Recently I've been using the actor lists for stars and searching out everything I can find that they have played in.
The stars that are dead are easy, only so many to choose from.
The others is a constant search for their newest works.
For the most part, I sort the movie by the leading role but the big stars are different. Its cool to see them in their early days not being the star.
What I do is go to their IMdb page and copy their actor titles and paste it into a text document.
I delete the TV show entrys, short film entries, game entries and the voice acting entries and keep only the movies.
Then I search for those titles to add to my collection.
Right now I looking for:

This is my active search list right now.
There are some that I have completed like Brandon Lee and Bruce Lee. There are others that I still need to research like Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Kenneth Tobey and such.
I'm also on the look out for any Stephen King movies(currently have them all), James Bond movies (currently have them all).
As it sets, I have a good portion of all the popular movies by these actors and am looking to fill in the obscure ones.
Today at the flea market I found a box of mostly Mark Walberg, Malcolm McDowell and Travolta's Grease 1 with Grease 2 in the same case. I gave $10 for 36 discs. Will spend hours cleaning and converting them to electronic mp4 or flv.
Sumpthin' to do.
