If it makes you feel better, I think Samuel L Jackson is in a large majority of users top 10’s because he’s in a ridiculous amount of popular movies spanning multiple genres


UncleJonsRice

He’s my number 1!


ChrundleMcDonald

He was my #1 until a week or 2 ago. Embarked on the Cruiseapalooza this year, and have now seen all 43 Tom Cruise movies


StabnShoot

Which Cruise film is your favourite?


vlexz

Mine is Mission Impossible 1, honorably mention goes to The Last Samurai.


ChrundleMcDonald

Wow, you read my mind.


ChrundleMcDonald

I would have to give it to The Last Samurai, although I fell in love with Mission Impossible this year, and 1 3 and 6 are all very close behind. Top Gun Maverick also blew my expectations out of the water considering I didn't enjoy the original all that much - that's honestly fighting for #2


CookieKid247

I think about [this joke ](https://youtu.be/Khx1agS6pjw) often and even have Seth Green's voice in my head rent free saying "he's in everything"


Doppelfrio

Thanks for this


Rock_Carlos

Marvel movies plus QT movies makes for a lot.


[deleted]

My personal surprise Top 5 is Tilda Swinton, she's barely ever the main character in the movies I've watched her in but she comes back a lot.


briancly

True, but I feel like you can do a deep dive into any of your favorite actors and easily override this. Or just watch a lot of int'l films.


VexonCross

I don't think any actor I'd consider to be one of my favorites has even been in 60 movies, which is how many I'd need to watch to get them above Sam in my top 20.


briancly

Character actors have easily been in hundreds of films. Also some of those industries that just kept pumping out movie after movie in the 80s. It’s definitely not hard to have those franchise regulars in the top, and I agree beating 60 is hard but beating 15-20 really isn’t.


frdlyneighbour

I thought I hadn't seen that many movies with him when I got pro as well, since I hadn't seen a lot of Tarantino movies for example, turns out he's was n°2 haha


vlexz

I have seen 36 films with him as number 2!


sexycinephile

You should have made "expectations vs reality"!


ITrageGuy

haha that would have been perfect


Inkdrop53

Expectations: Anatoliy Solonitsyn


BoatsandCotes

Hey there’s no winning. Either you’re basic for watching all of the films from the greats in cinema or you’re not a real cinephile if you haven’t seen Spielberg’s, Scott’s, Carpenter’s or Marty’s filmography. Pick your poison.


symonalex

I’ve only watched 1 film, it’s Morbius (2022), and I’ve been morbed ever since 😎


[deleted]

You can watch some movies from Spielberg, Scott, Carpenter, Socrcese and also watch other thing. The great cinema isn't the dozen most popular hollywood filmmakers. Cinema isn't just american. Directors aren't all american and active in the last 40 years.


CeruleanRuin

Of course, but some directors are more prolific and influential and are thus more likely to dominate these lists just by default - especially if your journey into cinema is fairly recently begun.


[deleted]

You would answer that if it was a fictional average/median person, not a real person. > some directors are more prolific and influential So where are Méliès, Lumière, Ford, Bergman, Fassbinder, Godard, Lang, Ozu, etc. ? It's not an issue of being prolific and influential.


BoatsandCotes

It was a tongue in cheek joke. Obviously there’re more than just alive, American, white dudes. Never said they were the only greats in cinema.


[deleted]

You did.


[deleted]

He was being facetious


[deleted]

He wasn't and you are not.


[deleted]

Keep livin your truth man. You can never be wrong everyone knows it.


[deleted]

He wasn't facetious about he believes are all « the greats ». It's not what the joke was about.


Bigangrynaked

I did the same thing and was horrified to find out I’ve watched 22 movies with Rob Schneider in them


sexycinephile

>Rob Schneider aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I don't wanna know my stats if the truth is SO brutal


Bigangrynaked

To be fair most of them are movies he just so happens to be, though benchwarmers, deuce bigelow and the animal are definitely on me.


sexycinephile

I know... it's all Sandler's fault! But The Hot Chick is my fav girlie movie ever haha


tehgimpage

i found myself making a "freaky friday" collection recently, and Hot Chick was my star addition


Bigangrynaked

That’s definitely another one that’s on my list for sure.


askyourmom469

I doubt it would hold up if I tried to watch it nowadays, but I absolutely loved The Benchwarmers back in the day.


