  1. Tired of obscure people from the Oracle of Bacon, these are the most prolific actors of 2014 (5 or more roles) from Movie Insider.

    8 Wendy McLendon-Covey
    7 Willem Dafoe
    6 Ray Liotta, Rosario Dawson, Liam Neeson, Dennis Haysbert, Morgan Freeman, Wes Bentley, Andy Garcia, Oliver Platt
    5 Imogen Poots, Brenton Thwaites, Kevin Hart, Michael Kenneth Williams, Dominic Cooper, Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, Dan Stevens, Stanley Tucci, James Franco, Elijah Wood

    1. Hey Dan…I like the new stats. 2014 the leader was Ms Wendy? I will have to do an IMDb search on her…the name sounds familiar. Morgan Freeman and Kevin Hart have kept that pace going in 2015 and 2016. Poor Nic Cage….making movies left and right and nobody is seeing them. Good stuff.

        1. Hey Dan…thanks for the information on Ms. Wendy….I was thinking she was the neighbors mom in Honey I Shrunk The Kids. I think I was just a little off….lol.

  2. An update on my previous comment, I’ve now seen 74 of the 146 films you’ve listed. I still haven’t seen Boyhood, Whiplash or Exodus. But I’ve seen nearly all the top 30 films you’ve listed. Good to see Sniper, Guardians and Lego Movie at the top. I expected The Grand Budapest Hotel and Birdman to be higher though, box office wasn’t good enough I suppose?

    1. Hey Steve….well after all the updates…this page will have no more new movies….my tally count today….is 109 of 153 or 71.24%…..I wonder what your new tally is now?

    1. @dillon1987….. Very cool…..I am up to seeing 73 of these movies…not too bad concerning I really get to see movies in theaters anymore. Thanks for the comment.

  3. Glad to see that Channing’s 22 Jump Street is so highly ranked. I look forward to his Foxcatcher.

    1. @i love Channing. Your boy had a great 2014. Foxcatcher even picked up 2 Oscar nominations…..thanks for stopping by.
