This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Redford's role in Spy Game included a lot of narrative and he is great, but Freeman is simply better. Born for it.

Freeman - Shawshank Redemption
Redford - A River Runs Through It


My strong bias is to A River Runs Through It - but that's because of the movie itself - it is hard to separate the voice of Redford from that story.

It is no less difficult to separate Freeman's voice from Shawshank.

I suspect that if I ever read either of the associated books, I would read them in the voices of their respective movie narrators.


All in all though, I think Freeman wins, but not by a great margin.

WTF with James Earl Jones? You can't just pull people out of the distant past and say OMG BEST. If so, I choose Cicero from the old Roman republic. Apparently he was a kick ass narrator that puts all these to shame because he's still mentioned like 2000 years later.

Cicero was an orator, not a narrator. Totally different categories. Also, do you seriously think people won't be talking about Darth Vader 2000 years from now? Please!
