It is natural for popular rankings to be higher due to the influx of art house, international and straight to video releases. Popular rankings are taken from IMDB and are fluid. Most box office rankings are taken from The Numbers website (domestic)

I'm surprised how many of those films I've never heard of. She was probably the biggest star in the world when I was a kid but from the mid 60s onwards I've only seen two of her films and those long ago.

[–] Redsfan001 (6053) 2 years ago

Same here, I did watch Night Watch (73) a few months back (good ending!)

She has what I think, is one of the most stunning pictures on movie chat.

[–] huwdj (4563) 2 years ago

Not one I've seen - I'll add it to my list.

[–] Redsfan001 (6053) 2 years ago

Sorry.. my second sentence was about her moviechat photo, not Night Watch (about 7/10)
