Full recognition at last Ma! – JK
Sadly I do not think J.K. was/is the only one without a link on the site index. One day I will compare the index on the website to the index in the database. It will be a major project….as we are talking thousands and thousands of strings of information. Thanks again for calling out our JK disservice.
As my computer dies with the back of my laptop now detached this may be the last reply on this computer. I did order a new one but I’m old and it will take me a while to assimilate to it.
50 years or so ago I went to the only Doris Day film I saw in a cinema, With Six You Get Eggroll. Hey she went into that TV series of hers which seemed to change formats every season. I did like all her comedies and found her a bundle of energy (see Calamity Jane). She was like a sensible Betty Hutton. Also back then I bought an album for 99 cents of her movie hits, none of which I had ever seen yet. I played that album to death liking Move Over Darling ( a hit in the U.K. and a hit again for Tracey Ullman), Do Not Disturb and Please Don’t East the Daisies.
None of this has anything to do with J.K. Simmons. Simmons is an enigma. On the ;last Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list from 2017 by IMDB stats he came in # 86. They then went to Wikipedia and he fell off the list (Stan Lee dropped 118 off). Then they redid it 2 weeks later and he was back at 665 so now he is HM (655) if connected to someone else. These are the actors on the December 15, 2018 list he is connected to.

Hey Dan
1. As always…thanks for the awesome comment and lists.
2. I moved some of the first part of the comment to our Doris Day page…..good stuff there.
3. Sounds like his Bacon Oracle number is all over the place. I would bet he will be rapidly increasing his rank as he pumps out so many movies.
4. I was thinking about you and your Oscar lists as I put the page together….I was thinking he would have a higher number of Oscar winning co-stars.
5. His most frequent co-star is Sam Elliott and K. Dunst.
6. Hope you are able to get your computer online in a nice pace. Good luck with that.
Good feedback as always.
I saw 20 including 15 of top 20. no tens. 9 and favorite: the jackal. 9s not favorites:spiderman, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, ciderhouse rules, whiplash, for the love of the game, juno.
noticeable absences: true grit (loved the first, second too dark) zootopia(pointless anime), lalaland(horrible singing and dancing), kung fu panda 3(I stopped at 2). hidden gem : thank you for smoking
Hey bob cox…thanks for checking out our J.K. Simmons page. I am now up to 60 seen…as I watched The Frontrunner tonight. That is now 60 Simmons movies that I have seen. I actually did not include True Grit on the table…as it was an uncredited voice role. As for your top Simmons movies….I am there with you on Spidey 1 & 2, Cider House and Whiplash. Did not like Spidey 3 at all. I need to watch Thank You For Smoking….been a very long time since seeing that movie. Good feedback…as always.