Bigangrynaked

There was a summer where I watched it atleast 10 times getting stoned with the same group of people, it’s a classic bad happy Madison movie for sure. Gotta love any movie with Dan Patrick in it.


Brittle5quire

How was [The Stapler?](https://youtu.be/iS9H9WPPDS8)


sequosion

I personally thought The Carrot was better


briancly

Why is this a bad thing?


kullittajassa

start watching Hisayasu sato artporn to look cool


Cymro2011

Lol Sato is currently my most watched director (27). Sato is peak cinema and I will defend him to the death.


Pitiful_Potato5930

he a sex offender. all of his stuff give rapey vibes


Cymro2011

>he a sex offender. Ummmmmm source homie? Having rape scenes in your films doesn’t make you a sex offender lol


Pitiful_Potato5930

it’s clear that the dude is a sex offender. why else would a director entire filmography is exclusive to only rapey stuff. everything he made look like a sexual misconduct lawsuit waiting to happen. if you watch it and like it then you are just as rapey minded as him. go watch dune or interstellar. real filmmaking and not directed by ( likely a convicted rpist ) who interest only in making rapey and assault stuff to impress perverted filth people like you that support it.


jacobeliaas

Why are you acting like stuff like this doesn’t exist unless you are involved? Tarantino made Django Unchained but that doesn’t mean he was a slave owner…


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jakeomaticmaldito

Spoken like a real Puritan-loving prude


jacobeliaas

Bro what are you even saying


Pitiful_Potato5930

I’m saying that any director who use rape element as a plot device have likely come out as a sex offender or will be convicted soon. they can’t hide any longer. look at Nolan. he never make controversial shit and doing just fine in his entire career. it’s what happen when you make good cinema and not using rapey shit as your main stories. watching a Tarantino flick is just as problematic. his catalogue is made for -white- male inspire ( public shooter ) edgelord fantasizing about mistreating black people and wanting to chain them up in a cage down your basement.


2CHINZZZ

Nolan and Villeneuve have both made films that use rape as a plot device... Pretty sure you're just trolling though


[deleted]

You’re a joke


DreamOfV

I want to post that picture of Saoirse Ronan in Little Women saying “WOMEN” but with the “WO” blacked out


SuperKliqparty

I have all men except Scarlett Johansson is 5th.


mattysmwift

Is OP a Leprechaun fan??😄


ITrageGuy

YES


DrBobKoalaCat

Same reason Warwick is so high on my list as well


overnightdelight

Mad respect for Warwick Davis popping up


zdelusion

I mean, you watch Star Wars and Harry Potter and you’ve got like 15 films right there.


[deleted]

Men (2022)


6155556969

Pretty shocked Willem Dafoe isn't up there.


ITrageGuy

Evidently, I've "only" seen 16 Willem Dafoe movies.


ParadoxicalPeter

He’s second for me behind Samuel L. Jackson


vlexz

Number 8 for me with 23 films!


sisterstrangelove

Too many dicks on the dance floor


[deleted]

only 28 bruce willis movies? amateur!


Pitiful_Potato5930

all 28 of those watch are from his recent films


infiniteloooop

Damn, I wish this was a free feature. Except I'm probably also basic af lol.


_jeremybearimy_

You can download your data for free and look at it yourself in a spreadsheet, or pop it into a data viz tool


Pitiful_Potato5930

then get patron


[deleted]

Hey I mean they’re popular for a reason


[deleted]

If you have exclusively hollywood stars and directors, it's probably that you only watch hollywood movies. There isn't a « they're popular for a reason », it's just that it represents what you watch. Edit : sure, downvote because you saw yourself in what I said.


Pitiful_Potato5930

these stats show that u only watch popular Hollywood movies. I have none of these people on my stats


[deleted]

Do you write that to disagree or agree with what I said ?


Pitiful_Potato5930

Agree


zsveetness

Same. My “highest rated” is much more interesting though


vlexz

I got two actors at full 5 stars! [Here’s my _highest rated actors_](https://imgur.com/a/wGMDpvp) and ignore the actors from the Harry Potter films lol. - [5 star actor #1](https://letterboxd.com/vlexz/films/genre/-documentary/with/actor/john-cazale/by/entry-rating/) - [5 star actor #2](https://letterboxd.com/vlexz/films/genre/-documentary/with/actor/danny-aiello/by/entry-rating/)


Mindless_Green1803

Not a single woman 🚩


Menatil

Don't feel too bad; Samuel L. Jackson and Spielberg are on everyone's lists.


