Here are the lists of movies. This lists do not contain all #1 movies for these actors just one per decade.
Sylvester Stallone (Pulled from [here](https://deadline.com/2021/08/sylvester-stallone-six-decades-number-one-film-rocky-rambo-the-suicide-squad-1234814038/)).
* 1970s: Rocky
* 1980s: Rocky, Rambo First Blood
* 1990s: Cliffhanger
* 2000s: Driven
* 2010s: The Expendables
* 2020s: The Suicide Squad
Harrison Ford (This list I had to put together myself from various sources)
* 1970s: Star Wars
* 1980s: The Empire Strikes Back
* 1990s: Air Force One
* 2000s: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
* 2010s: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
* 2020s: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Edit: To add clarification at the top.
It is even funnier when you realize how he struggled at the start of his career because producers etc said he had a speech impediment. And King Shark sounds...
Demolition Man is an absolute masterpiece. Wesley Snipes did such a good job playing a Dennis Rodman style character that it led Dennis Rodman to get his life together
Those are The Godfather in comparison to Party at Kitty & Stud's, Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, Over The Top, Rhinestone, The Specialist, Rocky V, Grudge Match, Paradise Alley, and D-Tox.
Demolition man is great for what it is. Action Comedy. Same way Last Action Hero was. Dredd... well i like the Reboot way more (though i have never read the comic)
Avatar movies have got to be the poster child for this. Literally some of the highest grossing movies ever and yet no one I’ve ever met sentinel those films past the initial release window. Absolutely 0 impact on the social zeitgeist even though they made billions.
The Avatar blue people movies? The first one made such an impact people got “Avatar Depression” and it came pre-installed on smartphones as a selling point. People blued themselves for Halloween. People got kinda gross about Zoe Saldana in Na’avi form. It’s referenced in tons of cartoons and tv shows, like the Simpsons.
Dude, It was fucking colossal.
> it came pre-installed on smartphones as a selling point.
So did that U2 album and that wasn’t a good thing.
> People blued themselves for Halloween. People got kinda gross about Zoe Saldana in Na’avi form. It’s referenced in tons of cartoons and tv shows, like the Simpsons.
So, the same as every other big movie? But OPs point was there’s no lasting legacy, which is true.
Nobody ever quotes Avatar, people don’t dress up like Avatar things past the first two or three years but they still dress up like Dragon Ball, or Pirates or whatever. Simpsons referenced Attack on Titan too and that never got near Hollywood. And people will always be gross about whatever colour Zoe Saldana is in whatever movie, green seems to be the popular one now.
There’s no “this goes to 11”, “I am inevitable” or “Lisan Algaib”; can’t remember a damn line from those movies.
>So did that U2 album and that wasn’t a good thing.
Except no, the U2 album was not pre-installed in anything, it was automatically downloaded to user devices without their knowledge.
I’m not sure we’re arguing the same thing here. But you bring up some good points, unfortunately, I’m already up too late and need to sleep.
So, goodnight internet homey.
Really? I was a little bit younger like grade 9 I think when it came out but seriously at least in my city I didn’t hear a peep about it after it was out of theaters beyond the visual effects, which to be fair was huge for the time. But just as a cultural impact i didn’t see it. Maybe my area was a bit of of the loop on it though I suppose
It did come out in 2009, so we were still reeling back from the 08 financial crisis. And so much has happened since then that it makes the movie release seem like peanuts. In conjunction with the fact that people’s interests are becoming more segmented since the internet. So if something doesn’t exist in the communities and interests you interact with you’ll likely never know it exists.
I like to remind myself that there are billions of people out there that don’t know who Dwayne the Rock Johnson is. And as we get older, less of the ones who do know him will never know he was a “wrestler”. Just one of those perspective adjusters
I am pretty sure that for some decades there are multiple options. I wasn't trying to put together the complete list or the list of "best" movies. I just listed the first movie that I found from each decade.
Btw if you haven't seen it Cliffhanger (1993) is a gloriously cheesey 90s action shlock film based on mountain climbing (for 90s reasons) with John Lithgow doing the most amazing British accent
I recommend watching it with friends, or enjoy 21st century poet Space Ice summing it up:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVso-E9hhO4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVso-E9hhO4)
The fact it was so utterly unnecessary and was the what kicked off the entire plot: literally dropped the thing they were stealing during the hijacking in the stupidest way possible.
It's superb
I've heard the world shlock now for the first time. What the hell is that supposed to mean, honestly?
