M- Top Ten Movie Stars

Blogging from A-Z

I love to go to the movie theater.  We go through stretches where it seems we go every week or times like now where we are lucky to get there once a month.  These are the actors and actresses that make me more likely to pay money for a ticket and popcorn.

  1. Keanu Reeves – I’ve watched 32 of Keanu’s movies. It started with Bill & Ted, Point Break and Speed and continued with The Matrix movies, Something’s Gotta Give, The Lake House and the John Wick films.
  2. Viggo Mortensen – I took notice of him first in GI Jane, but my heart didn’t flutter until his turn as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings movies.  A Walk on the Moon is another fave, but I’ll watch him in anything.  I’ve seen him in 17 movies.
  3. Leonardo DiCaprio – I first saw Leo in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape in 1993 where he was first nominated for an Oscar and I’ve gone on to see 19 of his films.  I love his movie choices.
  4. Tom Cruise – Love him or hate him his movies are usually good. I’ve seen him in 30 films starting with Top Gun in 1986.
  5. Ben Stiller – Over the years I’ve seen 28 of Ben’s movies, the first in 1994 with Reality Bites.  I’ve got 3 of his movies in my top 25 so I guess he belongs on the list 🙂
  6. Sandra Bullock – I saw her first in Speed in 1994 but It was a year later with While You Were Sleeping that made me a big fan.  25 movies and counting.
  7. Julia Roberts – It started with Pretty Woman and last year she did it again with Wonder.  I’ve seen 25 of her movies.
  8. Rachel McAdams – I’ve seen 15 of her movies and always like her, even when she’s mean 🙂
  9. Kate Winslet – I remember her from Sense and Sensibilty, pre-Titanic fame and love her choices.  Somehow I’ve only seen 10 of her movies though and not her latest.
  10. Melissa McCarthy – She’ll always be Sookie first but I’ve seen her in 11 movies.

So, who are some actors you like to see at the movies?
