As long as it has Executive Decision on it, it has my seal.of approval.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah see where that film falls down is it doesn't have Steven seagal in it long enough....
----------------------------------------------------------------------

See this is precisely why it should be on there. No film in the history of cinema (well since Psycho anyway) has the lead killed off unexpectedly. And it's Steven fckin Seagal. It sent shockwaves round the film-going world.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and then you get left with Kurt Russell.....nuff said
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He was no Big Trouble in Little China I'll give you that.

But seeing as we're talking about the demise of Steven fckin Seagal, it makes little difference.

actually, Goodfellas was the 98th or 99th

1910s 1
1920s 3
1930s 8
1940s 7
1950s 12
1960s 10 (7 in the last 3 years of the decade)
1970s 20
1980s 17
1990s 8
2000s 5
2010s 9
2020s 0

bellcurve

1967-1986 has 40 of the 100.
That's the sweetspot for US cinema.

1927-1946 14
1947-1966 17
1967-1986 40
1987-2006 14
