    DENZEL WASHINGTON Mo’ Better Blues (1990)

    1. Hey Dan. Thanks for the lists looking at Wesley Snipes career. Looking at the first list….(1) lots of co-stars (2) I bet Woody Harrelson will continue to move up….he along with James Franco seems to be one of the hardest working actors. (3) Snipes has good representation with the leaders.

      Sad to see Richard Pryor falling off the list….his legacy seems to be fading as time marches on. 10 Oscar winners…..actually pretty good for a guy that has never appeared in a single movie that got a nomination in any category for his ENTIRE career.

      Good information as always….hope you have an awesome holiday.

  2. Aloha Bruce [waves his arms around trying to get attention] I’ve seen 17 of the 34 films listed. Just half. Favorites include – The Blade trilogy, Expendables 3, US Marshals, Passenger 57, King of New York and Demolition Man.

    I haven’t seen To Wong Foo, Jungle Fever or Major League.

    I thought Blade would be no.1 here, maybe worldwide? I saw White Men Can’t Jump on rental video ages ago, wasn’t that crazy about it. I don’t think I’ve watched it since.

    I did enjoy Snipes as the villain in Demolition Man, a good match for Stallone.

    Nice work Bruce, Vote Up!

    1. Hey Steve
      1. Aloha too you……I see you waving….sorry behind on the comments here and at your You Tube channel. Getting ready for Xmas is taking lots of time away from internet time. But….Xmas is only 23.50 hours for me…and even less for you.
      2. So you are at 17…..I am at 21….just recently saw his Murder at 1600……pretty weak film.
      3. Of your favorites…I have seen all of them….with Demo Man….and the first Blade being my favorites.
      4. His Top 10 Worldwide (at least what I have now….database is broken) is
      Demolition Man (1993) $332,326,668.00
      Blade (1998) $241,948,302.00
      Blade II (2002) $231,178,758.00
      The Expendables 3 (2014) $227,269,036.00
      Rising Sun (1993) $223,978,143.00
      White Men Can’t Jump (1992) $189,161,556.00
      U.S. Marshals (1998) $188,801,293.00
      Blade: Trinity (2004) $179,554,166.00
      Money Train (1995) $153,773,369.00
      Jungle Fever (1991) $90,162,756.00
      5. Major League is a fun movie….but it is about baseball.
      6. I have not seen To Wong Foo….and at this point that will be a true statement for many more years…lol.
      7. I agree…he and Stallone made a good screen team…..hero vs villain.
      Merry Xmas….I plan on catching up on your You Tube videos tomorrow.
