Hey Dan. As always thanks for putting together these lists. Wow…Naomi Watts is in the Top 100….I did not see that coming. Good ole Hugo Weaving gets the honors of being the most frequent Oracle co-star with 4 movies. Interesting to see her old flames like Sean Penn showing up on her most frequent Oracle co-star list. 28 Oscar winning co-stars is about average…but I suspect that number will rapidly continue to climb since she is so busy. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
I’ve seen 16 of the 47 films on the chart, Favorites are – King Kong, Divergent, Allegiant, Tank Girl, The Ring, The Impossible and Eastern Promises.
King Kong no.1 at the box office for Naomi Watts and tops the UMR chart too. Birdman heads the critics chart.
Bruce, you’ve included Cindy Crawford’s Fair Game on the chart too, are you sure she was in that? If not, than I’ve seen 15 Naomi Watts films.
Good stuff. Vote Up!
Hey Steve….thanks for the feedback, tally count and visit. I have seen twice as many Naomi Watts movies as you….32 to 16. I have seen all of your favorites. I have not seen Tank Girl in many many years….it is time for a re-visit. Hmmm….I will have to check out the Fair Game issue….it is possible I got that one mixed up with 2010’s Fair Game. I will fix that as soon as the database gets reconnected to the website. Thanks for the heads up on that. Good stuff as always.
The Book of Henry was one of my best films of 2017. Naomi Watts is one of the highest ranked women on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon list coming in at # 97. These are the other actors on the list she has appeared with.
