Also, even if he wanted such a limit, he should have refrained from announcing it until the tenth one was in the can. Now expectations can't help but be sky high.
For a final statement film, it did seem a pretty underwhelming topic.
A lot of the so-called people in that list are not individuals but organizations that no normal person likes. The KKK? Come on. Be real.
A lot of trouble for not much gain. The general staff did draw up a plan to do it though: Operation Green/Operation Tannenbaum.
Awful. All the characters are odious. Only the music is any good, but you can find that elsewhere. I can see why the actors wanted to make a movie in which they could chew up the scenery, but the result is not worth it.
The latter
I think most historians agree that Chamberlain was not being disingenuous. He really believed in what he was saying. But what people do not realize is that following the disaster of World War I, people had been searching for a different way to conduct international affairs in order to avoid a repeat. This kind of accommodation strategy was not limited to Chamberlain in the UK, but had been a tenet of his party and even more generally for years. He was just the first one to really try putting it into practice.
But the real problems went back a lot further. Since 1919 the UK had botched the peace. They imposed heavy reparations and let the Germans get away with trying to pay it not by taxes, but by raising interest rates which just created the runaway inflation disaster that gave extremists like Hitler the ability to gain power. They should have foreseen all this or at least put a stop to it. They also messed up by not standing with France to stop Hitler from retaking the Rheinland, when Germany was extremely weak and only bluffing. But they stood by and and nothing.
For more on this see <i>On the Origins of War and the Preservation of Peace</i> by Donald Kagan.
Hmm, there was some of that, but it wasn't <b>that</b> bad... watched on Netflix.
Then you might want to check out this movie. In this one he's not too bad.
She's pretty old though, and a public figure. See how long your list is by the time you reach her age.
Sheldon would only care about the ones awarded for physics.
Do you have any movies about Errol to add to this list?

Also here's a list of obscure, but good films from the Golden Age:

It's really difficult to say. You'd need to assemble a list of the leading sex symbols of mid-60s to mid-70s, ranked, and see where she would fit in, in terms of looks, talent and general appeal.
Flashman is usually in a foreign part of the empire and disdaining the locals because they're not British or nobly-born.
Here's an idea: save that stuff for the spinoff.
Ethan Hawke did something along this line recently.
I guess so. Errol liked to talk up his father as a great professor and get some status from that, but really his father was not as great in the world of science as he liked to make out. But Flashman was actually of the nobility, if I recall.
Movie's not about him.
Yeah, I've read some Flashman, but couldn't really get into it. He's a bit too much the haughty noble, looking down on everyone else.
Yes, Indy is in the same kind of area too.
Yes, at some level a western can be just another kind of adventure picture. Just a different kind of costume.
Thanks. Listen, some time when you're doing errands maybe, to the music of Korngold. I think you will recognize a lot of it: https://youtu.be/3UOizXUryws
The ending is interesting in that probably the moviemakers would have gotten in trouble with the censors had they broken up an apparently happy marriage. So all they were able to do was suggest an outcome.
Yours too!
