I’ll always remember Joel Grey, not as the creepy emcee in Cabaret, but as Fred Wards martial arts tutor in Remo Williams, a film I watched many times in my VHS days.
I’ve seen 4 of the 15 films on the chart, favorites are Remo and The Seven Per Cent Solution. I’ve also seen Cabaret and The Player.
Looking at the chart, Cabaret was a big hit and Remo was a big flop, oh well.
Nice work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….I am right there with you on Joel Grey. I would rather watch him in Remo Williams rather Cabaret any day of the week. I imagine if he made that movie today, there is no way he would be able to play that part in Remo. I have seen twice as many of his movies than you….including all of the 4 you have seen. Sadly….the Remo franchise never took off……but I rented that VHS tape many many times back in my video store days. Good stuff.
