I am having a hard time thinking of a modern actor whose entire ouvre I'd be willing to sit through. At the moment, I think I would go with Humphrey Bogart. I'm sure there are a few dogs in the mix, but the ability to watch To Have and Have Not, The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Key Largo, The Big Sleep, The African Queen, and The Treasure of Sierra Madre multiple times would easily make up for the bad points. (At least, so long as I am not "treated" to any of the Turner colorized abominations...)

And, to add something to the list, I thought about Alfred Hitchcock, which would, I assume, pretty much give me the universe of "itchcock Films" and very little else. However, I think that, as amazing as Hitchcock is, there were quite a few dogs in his prolific career, and I would want a bit more variety in the end.
I can't, right now, think of anyone better than Bogart. Though, before I made the final choice, I'd imdb Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant.
