I can't think of many of his numerous movies that I didn't like.

"Old Henry" was very good to partake.

Am I the only one whose mind went to a porn actress? I have a particular one in mind that I have seen in easily over 24 movies but I never knew her name. I’d watch her movies again except I’m blind now and can’t see a darn thing.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

It would be DeNiro, despite his bs politics. He’s been in many Scorsese films.

Godfather 1

DeNiro was not in the first Godfather, so that throws off your 24 list

I'll still take 24 films of Bogart over DeNiro, but he did appear in a lot of great films. Missing from your list is Brazil directed by Terry Gilliam, one of my favorites, he has a small part as Tuttle.

Hanks,

The guy is just a great actor, he plays so many types of men, Saving Private Ryan, Greyhound, Apollo 13, to Castaway, Big, Sleepless, to Mr Rodgers and even the Founder... He just has a broad range and makes the most of each part...Even if you don't like a particular type of movie, it's not his fault.

Ha, brain fart. Bet I can come up with another one to take its place, though. I haven’t seen Brazil as Gilliam is a little out there for me. The Irishman was ok (too long), Silver Linings Playbook, Limitless, The Good Shepherd…

I do like Bogey but haven’t seen 24 of his films. Love Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep, and The African Queen.
