Hey Dan. Both lists are massive this time around. Kudos for Eli Wallach for appearing in movies with so many Oscar winning co-stars. Caine can still catch him….Caine picked up another last year when Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor.
Eli Wallach rolling with a spot in the Top 100 Oracle list. Looks like a tie with many Oracle co-stars appearing with Wallach 3 times. Looking at the second list….wow…that is a lot of Oscar winners….great stuff!
I have seen 14 Eli Wallach movies. .
The HIGHEST ranked move I’ve seen is HOW THE WEST WAS WON.
The LOWEST ranked movie I’ve seen is THE TIGER MAKES OUT.
FAVORITES include HOW THE WEST WAS WON, THE TIGER MAKES OUT CINDERELLA LIBERTY, HOW TO STEAL A MILLION, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, and THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY.
Other Eli Wallach movies I have seen are THE MISFITS, BABY DOLL, THE VICTORS, LORD JIM, TOUGH GUYS, WINTER KILLS, ACT ONE, A LOVELY WAY TO DIE, and KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT.
Hey Greg….thanks for sharing your thoughts on Eli Wallach and the movies you have seen. Tally count. Tally counts…24 for me, 18 for Steve, 16 for Flora and 14 for you. I am not too aware of The Tiger Makes Out. When looking at your favorites….seen them all except for Tiger. Your favorites is really close to my favorite…great minds thinking alike. It looks like we think the same about The Misfits. Good stuff.
