Jack Lemmon or Walter Matthau?

As long as we're talkin' film duos...

1. I love 'em both, but I think Lemmon became too mannered

and aware of his technique as he got older while Matthau was always smooth and underplayed. But I think they both have done some outstanding stuff in their careers.

3. a bit of trivia!! Marlon Brando and Jack Lemmon were original choices

for "Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid."

2. Jack Lemmon...

I see a lot of Felix Unger in myself

4. You do not separate Yin and Yang

5. This is a tight race.

:D

6. I would feel bad if I voted either one over the other

So, I'll just pass. Two really, REALLY great ones!

7. I love them both!!

But Lemmon is one of my all-time fave actors - The Apartment and The Out-of-Towners are two of my fave movies.

10. Lemmon.

If only for Glengarry Glen Ross.

11. Lemmon was better actor, but Matthau was funnier

IMHO

12. Please. Don't do this.

Please. Let us not pit these two great actors against one another in a way that could result in diminishing the greatness of one in favor of the other. It's not nice.

This is not supportive of art in general and causes tension among us who enjoy mutual admiration for both Mr. Matthau and Mr. Lemmon.

I beg you in the name of God all merciful. Spare me.

13. I'm with you.

I almost shoved a sharpened pencil through my soft pallet and into my brain rather than choose.

Then I realized that it wasn't mandatory and I might be overreacting just a wee bit.

And none too soon...

[Floogeldy]

14. I'm glad you emerged unscathed from this traumatic dilemma

[Bat Boy]

15. Not entirely.

I have some very unattractive scribblings in #2 pencil on the roof of my mouth.

One bit looks kind of like a horsie...

16. I love them together
