Best filmography out of any actress or actor


Most actors and actresses only have one or two films at the most, three if you are James Dean, that will be seen forever outside of the core fanbase, that's pretty much it. Elizabeth Taylor has NINE FILMS that can be considered true works of art that changed film and that will be seen for good. To me, those are:

NATIONAL VELVET

FATHER OF THE BRIDE

A PLACE IN THE SUN

GIANT

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF

SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER

BUTTERFIELD 8

CLEOPATRA[/b]

and of course, her greatest film

[b]WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?


This to me is an unmatched record. No one has this filmography, she is the thespian Alfred Hitchcock. The interesting thing is that, Elizabeth Taylor was not career obsessed or ambitious or scheming in any way. She was offered these roles because of her certified popularity and of course, her incredible acting talent.

Most of those aren't that big of a deal. Your list shows only that you are so devoted to Taylor that you can't judge the quality of films she is in objectively.

All of this. There are some very good films on the list but I could name any number of other actors with filmographies as (or more) impressive.
