What were the roles that earnt them in the phenomenal tier? Cause I don't see how 4 of them could out perform Alan Rickman or Gary Oldman.

@Thevy29 Okay.
Crowe:
- Gladiator, Robin Hood, The Insider, Cinderella Man, Master and Commander, American Gangster, LA Confidential, 3:10 to Yuma, A Beautiful Mind, The Next Three Days, Proof of Life, Poker Face, Les Miserables, The Loudest Voice, The Quick and the Dead

Gibson:

Gere:
- Primal Fear, Unfaithful, Internal Affairs, Red Corner, No Mercy, The Jackal, Arbitrage, The Hoax, The Flock, Mothman Prophecies, Brooklyn‘s Finest, Intersection, The Hunting Party, An Officer and a Gentleman, Power, The Honorary Consul, The Dinner
As for Rickman and Oldman. They‘re not typical leading men, they tend to play shady characters, and they’re both prone to over-acting, an air of eccentricity and quirky performances.
Still, two brilliant, gifted, talented and versatile actors.
But they can’t really carry a movie all by themselves.

This could make a good party game, although I wonder if arguments might make for spoiling the atmosphere. 😄
