\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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. \u00a0The guide would list the two main stars for each movie, and that is a tradition that I\u2019ve carried on in my database ever since.\u00a0 Given those guidelines, it is time once again to look at the now 111 actors that have starred in at least 10 films that I have seen, as of August 1.<\/p>\n

We continue today with the five actors that have starred in exactly 16 movies that I have seen, even with three years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amy Adams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amy Adams made her first appearance on my screen in 2001, when I watched the repurposed television pilot that became Cruel Intentions 2<\/em>.\u00a0 She returned in 2008, starting a run of eight films in four years.\u00a0 After a five-year absence, she returned in 2022 to start another three-year run, ending with 2024’s Nightbitch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Drew Barrymore<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most prolific actors on my radar in the 1990s and 2000s, she has disappeared since, with the most recent of her films that I\u2019ve seen, Music And Lyrics<\/em>, coming in 2008.<\/p>\n

Jamie Lee Curtis<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first experience with the former teenage scream queen was likely one of the first two Halloween <\/em>films, the franchise that is responsible for nearly 47% of the films on this list.\u00a0 After a seven-year lull, she returned with the latest reboot\/continuation of the Halloween <\/em>franchise, which culminated in 2022\u2019s Halloween Ends<\/em>.\u00a0 Her most recent appearance came in 2025, thanks to the sequel Freakier Friday<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Angelina Jolie<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first starring role of Angelina Jolie\u2019s that I saw was 1995\u2019s Hackers<\/em>.\u00a0 2005 was my most prolific Jolie year, when I took in three of her films, and she hit with two in 2000, 2004, and 2011.\u00a0 After an eleven-year absence, she returned to my screen was in 2023, when I saw her in 2021’s Those Who Wish Me Dead<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Brad Pitt<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1994, I saw a little film called\u00a0Kalifornia<\/em>, which introduced me to Brad Pitt. \u00a0While he would become a mega-star over the next few years, I was a bit of a late comer to his films. \u00a0Other than watching\u00a0A River Runs Through It<\/em> in 1997 during the Sports in Literature class I took during my last semester of college, it was 2000 before I saw another Pitt film. \u00a0Making up for lost time, I plowed through three films in 2000.\u00a0 He had a four-year streak between in 2010 and 2013, then entered a dry spell that ended in 2020, when he reappeared with two films.\u00a0 His most recent appearance was in 2022, thanks to that year\u2019s Bullet Train<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