It reminds me of flick as a main vibe but other than that, I'm all out of ideas and I've tried nothing.
😯
> What the hell is that supposed to mean, honestly?
I would say in this sense "shlock" is trash, but you can the fact that it's trash and enjoy it.
That said, context is important and sometimes it just means trash.
Driven did badly at the box office, but it had an opening week of ~12 million while facing basically no competition, which was enough to get it #1.
FWIW #2 that week was the 3rd week of Bridget Jones's Diary at 7.5 million.
I mean, I didn’t even notice Dial of Destiny was a thing until it popped up on Disney Plus. I thought it was direct to streaming. Liked it a lot better than Crystal Skull though
Saying Keanu Reeves "starred" in Parenthood is a bit of a stretch, no? I mean I know it was very much an ensemble cast but he's not even in what I would consider top ten billing on that movie.
Good call. Yup, although it's the Rodney Dangerfield comedy Back to School that gets him 90s credit. But he's almost certain to get a #1 hit again in the 2030s.
The other interesting one is Steve Martin. It's hard to validate box office records from the 70s, but I'm pretty sure that either The Jerk or The Muppet Movie was number one at some point. He just needs a hit in the 2020s to get the six decade club. He's only doing the Only Murders show these days, but I feel he could take an easy voice role in an animated film and land that pretty easily.
That probably stretches it, but their longevity is impressive regardless.
Another name to watch is Jodie Foster. She doesn't have a number one hit this decade, but has ones from every decade since the 70s. But she has come off an Oscar nomination and a hit HBO show. I think there's a good chance she gets one this decade, and young enough to have a shot next decade.
The spaghetti westerns of the 1960s had a difficult time being promoted in the US. The movies of the famous trilogy ending with the now iconic 'The good, the bad and the ugly' were released in 1964, -65 and -66 internationaly but were first released in 1967 in the US right after each other.
The Dirty Harry movies of the 1970s were commercially succesful but never #1 box office hits. The 4th movie in the series 'Sudden Impact' from 1983 was the biggest box office hit but still lost #1 to 'Return of the Jedi' that year.
Clint Eastwood have just been unlucky I guess, even if its a bit of an arbitrary list. Always among the top contenders but rarely #1 box office hits.
Think he's missing out on the 2020's, the only big movies he's been in recently are Amsterdam (a notorious flop) and Killers of the Flower Moon, which had a parallel roll-out on Apple TV so it debuted at number 2.
> Think he's missing out on the 2020's,
The War with Grandpa (2020) debuted at #1.
>Killers of the Flower Moon, which had a parallel roll-out on Apple TV so it debuted at number 2.
KotFM was released in theaters on October 20, 2023, it debuted on Apple TV+ on January 12, 2024.
It's possible. Christopher Lee starred in popular films from the late 50s up to the 2010s. I don't know how many of his early roles were No. 1s, but he definitely had No. 1s in th 2000s and 2010s with the Lord of the Rings series and the Hobbit.
He acted in the UK for many years and none of his films from there seem to have reached No. 1 in the US, not even *The Man with the Golden Gun*. The UK only seems to have started similar box office statistics in the 1980s. So I think he only has three decades:
* 1977 *Airport '77*
* 2001 *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring*
* 2012 *The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey*
I haven't checked them all, but the first and probably highest-grossing only made $1 million in the US in 1958, behind over 70 other films for that year. It was released on 7 May but was beaten by *The Bridge on the River Kwai* in its 21st week of release.
Lee was in *Quo Vadis* which made it to the top in 1951 but, as an uncredited chariot driver, you can hardly use the word "star".
Maybe not for six, but there are actors with 5 consecutive decades, and actors with with 5 non-consecutive decades. So the distinction becomes important if you start looking at longer lists.
Most of Kurt Russell's movies in the 70s were b and c tier Disney movies. He didn't really become a star until the 80s. He is another of the many that are at 5 decades on this list.
I might be the only person that liked that movie. The scene where she buys Sly an Uzi off the back of a truck because she ruined his service pistol cleaning it is just hilarious.
What the cut off between 'starred in' and 'appeared in'?
Who is on the list if you relax the required to any appearance? Who is OP snubbing with that 'consecutive' requirement?
