success in its own era. Shot in black and white, and set on location in the ruined post-war city of Vienna, the film explores conspiratorial themes alongside a well-paced espionage narrative. The film is an excellent example of visuals both perfectly serving the narrative and atmosphere and at the same time alluding to something more. The film’s genius is in its success at playing out its themes using each mode of cinematic expression (story, image, sound).
