    Steve Buscemi 5 Vs 5 Julia Roberts

    Going for Julia here, as much as I dislike her in movies. She was the leading actress of the 90s whereas Steve was move a support actor.

    Tom Hanks - Both my noms so happy for either to go through but Hanks the stand out in this battle imo.
    Leonardo DiCaprio - Leo had some fabulous movies in the latter part of the 90s. Probably came into his own a bit more in the Noughties but as I already said I just don't find Carrey that funny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Tom Hanks ; because Steve Buscemi should be here... well actually, Hanks is also one of my noms and even if Buscemi was here, I'd be voting for Hanks anyway, so I guess it worked out...

    Jim Carrey ; one of my noms and I'd associate Carrey with the '90s more than I would DiCaprio (Titanic aside) anyway


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,405 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Tom Hanks Vs Julia Roberts - ah Jaysus, I can't even decide who I dislike more so I can vote against them.
    Jim Carrey


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Julia Roberts - biggest and breakthrough female star of the 90s

    Leo Di Caprio - talented actor from the beginning

    Tom Hanks - I love Julia Roberts, but Tom Hanks epitomizes 90s, at least 5 great performances.
    Leonardo Di Caprio - this one is closer, I will give it to Di Caprio for the 2 amazing performances in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and This Boy's Life

    Upcoming gigs and events: Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

    Tom Hanks Vs Julia Roberts - you can't beat old Otm Shank
    Leonardo DiCaprio Vs Jim Carrey- Jim for 90s, Leo for 00s

    Tom Hanks - A decade of iconic films.

    Leo - Just a better actor overall.

    Tom Hanks Iconic role after iconic role.

    Next one is a toss of a coin for me. So let me do it...







    It's Jim Carrey

    Bruce Willis - again, both my noms. Just think Bruce is more iconic.
    Samuel L Jackson - I've been voting against Will Smith a good bit but mainly cos he's been up against my noms... like this time again. But Samuel L. Jackson is iconic 90s.

    Anthony Hopkins
    Samuel L Jackson


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 7,622 Mod ✭✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Anthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lecter is one of the most essential 90s roles
    Samuel Jackson - not a fan of Pulp Fiction, but he had a great presence in the 90s

    Upcoming gigs and events: Rhiannon Giddens, New Purple Celebration, Foil Arms and Hog, Nova Twins, Tanita Tikaram, David Byrne

    Bruce Willis Vs Anthony Hopkins - Fava beans and Chianti
    Will Smith Vs Samuel L Jackson - He was the best thing about Die Hard 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,204 ✭✭✭Girly Gal


    Bruce Willis in so many great 90s action films
    Samuel L Jackson, this is a really tight call with Will Smith who I'd almost certainly vote for against anyone else

    Bruce Willis - I think he peaked best in the 90s and I love Armageddon

    Will Smith - Men in Black, Independence Day and Bad Boys
