    1. Hey Dan. Thanks for the Caine and Willis connections to Oprah. Good stuff as always. The links to Christopher Lee? Seems like I am missing something….I will go back and dig through the forum page. Good stuff.

  2. Hey Steve….thanks for checking out our emergency Oprah page. I had two completed pages just sitting there….not publicized….no comments….just hiding in plan sight in the site index. I will probably unleash the last emergency page tomorrow. It is massive….over a 110 movies.

    Yep Oprah got an Oscar nomination for her first role….then a couple of years ago she got a Honorary Oscar. I have seen 6 of her movies. So I have you beat by one.

    Funny that The Princess and the Frog is the only Oprah movie you own….two weeks ago….I had managed not to see that movie….but last week I had to watch it not once, twice, three times, four times, five times but six times for work/school.

    I agree our latest pages/videos are pretty different….good feedback as always.

  3. Oprah Winfrey? Forgot she played in a few films, and was nominated for an Oscar too!

    I’ve seen 5 of the 11 films listed – The Color Purple, Bee Movie, Charlotte’s Web, The Princess and the Frog and Selma. The only one I have on disc is the Disney cartoon The Princess and the Frog.

    Hey Bruce, I’m doing a video on Susannah York and you’re doing Oprah Winfrey, can they be more different? 😉
