Thankfully we get lots of requests for new pages. Well…the wife recently informed me that my way of collecting my requests was pretty weak. She seems to think that writing down requests on whatever piece of paper or napkin or bill that is currently on my desk is not the way to do it. So….since she is way smarter than me….I have decided to create a page just for requests. Plus it should give a good idea of what pages are coming down the pike.
My logic in picking which page to do next….I lean heavily towards the subject that has the most requests.

Many more to come…have to find all of my old napkins and transfer the requests to this page.
Last night I saw Brian Cranston in Wakefield. I came here to see where it ranked and see you do not have a page on him. Even though he is a television star, he has made some good movies too. So how about a page on him. Wakefield is excellent. Strange but excellent.
YES GIVE WALTER WHITE A PAGE.
Hey Dan…..here is the Walter White page. https://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/bryan-cranston-movies/
Hey Helakoski…..instead of doing comments…I went ahead and did a Bryan Cranston movie page. https://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/bryan-cranston-movies/ Wakefield is ranked 14th of 30 movies. I want to see that one for sure. Hope you like your requested page.
Could you add Ronald Colman to the list of requests, please?
Hey Flora….the fastest request yet….granted it was one already done….but I will take the credit for being superfast.

Hey Bruce, a lot of good suggestions there, but thought I would make a few of my own: Rod Steiger, Jason Robards Jr. and Cliff Robertson. Would be nice as some others have suggested to have some British stars like Dirk Bogarde, Peter Cushing – and Alec Guiness for that matter, but I assume US grosses of their British films may be harder to get!
Hey Phil….thanks for the suggestions. All good picks. Guinness, Bogarde and especially Cushing will be challenging for sure. I have done some research on Cushing and the results are pretty weak. Just too many British movies. I might have to a Steve approach on that one….only look at critic/audience ratings…as the box office numbers do not seem to exist.
Steiger and Robertson would be good because…I have started thinking I need an UMR page on all the Best Actor Winners….so far of the 90 winners (lots of duplicates) I have pages on 67 of them or 74.44%….seems 100.00% would be pretty cool.
Thanks for your response Bruce. I see you have a lot of requests so it’s appreciated it that you consider my suggestions.
I had forgotten to mention,(if it’s not too much to ask) that annual pages of box office information from the 1950s and 1960s would also be appreciated! It’s pretty much impossible to find information on the web beyond the top 10 or 20 of each year, so this would be another unique contribution from this site.
Hey Phil….I remember when this request list was loaded with legends…over the years it has replaced legends with stars ….and then stars were replaced by actors/actresses with solid careers. With almost 600 UMR pages….I find this page very useful. Like right now….I have no idea who will be the next subject.
I will get some more years done. My ledger numbers start to diminish the closer we get to the 1960s…..then I have to depend a lot more on Variety from 1960 to 1979 as well as the even less reliable books and autobiographies on the stars.
Thanks for all the feedback.
As promised, some suggestions: at this point, I would be happy about a page on Jane Wyman, Hedy Lamarr, Ida Lupino, Merle Oberon, Veronica Lake or on directors Douglas Sirk and Fritz Lang (both highly respected here and successful enough in the States).
….to be continued…
Thanks for the suggestions….I have been thinking about a Veronica Lake and Jane Wyman page for awhile. Merle Oberon is another solid suggestion. Thanks for the the input. Currently at 9:27 PM on Friday night wondering who will be the next subject.
Hi! Nice job as always, I have two names to suggest: Dan Duryea and Joan Bennett
Oh and Bud Spencer-Terence Hill movies
Bud and Terence might be hard to do since they made most of their movies overseas.
Hey Brando90….I will add them to the request list…a quick check shows I already have 35 of Joan Bennett’s movies in the database and 100% fully researched.
