Im-pressive chum! Do you jot down repeats? So like every time you watch a movie (even if you watched it last week) you write it down? PLEASE update us if you ever count them all, I'd love to know how many movies a film buff watches each year! Oy vey, it's giving me a headache just thinking about it lol if you put it into an excel spreadsheet it'd be interesting to see which actor / actress you've watched most too! Hmm that'd be awesome - and time consuming lol
Well done pally!

I used to try and keep a list in excell, but needless to say that didn't last too long-- I'm much too lazy to type in all that info. However, I have been keeping track on IMDb. If you make an account on their site, you can add movies to your list. I think the list is supposed to be about movies you actually own, but oh well. After I watch a movie, I go on IMDb to learn a bit about it, and then I just click the little 'add me to 'my movies'' button thats on each film's page. Makes keeping track a lot easier.
Anyway, back to the thread... Kate is definitely my favorite actress of all time, and has been for some time now. When I first became a fan of classic film some years ago, my favorite actors and actresses would change every week! I would become obsessed with one actor, then watch as many of their films as I could and read as much as I could about them. Then the next week I would find someone else I thought I liked better. It it certainly helped me watch a substantial number of films and learn a lot about the industry. But finally about two years ago I watched The Philadelphia Story and I was hooked on Kate. I haven't had a different favorite actress since!
Other honorable mentions would be Greta Garbo (probably the closest runner up to Kate-- I was quite obsessed with her for a while...), Betty Bacall, Ingrid Bergman, and Ginger Rogers. And maybe Audrey Hepburn. As for actors, I love Fred Astaire, Charlie Chaplin, Bogie, Jimmy Stewart, and Buster Keaton.

Impressive that you keep a list. I try to keep track of the good ones and leave the bad movies out. It's good to forget ever seeing All About Steve.
Kate is my favourite by miles! She's the only one I would watch in any movie, no matter how wretched. Somehow she always seems to stick out, in a good way. And of course, her life is inspiring too.
As for the others:
Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall, Spensah, Cary Grant, Bogie, Cate Blanchett, Woody Harrelson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz...the list goes on.

If we're talking just about actresses there are some I really admire because they're simply great but Kate and Judy Garland are on top. <3

She is my number one, but I really, really love Grace Kelly also. She's very close to Kate on my list.

I've really only got two favorites lately--ones that I could never imagine going without...if I don't sound like a total creep by saying that... Kate, obviously And Judy Garland If it weren't for Judy I can honestly say that I never would have found Kate, only because I wouldn't have cared enough to look her up. I would be too busy with other worldly, teenager things to care about AFI's #1 actress of all time. Oh well, life is funny like that. I love Kate and Judy..(hence my sig) and that is the end of the story Though, I can't really make a case for any of these other actresses, ie Bette Davis, Lauren Bacall. I haven't seen any of their stuff yet. Though maybe I will, with the way everybody's talking. Cool beans  |
