Thanks to Bodie and *Miss_P*, I have some more nominees for Can We Agree On These being A list.
Clint Eastwood - 4 oscar wins. It's Clint Eastwood. Perhaps it's a given, lol.
Robert Downey Jr. - 3 oscar noms, franchise (Iron Man) can now bring the big $$
Sean Penn - 2 oscar wins, 3 noms, can open a movie ($$)
Russell Crowe - 1 oscar win, 2 noms, can open a movie ($$) (even when he's "plumper" than usual, lol)
Johnny Depp - 3 oscar noms, franchise (Pirates)
Charlize Theron - 1 oscar win, 1 nom, can open a movie (has a bunch in production too)
Nicole Kidman - 1 oscar win, 1 nom, can open a movie (also has a bunch in production) . I'm not really a fan but i think she can open a movie on her own consistently.
Glenn Close - 5 oscar noms, i think she's just so highly respected as an actress that no one would label her anything less.
Anthony Hopkins - 1 Oscar win, 3 noms
Hugh Jackman-franchise
Jodie Foster-2 Oscar wins and she's Jodie Foster

So do cartoon/animated movies count as franchises? Is Cameron Diaz/Mike Myers considered A-list for the Shrek movies? I hope not...I can't stand Cameron Diaz! I'm good with all in your list except Keanu Reeves - how old was Enty's BI? Anyway he dropped off, haha? I guess I would also add to your list Steven Spielberg and Samuel L Jackson,
Charlize Theron - really A list? I wouldn't have thought so, not someone who automatically springs to mind.
I suppose RDJ is on the up again
and I agree with all the other suggestions
@doxie: I agree. I do not want to put Cammy Diaz on the A list! I know that she was in the Charlie's Angels franchise, but was that more Drew & she brought along the other two?
As far as Keanu, he does have a franchise, and a highly successful franchise at that, that's the reason (besides Enty) that I'm putting him on the A list.
Clint Eastwood: A List as a Director.
Robert Downey Jr: B+ for now, got to wait to see how Sherlock Holmes will do and that will be the deciding factor.
Sean Penn: A List.
Russell Crowe: A List.
Johnny Depp: A+ List along with Will Smith, Tom Cruise, and Julia Roberts.
Charlize Theron: No, I would even go on the line of calling her a strong B with an A List name recognition. When was the last time you heard your coworkers talking about going to see the new Charlize Theron movie? Hancock doesn't count.
Nicole Kidman: If this was like 2004 or 2005, I would agree that she is A...but more B+ to me.
Glenn Close: B+ with A recognition.
Anthony Hopkins: B+
Hugh Jackman: A
Jodie Foster: A
I agree with Jade, That Girl's assessments. Nicole Kidman open a film? Haven't most of her films done sort of poorly at the box office, which has not warranted her exorbitant paychecks? Also, don't think Charlize can exactly open a film. A lot of Oscar nominated and winning actors are highly acclaimed, but not automatically assumed that they can open a film. Same with Sean Penn. Don't think Milk was a blockbuster by any stretch of the imagination.
Ha! Anthony Hopkins B+??????
Lemme guess....you guys are both under 25 years old right?
that's rediculous imo.
I agree with them all being A list, and yes Charlize can definitely open a film.
I reluctantly believe that Cameron should be A list - if this is indeed about the money people. She's making the bucks, and Charlies Angels and Shrek are both franchises, so following the logic...
I agree with all the others as A list.

I know I'm posting this late and nobody will read it, but Thisisridiculous, what film exactly has Charlize opened? Hancock? I think that had a LOT to do with Will Smith. Aeon Flux? I don't think it's made as much as the budget was. Monster? Maybe, but that's been awhile. Guess we'll have to see what her new films will do.
Nicole is definitely A for the general public.
Charlize, I think she's A professionally, but probably A- as far as public knowledge.