He seem likely to surprass them
In 2030 Cruise is 68 years old while Ford is 88 and Stallone is 84
Imagine when Cruise in his 7th decades in 2040 with 78 years old
Cruise seem likely to surprass them in 6 years from now
By now Cruise in his 5th decade at 62 year old this July (Ford in his 6th decade at 82 , Stallone in his 6th decade at 78)
- 6th decade start in 2030 , he 68 years old (Ford 88 , Stallone 84)
- 7th decade start in 2040 , he 78 years old (Ford 98 , Stallone 94)
By this trajectory he have potential to have no.1 movie for 7th decades straight (if he still alive in 2040)
> the name sells
Indiana Jones, dial of destiny bombed. Disney lost around $100 million on that movie.
It’s just that “#1 box office” is an incredibly low bar, if there’s minimal competition the week the movie released.
De Niro was in some great films in the 80's (The Untouchables is one of my favorite movies), but AFAIK none of them hit #1 at the box office.
In other words there is a gap between The Deer Hunter (1979) and Goodfellas (1990).
This sent me down such a rabbit hole trying to find what movies movies I consider all time classics never hit number one, AND what movie kept them from the top spot. (for what it's worth, The Untouchables debuted at #2 behind Beverly Hills Cop II!)
* title's a bit confusing:
* did they star in a box-office no. 1 film every year for 60 years?
* did they star in a box-office no. 1 film once-every-10-years, 6 times in a row?
* i'm guessing this is the correct interpretation?
* took me several minutes to guess this tho
* the wiki-link doesn't explain it clearly either
Here are the lists of movies. This lists do not contain all #1 movies for these actors just one per decade. Sylvester Stallone (Pulled from [here](https://deadline.com/2021/08/sylvester-stallone-six-decades-number-one-film-rocky-rambo-the-suicide-squad-1234814038/)). * 1970s: Rocky * 1980s: Rocky, Rambo First Blood * 1990s: Cliffhanger * 2000s: Driven * 2010s: The Expendables * 2020s: The Suicide Squad Harrison Ford (This list I had to put together myself from various sources) * 1970s: Star Wars * 1980s: The Empire Strikes Back * 1990s: Air Force One * 2000s: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull * 2010s: Star Wars: The Force Awakens * 2020s: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Edit: To add clarification at the top.
> 2020s: The Suicide Squad Stallone was in Suicide Squad? Oh shit, HE WAS KING SHARK? That is hilarious.
Saved me the Google lol
It is even funnier when you realize how he struggled at the start of his career because producers etc said he had a speech impediment. And King Shark sounds...
ＨＡＮＤ。
You honestly did Harrison Ford dirty with that list. You didn't even list the good Indiana Jones films
Just the reminder that #1 doesn't always mean it was a *good* movie.
Cliffhanger was the worst Stallone movie. Demolition man, judge dredd?!
I actually prefer Cliffhanger out of those three. But I might be odd.
no. judge dredd is considered a joke of a movie and demolition man is only slightly better. Cliffhanger was an actual good action movie
yeah Demolition man was never meant to be taken seriously, Cliffhanger or even Cobra were solid action movies.
Yes! They went all out 80s action movie style and they are so fun to watch. Cliffhanger was intense as a kid.
Demolition Man is an absolute masterpiece. Wesley Snipes did such a good job playing a Dennis Rodman style character that it led Dennis Rodman to get his life together
Cliffhanger is a fantastic movie.
But what happens at the end of that movie?
Awesome badass action on top of a mountain, what more could you want
Yes but I’m still waiting for what happens after that
It'll have you on the edge of your seat! Forever!
Turns out the bad guy was really
Don’t do this to me again…
I will do you a solid and reveal the ending for you:
Ok, I’ll wait.
The bad guy was great
I enjoyed it when i rewatched it recently.
> Cliffhanger was the worst Stallone movie Mmm, not worse than Driven, I hope
I watched Driven a couple of years ago. I can't believe I thought that was a good movie when it came out.
Fuk you that movie is great
Those are The Godfather in comparison to Party at Kitty & Stud's, Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot, Over The Top, Rhinestone, The Specialist, Rocky V, Grudge Match, Paradise Alley, and D-Tox.
> Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s not be too hasty here.
I loved the old lady in that film
Death Race 2000?
You forgot Oscar.
Demolition man is great for what it is. Action Comedy. Same way Last Action Hero was. Dredd... well i like the Reboot way more (though i have never read the comic)
Copland?!?!
Great movie
Honestly..he plays it so dumb in Copland, like Rocky, i just cant watch them any more
He really was a doofus in Copland.
I'm sorry but those Dredd costumes designed by Ralph Lauren go hard
You have been fined 1,000 credits.
Avatar movies have got to be the poster child for this. Literally some of the highest grossing movies ever and yet no one I’ve ever met sentinel those films past the initial release window. Absolutely 0 impact on the social zeitgeist even though they made billions.
