Hey Dan. Great lists as always. I would imagine she is moving down the Oracle list, versus moving up. Her movie career has slowed over the last few years, mainly because her television career is going full blast. Still, 252nd is pretty impressive. I bet Grindhouse/Planet Terror and Deathproof really really confuse people in the future. I actually saw that one in theaters….the theater I saw it in, loved the movie….I was shocked when it fizzled out at the box office.
First list…Sin City alumni leading the way in most frequent Bacon co-stars…as Bruce, Mickey and Carla all have 3 movies together with her. Second list is pretty short….for as many movies she has appeared in, that is a really really small total. Good stuff! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
I saw 10, including 6 of top 8. no 10s, no favorites. hidden gem is 7 pounds. I believe that some actors are consistently discounteded by UMR reviews, notably kevin Costner and will smith. 2 of my favorites .
Hey bob cox. Tally count. Cogerson 30, Steve 12, bob cox 10 and Bob 4. I would put Sin City as a 10….if only because of it’s historic value…the first of it’s kind…nobody had done a movie like, and it was so visually stunning back then. Review % has gained a big piece of the rating pie as time has passed….and yes….that has hurt some major box office stars like Costner and Smith. Seven Pounds is the movie that ended Will Smith’s incredible box office run. Good feedback as always.
Thanks for the page. I enjoyed it immensely!!! She’s a wonderful actress and show great talent in each roll she had played. She plays a character in the Marvel’s Luke Cage and Daredevil stories on TV.
Hey George. Glad you like your requested page. She has made a lot more movies than I realized. And I have seen a lot more of her movies, than I thought. I had no idea I had seen 30 of her movies. Her television career is going strong….so strong it seems to have slowed her movie career. Thanks for the suggestion.
