    1. Hey Bryan. I understand your 0 tally count. She only made 8 movies…and her last relevant movie was 20 years before you were born. I think her The Getaway would be the one you might want to track down…added bonus you get Steve McQueen.

  2. I saw top 4. no 10s, no favorites, 9: love story (I thought it was overrated from first and only viewing). she is the ultimate WoC rule of 39.

    1. Hey bob cox…your 4 is the winner…actually it doubles most of us….so you have seen 50% of her movies…congrats. Nice mini-review of Love Story. Good call on her and the Curse of 39. Good stuff as always.

  3. 10 films!!! Nothing between 1972 and 1978 at least theatrically. Ali doesn’t have many co-stars but these are the actors she has appeared with on the Oracle of Bacon 2020 edition of the Center of the Hollywood Universe list.
