James of course. He was thoroughly modern.

It's a hard choice because Edward is in more of the "award-type films," but I discovered James first in The Remains of the Day.

I remember reading an interview where Edward Fox said he has never worn blue jeans.

Oh, Jamie Foxx by far. He’s much funnier than all of his brothers.

James Fox doing the "Tapioca" with Julie Andrews in "Millie" was so charming, that I loved seeing him anytime ever after! Plus he was with Mick Jagger in "Performance"!

Is the poll not working right for anyone else?

James Fox is the better actor but Edward Fox has infinitely more likeable children .

Edward Fox is in the better films (except James' A Passage to India, The Remains of the Day, and the Golden Bowl- those are kickass movies).
James always seemed to enjoy himself though.

James Fox because he graced us with his massive, intact dong in 'Performance.'

No, no love for Lawrence, r14. Freddie and Emilia are cool, though.
