My list would overlap with a lot of the names already mentioned:
Surprised no one has mentioned John C. Reilly or Cary Grant
Alain Delon
Lemmon/Matthau, especially if they're together
Bill Murray
PSH
Mitchum
Harry Dean Stanton
Klaus Kinski
Toshiro Mifune
Juliette Binoche
Maggie Cheung
Tony Leung
Don Cheadle
Catherine Deneuve
A big one for me as a kid was Charles Grodin in the first two Beethoven movies and The Great Muppet Caper. And I still love him.

Tony Leung, SECONDED.  That guy just breaks my heart.  Has anyone said Bryan Cranston yet?  Also, I know they're not actors qua actors, but I never get tired of watching David Cross and Bob Odenkirk.  And pretty much the entire cast of Mad Men -- I could watch it with the sound off.  Also, Juliette Binoche, Humphrey Bogart, Jesse Eisenberg (I know, what can I say), Toshiro Mifune, Elliot Gould, Forrest Whittaker, Clive Owen, Method Man, Michael K. Williams, Billy Crudup, James Gandolfini (though, unlike a few on this list, that didn't get me to see the Broadway play he was in), Peter O'Toole, Bill Murray, Audrey Hepburn, Parker Posey, Jean-Pierre Leaud, Isabella Rosellini, Michael Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dennis Hopper, Audrey Tautou (I know, I know again).   Also, most people here know James Urbaniak as the voice of Dr. Venture, plus maybe from those Hal Hartley films, but he is possibly one of the best stage actors I have ever seen.

Chiwetel Ejiofor

Seriously. Leung is fantastic.

Can't believe I forgot about Ejiofor, he's one of my newer favorites.