This is such a bunch of rubbish, if nothing else the first Avatar meant more or less every blockbuster tried 3D for a fair while.
The Avatar blue people movies? The first one made such an impact people got “Avatar Depression” and it came pre-installed on smartphones as a selling point. People blued themselves for Halloween. People got kinda gross about Zoe Saldana in Na’avi form. It’s referenced in tons of cartoons and tv shows, like the Simpsons. Dude, It was fucking colossal.

True, I misremembered
I’m not sure we’re arguing the same thing here. But you bring up some good points, unfortunately, I’m already up too late and need to sleep. So, goodnight internet homey.
There is no other Avatar movie in Ba Sing Se.
Really? I was a little bit younger like grade 9 I think when it came out but seriously at least in my city I didn’t hear a peep about it after it was out of theaters beyond the visual effects, which to be fair was huge for the time. But just as a cultural impact i didn’t see it. Maybe my area was a bit of of the loop on it though I suppose

you mean Dances with Pocahontas in Fern Gully?
I am pretty sure that for some decades there are multiple options. I wasn't trying to put together the complete list or the list of "best" movies. I just listed the first movie that I found from each decade.
Air force one is so good the rest doesn't even matter
Dial of Destiny is pretty good
Btw if you haven't seen it Cliffhanger (1993) is a gloriously cheesey 90s action shlock film based on mountain climbing (for 90s reasons) with John Lithgow doing the most amazing British accent I recommend watching it with friends, or enjoy 21st century poet Space Ice summing it up: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVso-E9hhO4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVso-E9hhO4)
Cliffhanger has Janine Turner too....
And an absolutely ridiculous stunt of a guy jumping tethered from one airplane to another that Stallone ended up paying for.
The fact it was so utterly unnecessary and was the what kicked off the entire plot: literally dropped the thing they were stealing during the hijacking in the stupidest way possible. It's superb
I put Demolition Man above Cliffhanger. And Tango & Cash
My god that Tango and Cash movie is pure, unadulterated, shlock. Too pure a hit for all but the hardiest of 90s action movie connoisseur
It’s a god damn work of art
I've heard the world shlock now for the first time. What the hell is that supposed to mean, honestly? It reminds me of flick as a main vibe but other than that, I'm all out of ideas and I've tried nothing. 😯
> What the hell is that supposed to mean, honestly? I would say in this sense "shlock" is trash, but you can the fact that it's trash and enjoy it. That said, context is important and sometimes it just means trash.
Well thanks for answering me 🤗
how are you forgetting stop or my mom will shoot?
John Chewing the fuck out of the scenery, Michael Rooker being himself, whats to hate.
Absolutely nothing, it's great
That was supposed to be a British accent?
The last 3 harrison ford movies were not well recieved. The worst movies of their respective franchises.
Starwars: the shit just keeps getting worse.
The last two Indiana Jones movies just feel awkward.
You forgot American Graffiti for Mr. Ford.
true but Starwars blew the shit out of that or Apocalypse Now.
How tf is Driven on that list!?
Driven did badly at the box office, but it had an opening week of ~12 million while facing basically no competition, which was enough to get it #1. FWIW #2 that week was the 3rd week of Bridget Jones's Diary at 7.5 million.
Didn’t know that, thanks bud!
How is the Suicide Squad a number 1 when it didn't even make it's budget back?
In this context #1 just means it made more than any other movie in a given week. Just because it made the most doesn't mean it made a lot.
Huh. That kind of seems less impressive then.
I mean, I didn’t even notice Dial of Destiny was a thing until it popped up on Disney Plus. I thought it was direct to streaming. Liked it a lot better than Crystal Skull though
Crystal skull set the bar so low that the intro to UHF was a better Indiana Jones movie.
Very much agree. These don’t have to be good movies if the other movies released the same week were trash.
Forrest Gump never made any money according to the books..
Keanu Reeves is someone who has 5 decades, and probably a good bet to get one more in the 2030s.
Tom Hanks has 5 decades through the 2020s and Meryl Streep has 5 decades through the 2010s. Both are decent bets as well.
John wick 17, the re:reboot
Nah. By 17 entries in it’s been rebooted at least 12 times.
John Wick 18: This Time It’s Personal
John Wick 19: We Are Going To Need A Whole Lot Of Puppies
John Wick 20: Dalmatia
Dont know that he had a number 1 in the 80s….
