Hey Bob….thanks for the thoughts on Allison Janney. Tally count: Cogerson 39, Steve 17, bob cox 12 and you 7. I have seen all 7 you have seen. I thought Rewrite was actually pretty good….especially for a movie that did not get released in theaters. Good additional information on Janney. Thanks for sharing her future prjects, her awards and her net worth. Good stuff as always.
I’ve seen 17 of the 60 films on the chart, more than I thought. Favorites include – Finding Nemo, Spy, American Beauty, Finding Dory, Over the Hedge, Minions, Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Kids and Wolf.
The Help did not get much love from your critics Bruce, considering it’s Oscar bait subject, I haven’t seen it.
Nice work. Vote Up!
Hey Steve. Thanks for checking out one of our latest pages. Tally count: Cogerson 39, Steve 17 and bob cox 12. I have seen all of your favorites. My favorites would include Over the Hedge, Juno and Spy. The Help has been taken a beaten from general audiences with regards to voting….it’s score has gone down. Viola Davis came out and bashed the movie for being racist….and I think people gave it low ratings in support of Davis and her view. Good stuff as always.
Allison owes us for Strangers with Candy and Tammy, 2 of the all time stinkers. Never saw The West Wing, have seen the first season of Moms. Anyway, Allison is # 261 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 list. These are the other actors on the list she appeared with.

Hey Dan.
1. Thanks as always for the putting together your trivia filled lists.
2. I have not seen Strangers With Candy….but like you I did suffer through Tammy…..I agree a truly horrible movie.
3. West Wing’s first 3 or 4 seasons were outstanding….the rest were good….not sure I ever watched the last seasons or not.
4. Her Oracle ranking is about where I would have guessed…as she has been a very very busy actress the last 25 years.
5. First list…..lots of people tied with 3 movies with her….I imagine one of those many will hit 4 movies with her in the near future.
6. Second list….35 Oscar winning co-stars is a very solid total…….her movie with Michael Caine is a recent addition to the database….one of the few Caine movies I have not seen….heck…I have barely even heard of it.
Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
Cogerson, thanks. it might be possible janney has 2 “Ns”. i saw 12 , including 8 of top 9. 10 american beauty. 9s not favorites: juno, finding nemo, , the help, 10 things i hate about you, primary colors(hidden gem). hidden gem the hours an 8 so very dark it is not recommended.
i would have edited but no button showed. very deserving of her oscar for I, Tonya a movie with zero likeable characters. i think west wing’s first 5 seasons was greatest television show completed before 2007.
i love “Mom” . hilarity , sarcasm , bullying and alcoholism. my strong suits. LOL . i love to laugh
Hey bob cox….good catch on the missing “n”….I have since fixed that error in all the places I linked that page. I have seen 39 of her movies…just shy of almost 66% of her movies. I thought American Beauty was well done, but I have never re-visited that one. I enjoyed Juno and The Help a lot more. I agree with you about The Hours….one should see it…but it has no rewatchability in my eyes. Good comment.
Hey bob cox…good breakdown on her television shows…she has more lots of Emmy awards for West Wing and Mom. She was a late addition to our new book…..which is getting close to being finished….she ending up being ranked very high in the book….as we looked at 370 modern stars…and she is close to the Top 50. Good stuff as always.
