Who is the Best Actor in the World

Kramer vs. Kramer is just coming on and I said to my wife that I thought Dustin Hoffman was one of the best actors in the world. She asked me who I thought was best and - after answering, "De Niro, obviously!" - I came up with the following list:

1. Robert DeNiro
2. Tom Hanks
3. Dustin Hoffman
4. Jack Nicholson
5. Sean Penn
6. Al Pacino
7. Gary Oldman
8. Phillip Seymour Hoffman
9. Ed Norton
10. Kevin Spacey
11. Paul Giamatti
12. Donald Sutherland
13. Daniel Day-Lewis
14. Johnny Depp
15. Don Cheadle
16. Ian McKellan
17. Simon Fallow
18. Anthony Hopkins
19. Harvey Keitel
20. Robert Duvall
21. Gene Hackman
22. Jon Voight
23. Brad Pitt
24. Morgan Freeman
25. Harrison Ford
26. Sean Connery
27. Kevin Bacon
28. Russell Crowe
29. Matt Damon
30. Billy Bob Thornton

Er, I couldn't stop once I got started! The first 6 are pretty fixed in stone, but if I wrote this list tomorrow the rest of them might be in a completely different order.
