His RIP thread got all of six posts in 2001 (granted, ILX was still very new then). I’m sure the winner can be narrowed to the two big Wilder films, although a handful of others have an outside shot. (I may vote for one of the others, which I watched for about the 20th time last night). I took the list of films from Wikipedia, and eliminated cameos, narration, shorts, and a couple of others I’d never heard of to get down to 50--hopefully, nothing is missing. When he gets mentioned on ILX now--by me, by others--the focus tends to be on his late-career histrionics. Before all that, he was sometimes brilliant.
