1. I’m calling shenanigans, you have Charlton Heston’s picture at the top but he isn’t listed anywhere on the charts! I thought Mr. Epic was going to top them all! [bursts into tears]

   I don’t recognise any of the other names on here… I’m leaving… [Stop it Steve!]

   I see Brando made the list, that should please Bob.

   Wait… Bruce Willis has more great movies in his C.V. than Judah Ben-Hur? Is this an alternate universe?

   Good to see John Wayne near the top. The top 6 golden greats I have no problem with but after that it’s every man for himself, into the lifeboats! I’m kidding.

   Nice to see Vincent Price has a few good movies under his belt. Myrna Loy did well too.

   Interesting idea Bruce, the opposite of the previous one which had the most bad movies. Was Chuck listed on that one? tsk tsk I might forgive you some day…. walks out in a huff…

   1. Wow Bob and I posted at exactly the same time, what are the odds?

   2. STEVE I think that you and I posting something at exactly the same time about the same subject shows how much in harmony we are.

      On the subject of harmony [or disharmony] I was wondering if I should suggest to Work Horse that as an addition to his excellent versus series [eg Crawford v Davis] it would be worthwhile starting a Cogerson v Lensman page which recorded the greatest ratings agreements and disagreements between you and Grocery Boy as reflected in my Top 6s comparisons when I respond to your videos.

      Maybe though it would provoke too many poisonous quarrels like we’re getting over Brexit at present.? [Though for the purpose of the suggested additional ‘versus’ exercise if it did go ahead you could be Boris and he could be Michael Gove.]

      But America’s most popular actor and its greatest mumbler BOTH doing well on a WH ranking page! I wonder if the Cogerson Household ‘s copy of the 1983 Necronomicon has gone missing for now?

      1. Bob, I think Bruce would rather forget our little disagreements, mostly minor, everyone has an opinion that’s how it is. Don’t forget we also agree on a lot of things so it’s not fair to highlight the negative.

         About this new page, do you think the charts are correct and Heston hasn’t made more than 9 good films? Even Dean Martin has made it to the chart with 13 high scoring movies, which films I wonder? The Matt Helm series?

         Bill Hader’s up there too. Who?

         1. p.s. oh look your Joan (Crawford) is missing from the chart too. ooh.

            At least our Myrna hasn’t been forgotten. 🙂

            1. HI STEVE

               Well WH may have been prepared to defy Joel by including Mumbles and The Duke but it would have been a stretch for him to include Joan when she was in competition with Myrna for Queen Bee at MGM and Joan won according to Melvyn Douglas.

               Now if the criterion had been actresses with THE LEADING ROLE in most good movies and WH had been honest about it he would have produced a chart where Crawford was in and Myrna had disappeared off the scene.

               For my money though that picture of Chuck above is the centre of attraction on this new page even if he’s not mentioned. Maybe WH likes looking at Chuck in preference to Chuck’s films

         2. HI STEVE For my money Chuck made droves of good movies but here off the top of my head in no particular order are 15 that are considered by many enlightened critics as top notch:

            Major Dundee
            The War Lord
            Khartoum
            The Ten Commandments
            Touch of Evil
            The Big Country
            Ben Hur
            El Cid
            Agony and the Ecstasy
            Will Penny
            Planet of the Apes
            Soylent Green
            The Three Musketeers [1973]
            The Four Musketeers
            The Naked Jungle

            As I say that list is based on the opinions of OTHERS but I too personally think the same 15 would enhance any performer’s filmography

            1. That’s an excellent list Bob, that’s why I’m surprised Chuck didn’t make the page, apart from the eyecatching photo. 🙂

               Now, does Dean Martin, and I’m a fan, have a comparable list of good movies? He did make the chart. As did Tony Curtis.

               Well Bruce did admit a few years ago that he wasn’t really a Heston fan and was only now catching up on some of his best films. Just sayin’…. [wink]

2. HI MAN OF A THOUSAND PROFESSIONS For the past fortnight I have been unable to access the entries flagged up in the boxes at the sides of your pages even when I clear away the ads. so when seeking admittance to a new page I have had to gain access to it via the flag-ups along the tops of pages.

   Unfortunately Grocery Boy is not listed at the moment on the page tops and whilst it and the 90.00+ survey are obviously not topics that complement each other I would wish to compliment you on Grocery Boy if I find it worth reading. I hope so because I too was a grocery boy years ago.

   I wonder the problem that I have mentioned is peculiar to just my computer or do you know if others are experiencing it?

   However gaining access isn’t always good for the ego because I see that you never got round to replying to my 29 May post on the “Most Bad Movies”– maybe too busy delivering groceries immediately after teaching!

   As I gave a lot of thought to that Most Bad Movies page and to my own response to it, perhaps I should heed my Bible more, particularly 7:6 of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament which is part of the Sermon on the Mount-

   “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet.”

3. Interesting to see the contrast of this page to that of the most films below 10.0.

   Great to see so many of my favourites in the top 20. Gregory Peck in 11th pace with 21 films 90% or better and with a 40.0% rate is wonderful.

   Glad that Stewart, Grant, Cooper, Tracy, Bogart, Gable, Garland, Lancaster, Loy, and Fonda have high totals of 90.0 plus films.

   1. Hey Flora. Thanks for checking out this page. Seems the classic stars own the “count” list while the younger stars own the “percentage” list…..but….those percentages will drop the more movies they make. I figured you would enjoy that Peck made both lists. This and the “bad” movies have been fun to put together and look at….thanks for the feedback.

4. Do you realize that if you sort by lowest percentage, Michael Caine is sitting in second to last place? Are you ok with that? Are you not a fan of him anymore? Certainly things have not changed that much since my last visit. Got a week off work, so I figured it was time to catch up on UMR.

   1. Good to hear from you SteinHoF16…your sense of humor has been missed. Hope you enjoy your time off of work. Yep….I see that Mr. Caine is down the list when looking %. At least he has at lest 10 or more great movies. Glad you found time to catch up on UMR.
