    I have seen 25 of Rita’s movies. The highest ranked I haven’t seen is If These Walls Could Talk. Both that film and Barbarian at the Gates were made for HBO.

      Damn Dan… I thought I might top you here. I have seen 19 of her movies. Pretty sure I have seen Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie….but all of those movies get put in a blur in my head…and I certainly do not remember her part in the movie…so I did not include it my tally count. Good stuff as always.
