Default Does anyone collect movies based on actors or actresses?

For me, I have racked up a few films just for the actors or actresses so I can say I own most of all of her films or his films.

For example:

Rooney Mara ,Scarlett Johansson, Leighton Meester, Amanda Seyfried, Saorise Ronan, Noomi Rapce, Lily Collins, Kristen Stewart, Matt Damon

Nice! I'm glad I am not the only one. Do you even buy the movie if it was terrible but because it has one of them in it?

I used to but I have since hit the brakes on so many blind buys just to see my favorite actors , but directors on the other hand.

Skog, his performance in The Runaways is one of the reasons I'm so in love with filmmaking.

I wouldn't say I collect them, in that I have to have them all, but there are several actors that will warrant a cheap blind buy.

Charlton Heston
Gene Hackman
Julia Roberts
Amy Adams
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Bryan Cranston

Won't collect, but there are some who for a number of reasons will always have me at least curious to check out their stuff:

Steve Buscemi, Hayley Atwell (will Restless ever be released in any form!?), George Clooney, Matthew McConaughey (these days), John Goodman, Brit Marling, Emma Thompson, a few others.

Conversely, there are also actors whose names are a big red flag and who might keep me out of a movie I'd otherwise be more curious about:

Nicolas Cage (recent years, with a few exceptions), Eva Mendes, and Mark Wahlberg come to mind. Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks, too, though he's showing signs of making a comeback.

I collect Jerry Lewis movies. Needless to say, Olive Films has been very good to me.

Haven't switched them to blu-ray but have all of Clint Eastwood's movies on DVD. Had a hard time finding some of them.
