For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
Bad Boy’s miami take down was a awsome game!
Very cool…Johny
I love Will Smith ( obvious Philadelphia tides aside) & The Pursuit of Happiness…Was it nominated for any awards? It was masterful acting…two favorite scenes? When he pretends he’s seeing dinosaurs to get his son into a subway bathroom so they can go sleep and when he’s told that he got the job…
Hey jeolmoz2…thanks for checking out my Will Smith hub. Pursuit of Happyness….got nominated for one Oscar…which was for Will Smith as Best Actor….it was much deserved. Pursuit of Happyness is my wife’s favorite Will Smith movie. I liked both scenes you mentioned….and can see why you have such Philly pride…thanks for the comment.
Will Smith is one of my most favorite Hollywood heroes. Thank you for sharing this great information. Voted up and shared with my followers.
Hey janinismus. Thanks for checking out my hub and for the compliment. I am very glad that Will Smith is done with his three year break.
Dammit Conanson I’m only interested in Wheel Smifs music videos! 😉
Men in Black no.1, I have no problem with that at all, really enjoyed it and the movie wasn’t bad either.
Will Smith films I’ve seen at the cinema – ID4, MiB, I Robot and… that’s it. I have a weakness for sci-fi good or bad as you may have noticed. I wasn’t that impressed with I am Legend though.
I have yet to see Ali, Smith’s controversial version of the old Arabian Nights tale- Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, I hear it got good reviews.
Voted Up and Awesome.
I am sorry SteveLensman….I will get to work on those Will Smith videos….. Ali is also a movie I have not seen…..but now that I know what it is about….it will move to the top of my movies to see list.
It is hard to believe but it will be 4 years between Will Smith movies whenever Men in Black 3 opens up next year…damn does time fly.
Looking at IMDB…he has no movies after Men in Black 3…which means the next one after that might not be here until late 2013 or 2014….now those years look scary to read and type.
I might go and see Men in Black 3 though it doesn’t look to be much different than the previous two.
Bruce, I’ve seen 12 of the 19 films you’ve listed, 9 from the box office top 10 and 6 from the critics top 10. I haven’t seen your top rated moviescore film Pursuit of Happyness.
Hey Steve thanks for checking out one of my oldest hubs….it is the 5th one that I wrote. I have seen 14 of his 20 movies. I just watched Ali the other night….I was not too impressed…it could have been much better.
I have to tip my hat off to you again for putting together another great page. I was a bit surprised to see “Wild Wild West” rank as highly as it did, as I thought for sure that film bombed in theaters. Then again, I guess you can’t argue with the numbers. Anyway, keep up the great work
Hey Stevennix2001….well its box office success is the only reason it finished 12th….but 12th is still low for him as he only has 19 movies…and if you throw out his early supporting roles….you are looking at 12th of 15 movies.
When Wild Wild West opened….it destroyed its July 4th opening weekend….but by the second weekend…the word was out….and that word was to avoid this horrible movie. Thanks for stopping by.
