Who needs Greta Garbo, James Cagney and Spencer Tracy when you have Meg Ryan, Hugh Grant and Angelina Jolie???

I shudder to think who would be making the list if this was done again today. Twenty years on and I still remember vividly what an unnecessary televisual palaver this turned out to be - so much time and effort gone in to presenting what ended up being the results from the votes of a mere 20,000 or so people (And how many viewers does Channel 4 have on average?). In other words pretty pointless all round aside from being a 6 hour distraction over two evenings.

I haven't watched Channel 4 for about 8 years or so but I wouldn't be surprised if they had finally given up on these self-indulgent "list" programmes (Channel 5 appear to have picked up the gauntlet there). Of course the best way to discover who the greatest movie stars of all time are would be by watching a broad range of different titles (from an even broader range of eras and countries) and deciding for yourself.
