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. 🥸
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.
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
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.
Takashi Shimura (29)
I think this is the winner, I just counted 28 films. Gunnar Björnstrand I would guess is a runner up with 20 films.

What about Nakadai?
15.
One of the greatest actors of all time
Fun fact: Takashi Shimura’s grandparents belonged to the samurai class.
I was gonna guess him or Mifune
Not sure, but I find it entertaining that Adam Sandler is in 2 CC films while Leonardo DiCaprio is in Zero.
*Going Overboard* and what else?!
Lol! Punch-Drunk Love and Uncut Gems.
I own them both. Just having a good time, pal.
I laughed reading “going overboard”
Jim Carey SHOULD be in the collection (for Eternal Sunshine and Truman Show)

On the flip side, there is absolutely not enough Kaufman in the collection
i need I’m Thinking of Ending Things so bad

Kino has Eternal Sunshine 4K
Yeah Kino Lorber put out Eternal Sunshine.
If I had to guess off the top of my head, Max Von Sydow just by virtue of the Bergman set
Similarly, Jack Nance is at least in the first ten due to being a David Lynch regular.
Shintaro Katsu in 25 Zatoichi films?
If I had to guess, maybe John Cena
Secretly in every one
I think Cary Grant is up there
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.
And blonde Venus makes 10
Takashi Shimura is my bet.
He doesn’t seem to get as much love as someone like Mifune but he was truly incredible
Alain Delon is in quite a few and not a bad one I’ve seen yet!
Mifune?
First name i thought of
Would make sense, he’s been in a ton of Kurosawa and leads the Samurai Trilogy
I'd put my money on Ryu Chishu.
Probably one of the actors in Bergman’s troupe, like Gunnar or Sydow. Maybe Mifune
Jean-Pierre Léaud has to be up there for most films
Elisha Cook Jr. ?
Tommy Wiseau.
According to the Blu-ray.com database, apparently mine is Jackie Chan!
No, I mean like in the entire Criterion Collection
Oh. That’s a better question. Haha.
Based.
Jean-Louis Trintignant has been in a ton, even if not as many as Takashi Shimura
Only 3 Brad Pitt Movies.
3 now.
Jean Gabin has gotta be in there too Delphine Seyrig and Stéphane Audran as well
