  1. i saw 12, including 7 of top 8. i enjoy this actress, i feel she makes every movie better. my reviews will be movie by movie because i am so contrarian to the public.

    i hated get out because it was a good grade b horror flick but its theme in my mind is the true horror. i felt it made a case that black people will do anything to have sex with a good looking white woman. i hope i stand alone in my perverse thinking and this is not an influence on all those who saw it and approved. a much better movie was 8 mm , horrific look at snuff movies and S and M but well acted and well made. both for me 4/10 and not worth watching.
    they are joined by what just happened also 4/10 in agreement with UMR. out of sight a 4/10 . into the wild 6/10 not recommended.
    capt. phillips 7/10 barely worth watching and only if you love hanks as much as i do.
    simone a 8/10 that foretold the computer generated movie industry , a hidden gem.
    40 year old virgin very funny 8
    begin again a well done 9
    being john maolkovich, a 9, and the “least hidden” gem of my memory.
    incredibles 2 ,a 9 , despite my aversion to anime. huge up ranking for villainous television moral.
    capote ,a 10, not a favorite. great career making performance, best actor oscar winner for phillip seymor hoffman

    1. Hey bob cox….thanks for the feedback on Catherine Keener. Interesting breakdown on Get Out. I liked that way more than I did Us. Maybe I should do a page on Jordan Peele. So you have seen 12 of her movies…I have seen….counting…37 of her movies. Her last ranked The Gun in Betty Lou’s Handbag (1992) is on my dvd player ready to watch. Good breakdown on some of her movies. Kudos to you for saying something nice about a computer animated movie….lol. Good stuff as always.

  2. Catherine Keener is # 961 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000. This is amazingly low for someone who has so many connections in both categories. These are the other actors on the top 1000 she has appeared with.

    1. Hey Dan….as always thanks for your efforts in putting together these lists. The first list is pretty huge…especially for somebody that barely cracks the Top 1000. Glad to see Dermont Mulroney as her most frequent Oracle co-star. Living in Oblivion is the movie I first noticed her in…..a low budget movie about making a movie….that movie also the movie I first noticed Peter Dinklage. 40 Oscar winning co-stars is pretty impressive. The last name on that list is William Hurt….I just watched him last night in The Last Full Measure (which I liked)….boy did he look old in that one. Good stuff as always.