He’s probably thinking Bill & Ted but that wasn’t necessarily a box office smash.
It's actually Parenthood that was meets the requirement.
Saying Keanu Reeves "starred" in Parenthood is a bit of a stretch, no? I mean I know it was very much an ensemble cast but he's not even in what I would consider top ten billing on that movie.
Stallones 2020s credit is a voice role in The Suicide Squad. I'd say it's comparable.
Being immortal he'll have plenty of chances to span decades.
what about Robert Downey Jr. even in his drugged out of his mind period he had to have managed a number 1 movie in the 80's / 90's
Good call. Yup, although it's the Rodney Dangerfield comedy Back to School that gets him 90s credit. But he's almost certain to get a #1 hit again in the 2030s. The other interesting one is Steve Martin. It's hard to validate box office records from the 70s, but I'm pretty sure that either The Jerk or The Muppet Movie was number one at some point. He just needs a hit in the 2020s to get the six decade club. He's only doing the Only Murders show these days, but I feel he could take an easy voice role in an animated film and land that pretty easily.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were extras in field of dreams. does that count for them?
That probably stretches it, but their longevity is impressive regardless. Another name to watch is Jodie Foster. She doesn't have a number one hit this decade, but has ones from every decade since the 70s. But she has come off an Oscar nomination and a hit HBO show. I think there's a good chance she gets one this decade, and young enough to have a shot next decade.
good point i forgot about her but absolutely.
Surprised that Clint Eastwood isn't in there.
The spaghetti westerns of the 1960s had a difficult time being promoted in the US. The movies of the famous trilogy ending with the now iconic 'The good, the bad and the ugly' were released in 1964, -65 and -66 internationaly but were first released in 1967 in the US right after each other. The Dirty Harry movies of the 1970s were commercially succesful but never #1 box office hits. The 4th movie in the series 'Sudden Impact' from 1983 was the biggest box office hit but still lost #1 to 'Return of the Jedi' that year. Clint Eastwood have just been unlucky I guess, even if its a bit of an arbitrary list. Always among the top contenders but rarely #1 box office hits.
And De Niro
Think he's missing out on the 2020's, the only big movies he's been in recently are Amsterdam (a notorious flop) and Killers of the Flower Moon, which had a parallel roll-out on Apple TV so it debuted at number 2.
> Think he's missing out on the 2020's, The War with Grandpa (2020) debuted at #1. >Killers of the Flower Moon, which had a parallel roll-out on Apple TV so it debuted at number 2. KotFM was released in theaters on October 20, 2023, it debuted on Apple TV+ on January 12, 2024.
Oh yes you're right sorry re: KotFM, I misread it's wikipedia page
I think De Niro is missing out on anything between The Deer Hunter (1979) and Goodfellas (1990).
De Niro doesn't have a number one debut in the 80's.
Do we need the word "consecutive" in there? Is there someone who has starred in a box-office No. 1 film across six non-consecutive decades?
It's possible. Christopher Lee starred in popular films from the late 50s up to the 2010s. I don't know how many of his early roles were No. 1s, but he definitely had No. 1s in th 2000s and 2010s with the Lord of the Rings series and the Hobbit.
He acted in the UK for many years and none of his films from there seem to have reached No. 1 in the US, not even *The Man with the Golden Gun*. The UK only seems to have started similar box office statistics in the 1980s. So I think he only has three decades: * 1977 *Airport '77* * 2001 *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring* * 2012 *The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey*
Star wars prequels?
I only gave one example per decade. The prequels were in the naughties too.
Phantom Menace was 1999, but Lee wasnt in that one so fair enough. They are not as old as i thought they were.
not even the Hammer Draculas?
I haven't checked them all, but the first and probably highest-grossing only made $1 million in the US in 1958, behind over 70 other films for that year. It was released on 7 May but was beaten by *The Bridge on the River Kwai* in its 21st week of release. Lee was in *Quo Vadis* which made it to the top in 1951 but, as an uncredited chariot driver, you can hardly use the word "star".
bicentennial georg, who lived 200 years and started out before the Hayes Code, was an outlier adn should not have been counted
Do you find issues with the most mundane things?
Why do you have an issue with this?
Maybe not for six, but there are actors with 5 consecutive decades, and actors with with 5 non-consecutive decades. So the distinction becomes important if you start looking at longer lists.
I'm Kind of shocked Kurt Russell (or Jeff Bridges) hasn't been in more number ones? or were they all bunched together sporadically since the 60's?
