Check out Lewis Stone’s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time
Academy Award® and Oscar® are the registered trademarks of the Academy of Motion Arts and Sciences. Golden Globe® and Emmy® are registered trademarks.

I have seen 85 of Lewis’s films; the highest ranked I haven’t seen is The Patriot, along with almost all the silent films.
Lewis Stone I believe had a lifetime contract with MGM which ended when he passed in 1953. I think Frank Morgan had one too till he passed in 1949. None of their name players had lifetime lifetime contracts, like Bobby Bonilla with the Mets (30 years and still counting). Robert Taylor worked the longest at MGM, 25 years.
Lewis never made the Oracle list since he passed 70 years ago (time goes fast). These are the actors on the 2022 list he appeared with.

Hey Dan. Wow….85 of his movies…..that is only 75 more movies than me…..so it was close…lol. I imagine if the Oracle existed in the 1930s Lewis Stone would have a good ranking. His MGM contract lasted 29 years….covering the years 1924 to his death in 1953. Not surprisingly, Mickey Rooney is his most frequent Oracle co-star. 29 Oscar winning co-stars seems low….but about half of his movies were before the Oscars even existed. Good stuff.
Lewis Stone was the # 37 most connected actor of the 1920’s.
I started out writing out films I have seen in a book as I always do, and then I realized that this would take too much time as I have seen so many of his films. Therefore I just looked up on Letterboxd and discovered that I have seen 59 of his movies. As this is letterboxd, documentaries are included to be out of 160 films total.
Instead, I will just focus on favourites, not all films I have seen.
The HIGHEST rated of the 59 films I have seen is The Big House.
The highest rated film I have NOT seen is The Patriot.
The LOWEST rated movie I have seen is It’s a Big Country.
Favourites from the top 50 of his movies:
The Big House
David Copperfield
Grand Hotel
China Seas
Queen Christina
Love Finds Andy Hardy – my only favourite of the Andy Hardy series
Scaramouche
Treasure Island
Suzy
A Woman of affairs
Mata Hari
Romance
The Prisoner of Zenda
The Trial of Mary Dougan
Red-Headed Woman
Angels in the Outfield
The Girl From Missouri
The Secret 6
The Sin of Madelon Claudet
Their Own Desire
The White Sister
As you can see, with the exception of the Andy Hardy series, most of Stone’s films are my favourites
Hey Flora….the awesomeness of Letterboxd.com. Tally counts: Dan with an incredible 85 Lewis Stone movies watched. You are at least close to his total compared to me. With 59 to a lowly 10 seen by me. I have seen 5 of your favorites….with Scaramouche being my favorite….I am thinking about the 1950s version versus his 1920s version. As for the Andy Hardy movies….I feel they are ok. Hope you had an awesome weekend. Good stuff as always.
Hi Mr. Cogerson,
Great Page.
I asked for him in a request a few years ago.
Finally you did it. Great Jo.
Just for fun. As always great news.
Hey Mike HoF2020….glad I was finally able to kick out a Lewis Stone. He has the third most movies of all the people that have UMR pages….1st is Ward Bond with 128 movies, then Samuel L. Jackson at 17 movies. Tons of movies from Mr. Stone. Good feedback.
