Many years ago, using the weekly TV guide that came with the Sunday Chicago Tribune, I started keeping track of all of the movies I had seen over the course of my lifetime. The guide would list the two main stars for each movie, and that is a tradition that I’ve carried on in my database ever since. So, given those guidelines, it is time to look at all of the actors that have starred in at least 10 films that I have seen, as of July 1st.
Today, we continue with the 5 actors that have starred in 15 movies that I have seen, down 2 from 3 years ago.
Cameron Diaz
After a 3 year gap following 2011, Diaz returned to my notice in 2014 and again in 2015 with The Other Woman, rising 2 slots.
Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson moves up one spot thanks to 2015’s The Kingsman, which I saw in 2016, breaking a 6 year drought.
Angelina Jolie
Her last appearance on my screen is still in 2012, when I saw her in Changeling.
Steve Martin
The last starring role of his that I saw remains 2005’s Shopgirl, which I saw in 2009.
Robin Williams
Seeing as he is no longer walking the Earth, 2008 is still both my biggest Williams year and my last time seeing his films, thanks to Jack, License To Wed, and The Night Listener.
