8 years of watching and ranking films. Let's see what has changed.

2. Orlando Bloom 82.18 (11 films) -1.27 score / -1 rank

10. Simon Pegg 78.33 (12 films) NEW!

Apparently a lot changed, as almost entirely new list of actors now.

• Chris Cooper and Tilda Swinton are now tied, ranking in at #13 (13 films, 77.8 each)
  
  Harrison Ford would be #15 (21 films, 77.7) while Elijah Wood would be #16 (only 15 films, 77.7)
  
  Brad Pitt falls to #18 (27 films, 77)
  
  Ralph Fiennes falls to #19 (14 films, 76.9)
  
  Natalie Portman plummets to somewhere outside the top 30 (16 films, 74.8)

I am going to assume that 8 long years of super hero bloat has absolutely decimated my rankings. Over time I'm noticing that I am started to rank these films lower and lower, so I imagine that this list will change dramatically the next time I update it.

Well, this was fun, but man this list awfully white. Filtered to top 10 by score average, and then sorted by percentile:

6. Michael Caine ....... 62.50% | 14 movies (A Shock to the System)
7. Elijah Wood .......... 62.40% | 10 movies (Eternal Sunshine)
8. John Goodman ...... 61.40% | 10 movies (O Brother, Where Art Thou?)
9. John Mahoney ....... 59.00% | 10 movies (Eight Men Out)

So, the secret is out. Orlando Bloom is an embarrassing #1. However, my love for Tolkien should not be held against me. His appearance in the Hobbit films, which are a guilty pleasure of mine, bumped him to 10 films. And I really enjoy the Pirates franchise, as well. It's all very embarrassing on this site to admit these things, but what can you do?

I'm not sure how Ratzenberger dropped an entire film. Mind-boggling. I don't even know which one it was.

It's been a full year since I last updated this list, which seems crazy. I should do it more often. Lots of movement. My love for Marvel bumped up Portman. Elijah Wood comes out of nowhere, and I don't think the Hobbit has anything to do with it. I gave Eternal Sunshine a big bump in my ratings, so I imagine that's where he came from.

Tilda Swinton takes me by surprise. I didn't realize that she was in that much that I've seen. She's an actress I really recognize by name only. Wes Anderson has helped to propel her higher.

Bill Murray completely dropping off the list after being #2 on it last year is very surprising. Of course, I did start tanking the scores of Space Jam, Scrooged, and The Man Who Knew too Little.

Lockout probably dropped Guy Pierce off the list.

Expect Star Wars to help out Harrison Ford when it comes out. Michael Caine is still waiting in the wings, as well, only 0.11 points below Elijah Wood, who will tank if I ever see and rank Witchhunter, I'm sure.

9. Jeff Bridges 76.73, (11 films) NEW! (kinda)
10. Kevin Spacey 76.67, (12 films) -0.16 / -1 rank

So, my top ten actors (minus John Ratzenberger because of his close association with Pixar) are all pretty tightly clumped. Jeff Bridges, despite having a lower total score since the last time he appeared on my list, managed to work his way back onto the list, knocking off Michael Caine. Caine fell because I ranked Now You See Me (low) and I lowered my score for Get Carter by A LOT.

There are five actors sitting on 9 films waiting to jump on the list. Two, for sure, will make it, and one of those two will be embarrassing when he does, but I will wait to see how it all develops.

I ranked Ender's Game lower than Harrison Ford's average, so I'm not sure how he went up in points, but I must have made adjustments to something.

Small change. Bill Murray dropped two places to 8th with a score of 77.07 after I dropped my score for Zombieland a little.

Looking over my list it for the most part makes sense, with the exception of Philip Baker Hall. I have no idea how he got on there.

Lot of changes since I posted that list.

Elijah Wood fell 0.14 points to 11th place overall. I'm not sure what change I made for that to happen. I'm thinking it was lowering my ranking for Everything is Illuminated, which I loved, probably ranked too high. He doesn't deserve to be on the list anyways, having an inflated score from the Lord of the Rings films.

Looks like I somehow misplaced a Brad Pitt movie, and Michael Caine got his two films back. Brian Cox fell from 4th overall to 15th thanks to the movie Red Eye, which is officially his worst film I've seen. Kevin Spacey has always been waiting in the wings to move in, so that's no surprise.
