Welcome to iconic actors, actresses, and movies
Here you can find an extensive collection of the most iconic actors, actresses, and movies from today and stretching all the way back to the 1990's, along with the films they've been in and the awards they have won.
Film has come a long way since its humble beginnings in black-and-white and silence. But, as talkies emerged and new technology became available, film has transformed into what we know it as today: filled with creative techniques, innovative special effects, and new movie theater experiences such as IMAX and 3D. This website seeks to not only honor some of the best films of the last two decades, but also the ones that created those memorable moments that are still referenced and talked about today and led the way to new cutting-edge experimental film techniques. Who can forget the famous rain scene in The Shawshank Redemption? Or the way Avatar paved the way for 3D?
However, the backbone of film has always been, and will always be, the actors and actresses themselves. They mold and shape their characters into believable beings, the plot revolving and relying on their portrayals. There are always those performances that completely blow us away, the ones that always nag at the back of our minds long after the film is over. Or perhaps, the ones who have household names and have managed to create a blossoming and successful film career for themselves. Who does not know Morgan Freeman's trademark calming voice? Or Meryl Streep's countless Oscar-winning performances?
These are the reasons that all of the actors, actresses, and movies here are iconic. Without them, film would not be the way it is today.
So take a look around, and perhaps you will find your new favorite film, or learn something new about those famous actors you keep hearing about. Maybe another film, actor, or actress will emerge in the coming years that is worthy of becoming iconic. We can only guess at what film will become in the future, as the media industry continues to expand and grow.
