This is 61 films! I also plan to see Clockwork Orange on Ch*nnel 4 tonight, and Red Dragon on Monday.
the list includes 7 animated films, 9 films set either in the future or 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away', 3 films set during World War II and 14 films set implicitly before the 20th century. 19 of the films are comedies, and 11 are British. Based on the actors in these films, my favourite actor is Ewan MacGregor, followed by Rowan Atkinson, Samuel L. Jackson, Will Smith, Jeremy Northam, Anthony Hopkins, Matt Damon (bleugh) and Kenny Baker (R2D2). I have seen no single female actor in more than two films.
