That was quick and easy.

Are you doing just their performances, the movies themselves, or a combination of the two?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The movies overall quality and rating is the primary factor. Expendables 1 was difficult with Arnold, snce his part was so small, same with GOTG 2, and Stallone. If Arnold was somehow great in Junior, but the movie overall, the idea, the story and the execution, was shit, it doesn’t deserve to be high on the list.

Hoping for some magic in the ten I haven’t seen. Still I think she has done well in the two pulp series she’s been in. I can enjoy that stuff (marvel, sw, st, x-men, ya), like I do regular dramas or artsy stuff.

[VinylGuy]

yeah, really. She kinda explained that her agency kept her away from good movies and just gave her the blockbuster material for years, and it shows.

I do own Lilies Of The Field and Edge Of The City. I'm fairly certain I've seen To Sir, With Love in my youth. Still a lot more to see. Haven't been able to find A Raisin In The Sun, A Patch Of Blue, No Way Out or The Slender Thread.

[Anders]

Tried to find out what a proper top ten Sidney Poitier list would look like from someone who has seen all his movies. Used GoldDerby, BFI, IMDB, Letterboxd, various user compiled lists:

1. In The Heat Of The Night
2. A Raisin In The Sun
3. A Patch Of Blue
4. Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
5. The Defiant Ones
6. Lilies Of The Field
7. Edge Of The City
8. No Way Out
9. To Sir, With Love
10. Blackboard Jungle

Runners up: The Slender Thread, The Bedford Incident, Porgy and Bess, Paris Blues, Buck and the Preacher

Arnold ranking

The five I still haven’t seen:

Escape Plan - own this. Expect it to be fairly good. Something like Eraser/Raw Deal in quality would be good. At best something like The Last Stand

Sabotage - expecting this to be fairly low on the overall list

Maggie - expecting this to be fairly low on the overall list

Killing Gunther - expecting this to be near the bottom of the list

Iron Mask - expecting this to be near the bottom of the list

Escape Plan was decent, but a better movie for Sly than for Arnold.

Will watch the other four when going through a list of movies from their year.

Watching Sabotage now. Really disappointed on David Ayer’s behalf. Can not have turned out the way he wanted. Not the worst movie I have seen, but far below End Of Watch (or most early Arnold movies) in quality.

[VinylGuy]

I remember being so hyped with End Of Days...it was a genre movie, his comeback, Robin Tunney and GNR´s first song in years.

[Anders]

End Of Days is ok, but End Of Watch is pretty great.
