\"Movie_Reel_22\"<\/a>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’ve carried on in my database ever since. \u00a0So, 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 May 30th.<\/p>\n

Today, we start with the 14 actors that have starred in 10 movies that I have seen.<\/p>\n

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

I was first introduced to Amy Adams back in 2001 via the direct-to-video sequel to Cruel Intentions<\/em>.\u00a0 Things were quiet until 2008, when I saw her in Enchanted<\/em>, which started a four year run with at least one film per year.\u00a0 2010 was big Amy Adams year for me, where she starred in 4 different movies that I saw that year.\u00a0 The last movie I saw featuring her was last year’s Man of Steel<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Jessica Alba<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first movie exposure to Jessica Alba was the 2000 indie thriller Paranoid<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a02004 kicked off a 4 year run of at least one film per year.\u00a0 2009 was my high water mark in Jessica Alba films, when I saw 3 of them.\u00a0 Her run as Sue Storm in the Fantastic\u00a0Four<\/em> franchise accounted for 2 of the 10 films.\u00a0 2010’s Valentine’s Day<\/em>, which I saw in 2011, was the last film I saw starring Alba.<\/p>\n

Dan Aykroyd<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first Dan Aykroyd film was likely 1984’s Ghostbusters<\/em>.\u00a0 My best Aykroyd years were 1988 and 1996, when I saw 2 of his films in each year.\u00a0 2002 was the last year I saw an Aykroyd-starring vehicle, 200’s Stardom<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Chevy Chase<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another SNL<\/em> vet\u00a0on the list, Chase first entered my movie-watching universe in 1986 when I saw Three Amigos!<\/em> in the theater.\u00a0 The Vacation<\/em> franchise is responsible for\u00a040% of Chase’s total output here.\u00a0 The last Chevy Chase film I saw was in 2009, when I saw 1985’s Fletch<\/em> for the first time.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Connelly<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a 16 year old in the spring of 1991, I fell in love with Jennifer Connelly thanks to the ads for Career Opportunities<\/em>, which is likely the first place I saw her.\u00a0 2000\u00a0was my most prolific Jennifer Connelly year, when I saw a whopping 2 movies starring her.\u00a0 2009 was the last time I saw one of her starring performances, in 2008’s The Day The Earth Stood Still<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Billy Crystal<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first theatrical exposure to\u00a0Billy Crystal was probably 1987’s Throw Mama From The Train<\/em>.\u00a0My biggest Crystal year was 1995, when I saw 3 of his starring roles.\u00a0 It has been 10 years since I’ve seen one of his films, the last being 2002’s Analyze That<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Zooey Deschanel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former indie darling Zooey Deschanel first entered my consciousness in 2005, when I saw her in All The Real\u00a0Girls<\/em>.\u00a02008 kicked off\u00a0a 2 year run where I saw 7 of the 10 films that placed her on this list.\u00a0 I last saw one of her films in 2011, when I watched the 2007 release The Good Life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Will Ferrell<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fourth SNL alum on this week’s list, Will Ferrell first\u00a0streaked on to the list\u00a0of film actors I’ve seen in 2003 with Old School<\/em>.\u00a0 Since then, his appearances have been pretty consistent, with 2 3-year streaks over the past 11 years.\u00a0 The most recent film of his I’ve seen was 2012’s The Campaign<\/em>, which I saw earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Michael J. Fox<\/strong><\/p>\n

1983’s TV movie High School USA<\/em> was probably my first movie experience with Michael J. Fox.\u00a0 The Back to the Future<\/em> franchise made up 30% of Fox’s overall total.\u00a0 My last Michael J. Fox film was way back in 1996, when he starred in The Frighteners<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Melissa Joan Hart<\/strong><\/p>\n

Made-for-TV movies have been\u00a0very good for Melissa Joan Hart, and my\u00a0first film experience with her was 1996’s Sabrina the Teenage Witch<\/em>, which served as a psuedo-pilot for the television series.\u00a0 This kicked off\u00a0a good 5-year run of at least one film per year.\u00a0 After a long layoff from films I have seen, she came back with movies in 2008 and 2011, which was the last time I’ve seen her in a film.<\/p>\n

Nicole Kidman<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first saw\u00a0Nicole Kidman in 1993’s My Life<\/em>.\u00a0 Since then, she has appeared in bursts, with lengthy layoffs in between.\u00a0 The last time I saw one of her films was in 2008, when I saw 2007’s The Invasion<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Dennis Quaid<\/strong><\/p>\n

My first\u00a0experience with Dennis\u00a0Quaid was\u00a0probably 1987’s Innerspace<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0The 10 films of his I’ve seen have been quite evenly spaced over the\u00a027 years since.\u00a0\u00a0His last starring appearance on a screen in front of me was in 2009, when I saw 2008’s Vantage Point<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Ben Stiller<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ben Stiller first entered my movie-watching consciousness in 1997, thanks to the previous year’s Flirting With Disaster<\/em>.\u00a0 He put together a 4-year streak from 2001-2004.\u00a0 I last saw him in 2011, when I watched Night At the Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian<\/em> despite having never seen the first one.<\/p>\n

Charlize Theron<\/strong><\/p>\n

2000 brought Charlize Theron’s starring roles into my life in a big way, when she debuted with 3 films in one year.\u00a0 She has been pretty consistent since, though she hasn’t been able to duplicate the multiple film blast she had that first year.\u00a0 My last theatrical experience with her was last year, when I watched 2011’s Young Adult<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
