The mystery has to be Eddie Murphy. The rest I can understand but I can think of so few of his films that were actually any good. Still I suppose if you chuck out enough films you'll get there by weight of numbers.

Hey Eddie is great man.

I think though, the list is skewed, because lets face it, it's based on modern dollar sums which always look more impressive than numbers of yesteryear.

Any all time list without Clint Eastwood of John Wayne really isn't worth reading.

Aside from paycheque, Samuel L. Jackson doesn't deserve to be on that list.

Hmm, Schwarzenegger isn't on the list... I sort of expected him to be above some of those other actors in there. Harrison Ford definitely deserves to be #1, though. He's great.

Samuel L. 'M**tha F**k'in Jackson (That is his full name) deserves to be on that list so much more than Eddie Murphy it isn't funny. Much like Eddie himself who also isn't funny, or at least hasn't been for over a decade.

Jon Wayne Rocks.... He is one of the actors that made watching a western something worth doing.

With Eddie Murphy people forget how many animated films he has lent his voice to. Dunkey/Donkey in Shrek for instance which made lots of money. Also in more recent times hes done other more kid like movies like 2 Doctor Dolittles I think and the Klumps movies. Daddy Day Care even lol. Not a personal fan of his either though.

I do like Samual L. Jackson though and I think you'd be hard pressed to name too many other black actors on equal footing (Denzel Washington would be one perhaps). I particularly liked his performance in Kill Bill Vol 2. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

In all seriousness though, besides his infamous role in Pulp Fiction, I rather liked him in the Die Hard Movie (3 was it?) And who couldn't like Mace Windu?

I'm also a Samuel L. Jackson fan (especially when he's working with Quentin Tarantino and John Travolta). I bet it won't be long before Jamie Foxx makes the money list. And I'd love to see Morgan Freeman's name there as well.
