Have seen 48, obviously not Jason Bourne and 2 from the 70’s, Life Study and Eliza’s Horiscope which I’ve never heard of. Cobb was my favorite film of 1994 (I’m a sucker for baseball movies) and House of Cards was in my 10 best of 1993.

With Jason Bourne being so close to release….I felt I should include it. It will interesting to see how close these projections end up….I feel pretty good they will not be any lower…..but could be higher.
Cobb is awesome. It is a movie I think about all the time. There is a line in the movie at the end….that says something like….”He died quietly in his sleep….somehow…I think he went kicking and screaming”…I think about that all the time when I hear somebody passed away during the night.
I have not seen House of Cards….but it is now on my list of movies to watch.
So I started working on your request of Marshall and Kennedy…..originally I thought it was going to be an easy one….instead….it is actually going to be somewhat difficult…..so it will probably be 3 pages away….Mel Brooks….classic page and then the M & K team.
I visited your site for the first time only a few days ago. I come back and not only is my request completed it is already an old one. I am impressed. For the viewing Olympics I have seen 32 of his movies. My favorites are The Fugitive, Cobb, Valley of Elah and Men In Black. Thanks for mentioning me. I repeat I am impressed.
Hey Rendon…..it took you a few days to come back…..lol. Luckily we get lots of requests….some like your TLJ request…make me think….”yeah he/she would make a good subject”…so they go to the top of list. Glad you liked it. I loved Cobb as well….surprised nobody has mentioned that one yet. To me Cobb is one of his great performances. Thanks for sharing your tally count. That is enough for 3rd place…glad to see came back.
