Finally…..Victor Fleming only has one The Wizard of Oz in his tables….that only took 5 days to fix……so FRUSTRATING! And now UMR Hall of Famer BryRog57 (better known as SoC1) and his wife have the virus….also equaling FRUSTRATING!
Victor Fleming, one of Hollywoods greatest directors. Worthy of a UMR stats page.
I’ve seen 11 of the 38 films on the chart, less than I thought. Top favorites are – Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Treasure Island, Test Pilot and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I’ve also seen Reckless, Red Dust, Bombshell, A Guy Named Joe, Joan of Arc and Adventure. All enjoyable except Joan of Arc which was depressing.
I don’t think I’ve seen Captains Courageous and it’s in my collection.
Bruce, you’ve got Wizard of Oz printed twice in the charts and with the same stats.
Gone With the Wind still king of them all, more tickets sold than any other film.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!

Thank you Mike. Still experiencing some issues with the new database home……we can not get rid of one of the Wizard of Ozs…sadly…these duplicate movies are appearing on many pages….I actually researched and did the data entry on your Miriam Hopkins request….but it brought in three Hopkins duplicates…..soooooo frustrating!
