With the flucuation of the IMDb top 250, a lot of these will be inaccurate by the time you read them; The Conversation is no longer in the top 250. But one thing won't change: All five of John Cazale's films were best picture nominees, and three of them won.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

Cazale was in three of these movies cause he was friend of Coppola (and also a decent actor). The Deer Hunter was also directed by an Italian (Cimino).

Every feature length film he was in won or was nominated for best picture. Only actor who can claim that.

This thread seems to have gone off-topic a bit. The overriding feeling being that Cazale is perhaps the only American actor to have a flawless filmography. He was an important player in all of them. A genuinely talented actor.

H. Ford was also in Apocalypse Now. So he has 8.

Dont forget
-Apocalypse Now

HARRISON FORD has 7.

• STAR WARS - # 12
• THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK - # 9
• RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK - # 19
• BLADERUNNER - # 108
• THE RETURN OF THE JEDI - # 103
• INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE - # 102
• THE CONVERSATION - # 226

He sure had a eye for good scripts!!! I just commented on DeNiros board about him!! 5 movies on the top 250, and those are the only 5 movies he acted in!
Talk about luck!!!

The discussion was about number in the Top 250, and Jackie Brown and Death Proof aren't. Although it is arguable that Jackie Brown should be.
"What difference do you think you can make, one man in all this madness?"

Jackie Brown and Death Proof
and one scene from Four Rooms (the funniest one actually)
so 8 1/4 movies, I guess?:)

What are Tarantino's six.
I only count five. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Basterds, Kill Bill and Kill Bill volume 2.
Five.

Stanley Kubrick has 9 movies as well in the top 250
Spielberg 5
Coppola 4
Scorsese 6
Tarantino 6

I guess pound for pound he would have been (or is) the greatest American actor ever.
But all joking aside John Cazale was truly a gifted actor. Great on screen, and from what I heard just as great on stage. It's a real shame he had to leave this world so soon.

Both James Stewart and Harrison Ford have 8 movies in the top 250.
But, Alfred Hitchcock beat them all with 9 movies in total.
Enjoying that are you my darlin'? Bit cold and pointless isn't it my lovely?

Not to mention the short he was in called the American Way has been given a 9.4 out of 10 rating. Although only 111 votes, thats still pretty impressive as 88 of them were 10 out of 10's and only 11 were rated under 7.. and they were all 1's.
Great actor.. sad story.. could have been one of the best of all time.
