Top Movie Stars of the 1960s

Who were the Top Movie Stars of the 1960s statistically? This page will attempt to answer that question. Our main source of information was our Ultimate Movie Ranking (UMR) pages that covered movie stars that made movies in the 1960s. So far we have box office grosses on 1,644 movies made between 1960 and 1969. Granted this is far from all the movies made during that time frame….but it does cover most of the major movie releases in that decade.

We have included four lists of information. List one looks at the Top 15 stars by adjusted domestic box office (the Top Star might surprise you). List two looks at the Top 15 stars by highest average rating per movie according to critics and audiences. List three looks at the Top 15 Stars by highest average UMR score per movie. List four shows our entire table of all the stars we looked at while complying these lists.

Yes, these lists are not accurate as they list supporting actors who happen to be in a smash hit, but the movies a hit without them biang in the production so tickets are not sold on their name, example Ronney Macdowell,

I read the rules on hiw these lists are generated, but for whatever reasons these list do not feel right. Samuel L.Jackson may have been in the most successful ovies in the 1990s (Jurassjc Park being a massive contributor to the B.O.), but he was not one of the stars and arguably at that time was not a factor in people.buting the tickets. Ea g decade feels similarly skewed – the sound of music in the ’60s’, Jaws snd star wars in the 70s. Was Harrison Ford a bigger star in the 1970s than Paul Newman? No. I would love to see a list that better represents the ‘star power’ where the bix office/ ticket sales of mi is where these actors are the lead, or star, is factored in.