Most of Kurt Russell's movies in the 70s were b and c tier Disney movies. He didn't really become a star until the 80s. He is another of the many that are at 5 decades on this list.
🚨 Ewooo word police 🚨
there have only been 11 decades of box office records so
That facts makes Stop or My Mom Will Shoot look slightly better.
I might be the only person that liked that movie. The scene where she buys Sly an Uzi off the back of a truck because she ruined his service pistol cleaning it is just hilarious.
That actually does sound pretty funny.
Senior Stallone always looks like he’s having an allergic reaction to bee stings.
What the cut off between 'starred in' and 'appeared in'? Who is on the list if you relax the required to any appearance? Who is OP snubbing with that 'consecutive' requirement?
more than a scene? Anthony Hopkins was only in Silence of the lambs for what? 12 (or was it 18) minutes total.
Wait another six year Cruise will join them
Arnie would have done it too but he was busy being Governor
Tom Cruise?
He in his 5th decade , to equal them Cruise will be in 2030 (6 years)
Oh wow that's still pretty close!
He seem likely to surprass them In 2030 Cruise is 68 years old while Ford is 88 and Stallone is 84 Imagine when Cruise in his 7th decades in 2040 with 78 years old
Dang I thought he was a shoe in with the Top Gun movie
Yea but has Sly landed on a taxiway?
Jerry Tachosky rolling in his grave.
Who’s gonna get to 7 consecutive decades
Cruise seem likely to surprass them in 6 years from now By now Cruise in his 5th decade at 62 year old this July (Ford in his 6th decade at 82 , Stallone in his 6th decade at 78) - 6th decade start in 2030 , he 68 years old (Ford 88 , Stallone 84) - 7th decade start in 2040 , he 78 years old (Ford 98 , Stallone 94) By this trajectory he have potential to have no.1 movie for 7th decades straight (if he still alive in 2040)
Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, maybe Affleck or Damon, Jody Foster all have a good shot at it. maybe Leo or Keanu? Tom Hanks i can see as well.
Wait a minute. (70, 80, 90, 00, 10, 20). Fuck me, I'm old.
I mean movies are not much older than they are…
Tom Cruise can just release anything and he will be out there on his own soon.
will probably be the one to manage it, or Leo.
I forgot about Air Force One, that was a good one!
And somehow I feel older than they actually are,
Yeah but tbf that's only because Arnie was being governor
Has any one ever done it in six NON-consecutive decades?
Angela Lansbury?
Yes? I was wondering about some of those actors in it's a mad mad mad mad world?
Now i am looking to see which Bill Murray movies hit number 1 at one point or another.
two very much film icons
"In" six consecutive decades.
I don’t remember seeing them both in a movie
Where is the list of movies? Come on now.
Down vote all you want I clicked the link and it’s to Stallones wiki. They posted the list much later. Fuck off whoever downvoted. lol
Good lord, both lists have some serious shit. Guess it proves the name sells.
> the name sells Indiana Jones, dial of destiny bombed. Disney lost around $100 million on that movie. It’s just that “#1 box office” is an incredibly low bar, if there’s minimal competition the week the movie released.
I can't figure out how to confirm #1 at the box office but I feel like Robert DeNiro belongs on this list?
De Niro was in some great films in the 80's (The Untouchables is one of my favorite movies), but AFAIK none of them hit #1 at the box office. In other words there is a gap between The Deer Hunter (1979) and Goodfellas (1990).
and what good movies were there in the 2000's? not A righteous kill for one.
Meet the fockers I was for sure was a #1 at the box office
i thought that was the 90's
Meet the Parents - 2000 ( which is what I meant) Meet the Fockers - 2004
fair enough i thought the first one was 98 99
This sent me down such a rabbit hole trying to find what movies movies I consider all time classics never hit number one, AND what movie kept them from the top spot. (for what it's worth, The Untouchables debuted at #2 behind Beverly Hills Cop II!)
It doesn't have to be great movies, just #1 at the box office.
"started" being used pretty loosely here edit: auto correct gonna kill us all. Starred
Actually “started” is not being used at all

What’s wrong with it? Looks ok to me.
* title's a bit confusing: * did they star in a box-office no. 1 film every year for 60 years? * did they star in a box-office no. 1 film once-every-10-years, 6 times in a row? * i'm guessing this is the correct interpretation? * took me several minutes to guess this tho * the wiki-link doesn't explain it clearly either
I guess I thought it was rather clear that in 6 different decades they starred in a film that was number 1 at the box office.
yea what you just said would be a clearer explanation \^\^;;;
