RIP Fred Ward. Unexpected and sad to hear of his passing.
I’ve seen 16 of the 52 films on the chart. Favorites are The Right Stuff, Remo, Tremors, Escape from Alcatraz and Uncommon Valor.
Good to see The Right Stuff topping the UMR and critics chart. I haven’t seen his top grossing film Sweet Home Alabama.
Nice work Bruce. Vote Up!
