1. Jean-Luc Godard 31.94 (18 films)
2. Robert Duvall 30.50 (10 films)
3. Vincent Price 29.17 (12 films)
4. Martin Sheen 28.75 (12 films)
5. Bill Murray 28.08 (13 films)
6. John Ratzenberger 27.27 (11 films)
== Brad Dourif 3.00 (11 films)
8. Brendan Gleeson 27.00 (10 films)
== Ethan Suplee 27.00 (10 films)
10. Brian Cox 26.67 (12 films)

Of these, only Vincent Price would also qualify as one of my favourite actors, and is probably the only one of these particular actors whose performances noticeably improve flawed productions. Others rate so highly largely because they've starred in films by decent directors, which seems like an inevitability in stuff like this (which is not to say they haven't given individually great performances along the way, since Dourif and Cox certainly have).

Some very small adjustments breaks the three way tie for 5th. We've now got #5 Caine - #6 Cox - #7 Pearce.

Robert Duvall------------80.00/14
Joseph Gordon-Levitt --79.00/10
Russell Crowe-----------78.67/15
Leonardo DiCaprio----- 77.50/12
Scott Glenn--------------77.50/10
Donald Sutherland-------77.27/11
Morgan Freeman--------77.00/20
Edward Norton-----------76.50/10
Meryl Streep-------------75.45/11
Matt Damon------------- 75.22/23

Duvall is not in my all time top ten and certainly not my #1, but he does show up in a lot of my favorite movies. It's amazing how much the list changes with every step in the number of films. This is with 5 films.

Adrien Brody
Emma Thompson
Jeremy Renner
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Melanie Lynskey
Robert Duvall
Jessica Chastain
Anna Kendrick
Derek Jacobi
James Caan

Top 10
1. John Goodman 86.70 (10 films)
2. Brad Pitt 85.15 (13 films)
3. Bill Murray 84.92 (13 films)
4. John Ratzenberger 84.15 (13 films)
5. Gary Oldman 82.00 (12 films)
6. Michael Gambon 80.40 (10 films)
7. Willem Dafoe 80.08 (13 films)
8. Christian Bale 80.00 (10 films)
9. Robert Downey Jr. 78.91 (11 films)
10. Danny Trejo 78.27 (11 films)

Next 5: Matt Damon, Jonah Hill, George Clooney, Seth Rogen, Sigourney Weaver

A lot of guys here that I consider some of my favorite actors, and I'm not at all surprised to see Pitt, Murray, and Oldman so high on the list. John Goodman being no. 1 suprised me a bit, but I just didn't realize how many movies he's in that I absolutely love (Big Lebowski, O Brother, Argo, Raising Arizona, etc.)

Bottom 5
5. Ben Affleck 61.30 (10 films)
4. Jack Black 60.27 (11 films)
3. Christopher Lee 57.82 (11 films)
2. Keith David 56.40 (10 films)
1. Robert Englund 52.80 (10 films)

Aside from Black, I like all of these actors, but they've definitely all been in some dogs. Affleck's low rating is a shame since his recent stuff is so good, but Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, and Daredevil drag him down big time.

As I mentioned a month ago, I tweaked a few films here and there. Most of the time when I make adjustments, it's only a point or two, so most things don't move at all.

I don't know what happened. I lost a few films from Michael Caine, and I must have downgraded a lot of films. Jeff Bridges and Maggie Smith are gone (ranked overall 13 and 14 behind Kevin Spacey and Chris Cooper). I know I ranked the Lord of the Ring films high, but am not sure where Elijah Wood came from. It must have happened when I ranked the Hobbit. It's also sorta amusing that I have so many ties.

Another slew of changes.

1. John Ratzenberger 79.73, (11 films) +0.73 score / +1 rank
2. Brad Pitt 78.81, (21 films) -0.46 score / -1 rank / -1 film (?)

7. Ralph Fiennes 77.27, (11 films) -0.09 score / -1 rank
8. Natalie Portman 77.25, (12 films)-0.25 score / -4 rank
9. Elijah Wood 76.87, (15 films)
10. Kevin Spacey 76.83, (12 films) NEW!

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.
