Re: Top 10 highest-scoring actors (10 film minimum)

I've made an attempt to post my list twice, but twice now have accidentally closed the window before posting. Let's give it another go.


Natalie Portman 80.64, (11 films)
Brad Pitt 79.55, (22 films)
Ralph Fiennes 78.70, (10 films)
Harrison Ford 78.31, (16 films)
Guy Pearce 78.00, (10 films)
Bill Murray 77.57, (14 films)
Michael Caine 77.46, (13 films)
Alan Rickman 77.27, (15 films)
Brian Cox 77.23, (13 films)
Jeff Bridges 77.00, (11 films)
Maggie Smith 77.00, (10 films)

I wish my list did include some older actors active during the 50's and 60's, but truth be told, I haven't watched enough films from before the early 90's. I guess it's my age or something. I make an effort to watch older movies, but it's not as if they're readily available, and my wife is bored to tears if we watch something that was released before she was born.

I admit, I ranked the Star Wars prequels too high. I tried to rank them without comparing them to the original trilogy, and I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so it was hard to be too tough on them. And I've also got a soft spot for the Harry Potter films. I mean, none of them are absolutely stellar, but I'm a fantasy geek, and that stuff gets to me.

In fact, Viggo Mortensen would have made the list if it wasn't for the stuff he did pre-Lord of the Rings.

I'm sad because Joseph Gordon-Levitt will never make this list as he was in both Beethoven and Angels in the Outfield.

Frank Welker has an unhappy distinction. I've seen more of his films than anyone else at 26, but he's in my bottom four. Half of his films I've scored a 50 or less. And I don't even know what this guy really looks like. Apparently he's a voice actor.

Rob Schneider is my lowest ranked actor, having the only average film ranking below 50. My highest ranked Rob Schneider film is Grandma's Boy, sitting at 68.
