Hollywood Film History
Who played the highest number of movie title roles in the history of Hollywood film-making?
John Wayne holds the record for the actor with the most leading parts – 142. In all but 11 films he played the leading part.
I cut and pasted that directly from IMDB.

Mary Poppins $10.63 Winner of five Oscars (including two for Richard and Robert Sherman’s memorable slate of songs), Disney’s 1964 adaptation of British author P.L. Travers’ beloved children’s tales melded live action, animation and music more successfully than any film before or since. Containing the most complete version of the Sherman Brothers’ score and a wealth of previously unavailable behind-the-scenes treas… |

The Last Samurai [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] $5.22 Whether Tom Cruise’s portrayal of a 19th century American soldier cum samurai warrior will be remembered with the same pangs of pop-cultural bemusement that befell John Wayne playing Genghis Khan remains to be seen. But its musical soundtrack does mark an auspicious occasion: pop musician-turned-composer Hans Zimmer’s 100th score since beginning his film career in 1988. A pioneer of fusing both th… |

Lewis & Clark – The Journey of the Corps of Discovery [VHS] $7.89 Another reliably well-crafted, generally engrossing documentary from Ken Burns, Lewis & Clark employs the director’s now-familiar approach to his subjects, from its elegant juxtaposition of period illustrations and portraits against newly filmed footage of historic sites to Burns’s repertory of accomplished actors to provide gravitas for quotes from the key figures. Granted the formula has become … |

Pearl Harbor (Two-Disc 60th Anniversary Commemorative Edition) $5.45 To call Pearl Harbor a throwback to old-time war movies is something of an understatement. Director Michael Bay’s epic take on the bombing that brought the United States into World War II hijacks every war movie situation and cliché (some affectionate, some stale) you’ve ever seen and gives them a shiny, glossy spin until the whole movie practically gleams. Planes glisten, water sparkles, trees b… |
