You guys talk about "quality" like as if if it's some concrete, measurable metric. Similar to music, "quality" acting is in the eye of the beholder.

While far from being the perfect indicator of "quality", the one thing that is measurable in that industry is lasting power and box office $$$$$. Show me the money son!

Well said. In the end, if you draw the money you win. Let the people speak with their wallets and tell us who is the best.

i guess we just have differing opinions on what is "quality"...

in my mind, money at the box office is irrelevant...

otherwise i would have to concede that movies like harry potter and transformers are the best movies of all time...

YO... don't diss Harry Potter. That's my boy... and that entire series was epic. I'm being serious.

The movie for the half-blooded prince really sucked. I fell asleep while watching it in the theatres. Did not do the book justice.

That's not what I'm saying... But I'm too tired to go into it now. Bedtime.

Yes, the books are well worth it. Start with the Killing Floor, and try to go in order. The books are standalone, and for the most part don't relate to each other at all (except for Reacher), but it's better to read them in the order they were released.

Do yourself a favor and read the Reacher series starting at the beginning. His character development as the books progress wins you over bigtime. 61 hours was a bit of a let down, however the latest A wanted Man is very good. The Movie is based on the Reacher character and not any book in particular.

Regardless of Cruise appeal or box office $$$ haul factor, once you read Lee Child you would never picture Cruise as Reacher.

A very good series to read....and yes I'll see the movie and probably enjoy it regardless of the casting... cheers

Once you have read Lee Child - Reacher series
There are other awesome books along the same lines as Reacher, I'm suprised haven't become movies :

John Sandford - Prey Series with Lucas Davenport
John Sandford - Virgil Flowers series
Michael Connelly - Harry Bosch series
Jeffery Deaver - Lincoln Rhyme series

I wish I knew my fantasy hockey as well as I know my literary characters... cheers

Dennis Lehane's Kenzie/Gennaro series is also top notch.

For a one-shot detective story that is awesome I can recommend Motherless Brooklyn. It's about a New York detective with Tourette's syndrome.
