Despite all his connections Malcolm has only appeared with 35 Oscar winners. Take away The Player and Voyage of the Damned and he plunges into the low 20’s. I guess this can be partly blamed it seems on the likelihood he took too many roles just to pay the rent, kind of like Michael Madsen and Danny Trejo.

Hey Dan. As always thanks for these epic lists.Not surprised that he is so high on the list. 25th is pretty impressive. His first list is incredibly long and filled with lots of legends, like Bruce Willis….lol.I agree, that is a low amount of Oscar winning costars for somebody with such a massive amount of movies. Ask for a voyage of the damned, that is a movie I have am not seen, but each time I do a star it seems they were in that movie.Finally, I am right there with you on the strangeness of Malcolm and Michael not working together. Not sure I would’ve guessed that before seeing your lists.Good stop as always, your efforts are greatly appreciated and remember you are the man.
Other than Clockwork Orange, I have not liked his movies.
Hey Taylor….I would highly recommend Time After Time…it might be his most likable role that he has ever played. Good stuff.

Down to 93 Joel subjects that need an UMR page……not sure what Look Back In Anger is…..according to IMDb he did not appear in a television or movie that went by that title. Guessing this is a 4 star “stage” performance.”
“When will you make an end to it Buonarroti?”
Rex Harrison’s Pope Julius 2nd to Chuck Heston’s Michelangelo in the 1965 Agony and the Ecstasy. His Holiness is referring to the, to him, seemingly endless painting of the Sistine project by Michelangelo which lasted from 1508-2011.
The Sistine Chapel painting project lasted from 1508 – 1511. The error was my subconscious mind playing ubderstandable tricks on me: it seems as if the Hirschhorn project has been going on since way back in 1508, and 2011 was the year when it should have ended though it would have been better had it never begun. [Gosh it’s like having teeth pulled – still 93 more to go!]
Hey Impatient One…with the Janet Gaynor page being done….only 92 more to go.
