Early this week, we were researching the movie career of Dennis Hopper. During this research, we noticed that Hopper had a lot of movies earn less than 10.00 on our UMR Score. To earn less than 10.00 in our ranking system, the movie has to be ignored at the box office, ignored by the Oscar voters, trashed by professional critics and destroyed by the general movie going audience. Sadly, for Dennis Hopper and his fans, he had 17 movies earn less than 10.00. This got us to ask the following questions: Is 17 the most for any actor or actress? What actor or actress could have more of these movies than Hopper has? So to answer these questions we created a few reports to shed some light on this thought process. Here are the results.
Here are the actors or actresses that have at least 12 movies with an UMR Score of less than 10.00
Burt Reynolds 21
Dennis Hopper 17
Christopher Walken 16
Robert DeNiro 16
Michael Caine 16
Samuel L. Jackson 16
Vincent D’Onofrio 15
Donald Sutherland 14
John Travolta 13
Dan Aykroyd 13
Harvey Keitel 13
J.K. Simmons 13
Demi Moore 12
James Franco 12
Bill Paxton 12
Nicolas Cage 12
Bruce Willis 12
While looking at the previous list, I realized many on the list were people that have made a lot of movies. Some even reaching triple digits when looking at total movies made. This of course got me to ask the question: Who has the highest percentage of movies with an UMR score of less than 10.00? Here are the results of that question.
Milla Jovovich 34.48%
Burt Reynolds 31.34%
Judd Nelson 31.25%
Sondra Locke 31.25%
Demi Moore 30.77%
Charlie Sheen 30.56%
John Travolta 27.08%
Halle Berry 27.03%
Tim Conway 26.32%
Vincent D’Onofrio 25.86%
Carrie Fisher 25.81%
Emilio Estevez 25.00%
Justin Timberlake 25.00%
John Candy 24.32%
Roger Moore 24.24%
The really cool thing about this table is that it is “user-sortable”. Rank the movies anyway you want. Column index.
- Column 1 – is name of the actor or actress
- Column 2 – is how many movies the actor/actress made that had an UMR Score of less than 10.00
- Column 3 – how many total movies we have in our database of that actor or actress
- Column 4 – percentage of 10.00 or less UMR Score Movies
- To make the table a minimum of 5 movies less than 10.00 UMR Score movies was needed
- Some of the actors/actresses that appear on UMR table have not been fully researched by UMR, so were excluded from the percentage leaders above

I enjoy stuff like this. Interesting information everywhere on this page. Poor Burt Reynolds. That is so many really bad movies. Looking at his 21 sub 10 movies only Malone was moderately entertaining. The rest of the ones I have seen are dogs with lots of fleas. Sam Jackson has 109 movies? That seems like a lot. I hope you keep doing pages like this.
Thanks Steve and Dan. Will comment further later today.
Very cool, Chevy Chase only 8. I remember doing some project a long time ago with actors with the most 2 star or less films based on Leonard Maltin’s guide but that’s long lost to the ages.
The list leans heavily towards modern movie stars, interesting. I’m sure people like John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford had their share of bad movies. But because they were ‘old’ movies they are still regarded as ‘classics’ and their ratings slightly higher than the modern equivalent. What do you think? Anyone?
*crickets chirping*
My poor Milla is queen of the b movies. And Burts up there too. At least Elvis is off the hook with those wonderful musicals of the 1960s. 😉
Fascinating, as Spock would say. Vote Up!
On the first search through our database…the database spit out over 186,000 pieces of information…..my first thought was….”We have created a beast of a database”.
yea the beast. YEA Cogerson!!! Yea UMR!!! awesome use of your amazing mind and your data base. did WoC help? oh heck, YEA WoC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bob cox…..of course WoC helped…..though she actually walked me through the process of pulling out all of these movies. Glad you enjoyed this exercise…that allowed our database to flex it’s muscle a little bit. Great feedback.
