Check out Gérard Depardieu‘s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
Over a hundred movies, whoa! Kudos finding the stats on these films.
I’ve seen just 7 out of the 113 films on the chart. They are – Green Card, The Man in the Iron Mask, 1492 – Conquest of Paradise, Hamlet, My Father the Hero, Babylon AD and Life of Pi.
All were enjoyable in different ways.
I don’t remember him in Life of Pi but the 3D visuals were very effective.
Good work Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve
1. Thanks as always for the feedback.
2. Yep….over 100 movies….and about another 100 missing…..those did not see much love at the box office anywhere in the world.
3. Tally count: Cogerson 9, Steve 7, bob cox 6 and Flora 1.
4. I have seen 3 of your favorites….The Man With The Iron Mask would be my favorite of that group.
5. As for Life of Pi….I like you barely remember him in the movie….but I tripled checked to make sure he was indeed in the movie.
Good stuff as always.
