      Hey Dan, so we stumbled across another high ranking Oracle actor. Not surprised his ranking is going down. He has not made many movies the last 5 years….and at almost 80….not thinking his output is going to increase as time marches on. Lorenzo’s Oil, Q & A and Cape Fear are all quality movies….Cape Fear is in my Top 10 too. Massive massive lists. These lists show how he is ranked so highly. Gotta be in contention for longest lists complied by you. Three Bruce Willis movies…but no Michael Caine movies….actually surprised by that fact. 6 out of the Top 10 is impressive. 41 Oscar winners is good….but really shows how far Sir Michael is in tally count we look at. Good feedback as always.

    I saw 18 including 10 of top 15. 10s and favorites: prince of tides(very dark/intense), 48 hours, another favourite lorenzos oil a 9. hidden gems: Jefferson in paris a historical 8, ill do anything a 9, I rarely like screw ups but nolte does it right in this one . I rarely like kids movies but this works for me. great actor from 1982 to 1995. then lost his edge and favour with Hollywood. its possible alcohol was involved. I picked him as a future great with north dallas forty 1979, that picturemore realistic than I like to admit for tom landry’s sake. I have been a cowboys fan since 1962 age 6 and able to read sports section. I even enjoyed grace Quigley with k Hepburn(her next to last UMR rated picture) his UMR number 56 of 60. for me he made every role better in his prime.

      Hey bob cox. Tally count. Me 35, you 18, Steve 17 and Flora 4. Lots of favorites for you. I liked Prince of Tides…but not enough to crack my Top 10. 48 Hours is on that list. Not sure I have seen Lorenzo’s Oil from beginning to end. I agree his prime was 1982 to 1995. He was awesome in North Dallas Forty….he wanted to play football growing up….and that role allowed him too. I nice behind the look at the Cowboys.

      Learning about a lot on you today. Babs fan, live in San Antonio and a Cowboy fan. I was a Cowboy fan during the Charlie Waters years (they went to 5 Superbowls during those years). Check out my Top Sports Hero on this page. https://www.ultimatemovierankings.com/top-10-sports-heroes-lifetime/

      I remember when Quigley came out on VHS….not sure I ever watched that one. Amazing that movie has been forgotten in time. As always…good feedback as always.

      Hey ???????? (1) Well….it is still awesome you had a chance to work with him a “few times”. (2) That of course gets me curious…..as to what capacity you worked with him…..in front or behind the camera? (3) Sorry to hear that he was “not so nice”…..but I am sure his “issues” might have had something to do with that. (4) Glad you were able to find this UMR page.
