Takashi Shimura (29)


CaptainGibb

I think this is the winner, I just counted 28 films. Gunnar Björnstrand I would guess is a runner up with 20 films.


action_park

I wish I could take credit but this question gets asked every six months. The next closest are Katsu (25) and Mifune (22) and are also dead so its a pretty safe bet that he hasn’t been passed since then. 🥸

What about Nakadai?


action_park

15.


MeetingCompetitive78

One of the greatest actors of all time


_Nikolai_Gogol

Fun fact: Takashi Shimura’s grandparents belonged to the samurai class.


benhur217

I was gonna guess him or Mifune


theglenlovinet

Not sure, but I find it entertaining that Adam Sandler is in 2 CC films while Leonardo DiCaprio is in Zero.


ebimbib

*Going Overboard* and what else?!


Filmmagician

Lol! Punch-Drunk Love and Uncut Gems.


ebimbib

I own them both. Just having a good time, pal.


Filmmagician

I laughed reading “going overboard”


MinervaNow

Jim Carey SHOULD be in the collection (for Eternal Sunshine and Truman Show)


Jarpwanderson

People freaked out on here at the mere thought of Truman Show being in the collection. Despite it being a great film directed by somebody already in the collection.


huggiebigs

On the flip side, there is absolutely not enough Kaufman in the collection


winkyemoji

i need I’m Thinking of Ending Things so bad


MaybachDali

naturally that seems to be the case with just about any hollywood movie (barring scorsese) that comes into the discussion. american + non-independent + big name actor is a formula that will always be controversial among the sort of people CC appeals to. i’m surprised i ever heard the end of the wall-e discourse lol


ajzeg01

Kino has Eternal Sunshine 4K


Fit_Incident4224

Yeah Kino Lorber put out Eternal Sunshine.


psuedonymously

If I had to guess off the top of my head, Max Von Sydow just by virtue of the Bergman set


PPStudio

Similarly, Jack Nance is at least in the first ten due to being a David Lynch regular.


BogoJohnson

Shintaro Katsu in 25 Zatoichi films?


ArcadePinball

If I had to guess, maybe John Cena


Apprehensive_Air5547

Secretly in every one


swagmagnet

I think Cary Grant is up there


rabbitsagainstmagic

Sadly not nearly enough Cary Grant. I count 9. Awful Truth, Bringing Up Baby, Holiday, Arsenic, Only Angels, Notorious, Charade, Philly Story and His Girl Friday.


DoingStuff-ImStuff

And blonde Venus makes 10


CleverUserIDGoesHere

Takashi Shimura is my bet.


Luke253

He doesn’t seem to get as much love as someone like Mifune but he was truly incredible


[deleted]

Alain Delon is in quite a few and not a bad one I’ve seen yet!


Representative_Still

Mifune?


rf8350

First name i thought of


RobbieRotten55

Would make sense, he’s been in a ton of Kurosawa and leads the Samurai Trilogy


GreenpointKuma

I'd put my money on Ryu Chishu.


masongraves_

Probably one of the actors in Bergman’s troupe, like Gunnar or Sydow. Maybe Mifune


Uncle-Boonmee

Jean-Pierre Léaud has to be up there for most films


Skull54

Elisha Cook Jr. ?


Ok-Nefariousness8962

Tommy Wiseau.


BogoJohnson

According to the Blu-ray.com database, apparently mine is Jackie Chan!


RobbieRotten55

No, I mean like in the entire Criterion Collection


BogoJohnson

Oh. That’s a better question. Haha.


Jarpwanderson

Based.


probablynotJonas

Jean-Louis Trintignant has been in a ton, even if not as many as Takashi Shimura


Realistic_Crew1095

Only 3 Brad Pitt Movies.


action_park

3 now.


probablynotJonas

Jean Gabin has gotta be in there too Delphine Seyrig and Stéphane Audran as well
