Patrick Wilson, busy actor. I haven’t seen the latest ‘Conjuring’ but I have seen all the others.
I’ve seen 17 of the 45 films on the chart. Favorites are – Watchmen, Aquaman, Prometheus, Batman vs Superman, The Conjuring, Insidious, Midway and The A Team.
Looking at the charts – The Conjuring tops the critics charts, interesting. Aquaman is no.1 at the worldwide box office and Batman v Superman tops the domestic box office.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!

Hey Dan. As always thanks for compiling these lists. Good information throughout. I strongly suspect he will be in the top 1000 shortly. He’s been very very active the last 10 years. Looking at his oracle list is pretty long. His horror costar in mini movies, Vera F.,is easily his most frequent Oracle co-star. 14 Oscar winners is on the low side, but I guess horror movies do not attract lots of Oscar winners. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