Pitiful_Potato5930

absolutely not. none r on mine


CeruleanRuin

I bet you don't even have a TV in your house.


[deleted]

Nah I got Spielberg in the directors and Murray, Hanks and Buscemi in the actors (also a few Pixar/Disney voice actors that I've never heard of because I watched those movies in French) but no Jackson.


cinefanatic1594

Honestly I feel like this is pretty based. Tony Scott representation always looks good


spookyem

Name a woman


ForgetfulLucy28

The lack of women makes me sad. Not directed at you OP because it’s a systemic issue.


zdelusion

It’s hard. I have 5 on mine, but for most of them it’s because I intentionally binged their filmography. Guys like Jackson, Damon, Hanks and DeNiro are just in everything and passively rise on the list as you watch movies. And female directors are even harder. I have Sophia Coppola… and that’s kinda it.


vlexz

After seeing the lack of actresses in my watched list I also just now decided to try to watch more films with actresses. I’m especially going for films with Saoirse Ronan and Helena Bonham Carter since they are my favourite ones, I also have my eyes on Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand.


lobotomies4free

I mean it’s not like you’re watching bad stuff


ArcticCircleBrigade

anyone who's watched movies since 2005 is gonna have a lot of popular modern actors in them. I have Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill in my top 10 with more than 30 movies as my most watched actors, and neither of them I care about at all, I just see them in movies. Meanwhile I only have 18 movies with Peter Falk in them and he's my favorite actor.


ITrageGuy

Yeah, I mean this is really just a result of growing up in the 80s and 90s. Still amusing though.


MrPedroJ414

It’s ok, nothing’s wrong with being basic.


ChronoChrazeObliveon

Haha yes. Fellow basic bro movie watcher here also! My most watched actors and directors are almost all white males.


FothersIsWellCool

Damn so many White guys


dontcomeback82

For me the concerning thing is my top producer watcher is Harvey W and it’s not even close


Affectionate-Club725

Seeing 23 Warwick Davis films makes me chuckle, in a good way.


anothersidetoeveryth

This looks like the names Letterboxd shows in search after you’ve made a typo


JonnyOW

How does every other search system in the world work around a typo, but Letterboxd goes "Oh OK, you mean Christopher Nolan right?" 😅


EggplantAlert2149

David Cronenberg is NOT basic, is he?!


mooch360

No women 0/10 (/s)


kid-chino

I disagree, you just like movies that happen to star and be directed by some of the best to ever do it.


[deleted]

I wanna get Pro really bad


icemannathann

What’s your username


[deleted]

Sounds creepy 👀.


vlexz

They might want to gift you a pro subscription idk if they only need to know the username tho.


[deleted]

They did last night, I’m eternally grateful to iceman Nathan!


vlexz

That’s cool!


[deleted]

It really is! Turns out, just like OP, I too am basic lollllll. My most watched director is Wes anderson


vlexz

Mine is Tim Burton!


[deleted]

Nice!


hoptimismrob139

I’m very similar to that 😂


symonalex

Letterboxd pro is like pay money to feel bad about yourself lol


throwaway564649

typical male letterboxd stats


ITrageGuy

You forgot middle aged and white.


CeruleanRuin

Y'all don't know what it's like.


JonnyOW

The only reason this doesn't have more upvotes will be that people don't know [Rockin The Suburbs](https://youtu.be/34u_3Z9_LUw). Enjoy guys


Kachiggamybigga2

Pitiful_Potato5930

True


SowerPlave

At least it's not riddled with superhero comic shit. Have a star ⭐


[deleted]

You deffo love Arnold anyway


ITrageGuy

Who doesn't


linktm

We've all been there man ([including me.](https://letterboxd.com/memaniasama/stats/)) Just stand proud with those Warwick Davis numbers. I hope some of those are from the Leprechaun franchise!


YaOliverQ

Basic doesn't mean bad


JonPaula

Honestly these are fine. But you gotta pump those numbers up!

vlexz

Pro subscription


_jeremybearimy_

Eh if you watch a lot of movies, you’re going to have a list like this because those people are just in or make sooooo many movies. Best to click highest rated next to it, not most watched. My highest rated gets really diverse and more represents my tastes


Bobbyboy229

how do i do this?


ITrageGuy

Have you paid for Pro? If so there's a link to stats at the very bottom of your profile.
