There were no women on the list!:confused

Make that +2.

Some of my favorite movies have him in it.
The 5th Element
The Professional
The Dark Knight Trilogy
Hannibal
Lost in Space..........(well i liked the TV show but he DID do well in the movie)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Bram Stokers Dracula
JFK

The list goes on but I happen to own each of the above cept Lost in Space.
What's this? He's going to be in the new Robocop too? I'm in.
