Here are my obligatory 10 characters for the opening post.
Over Holly Hunter & Tom Hanks? Fair enough, as I haven't seen any of those 3 movies ;) Just wanted to show off my Oscar knowledge.
It's been said already, but without him, no Coppola, Scorsese, Cameron, and possibly no Howard (although Howard was already a succesful actor and would have still stood a good chance). For that alone...
It also essentially ties with Maverick (at least as far as I can tell) for the longest interval between a film and it's sequel, at 36 years.
Another one I forgot was Respect (Aretha Franklin). There's also one called Nina (Nina Simone), but that was unfortunately the subject of much controversy around the casting of Zoe Saldana.

What's your favorite?
The Buddy Holly Story (1978)
La Bamba (1987)
Walk the Line (2005)
Elvis (2022) (or one of the multiple made-for-TV Elvis biopics)

Once upon a time in a school in outer space,
there was a class of misfit kids from all around the place!
They snuck aboard a mystery ship!
And soon slipped into a spacial rift!

When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming like everyone in his cab.
Hopefully some Marvel updates, like release dates.
Oh yeah, duh!

Some examples include...

Abraham Lincoln fought in the American Revolution. Though you’re probably more familiar with his grandson of the same name.
While not technically a regular on either, Jeffrey Dean Morgan made waves in 2006 by appearing as Denny Duquette on season 2 of Grey's Anatomy and John Winchester in season 1 of Supernatural at the...
I sprayed spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.
This is a game that used to be on here. You have to name a hero that begins with the last letter of the last hero’s name.
I realize that this could lead into stupid partisan political fighting or...
Six Flags gets its name from the six flags that have flown over the state of Texas, having been 6 countries
1) France
2) Spain
3) Mexico
4) The Republic of Texas
5) USA
6) The Confederacy
Good catch!
Quoting this again in light of #1, because it's all the more obvious how little she has played the role in comparison to so many who have put in so many hours.
Not only is it the longest span an...
Honestly, I'm not sure where they stand with this since the death of Christopher Tolkien. JRR sold all the rights to his works, but because he never published the Silmarillion, that was up to Chris,...
I believe in America. America has made my fortune. And I raised my daughter in the American fashion. I gave her freedom, but taught her never to dishonor her pants.
Or maybe...
I gave her...
The Godfather. "I believe in America."
The Lord of the Rings' prologue.
And, of course, the massive Star Destroyer in Star Wars.
Yes, those are fantastic additions! I will go ahead and post the top ten I had beforehand, but people here have really helped expand it!

Yes, so soap opera actors have put in more hours than anyone, and that could be its own list. But there's also something really fascinating about someone coming back to a role after decades and...
