Brian Doherty's January post (which my brother pointed out to me) attributing an alleged shortage of little people to the Depp/Burton Wonka movie is falsified, given that that movie used a single 4'4" actor to play all 165 Oompa-Loompas. I doubt the Gringotts Bank scenes in the Harry Potter movies monopolized that much of the little-people-acting community.

Picking up the baton from Tyler Cowen:

That is favorite, not "best," and the years are approximate:

early - The Wizard of Oz

1977 - Star Wars

1979 - Animal Crackers

1980 - Airplane! (as my brother reminds me)

1982 - Monty Python and the Holy Grail

1986 - Brazil

1991 - Annie Hall

1993 - Trust

1994 - Pulp Fiction

1997 - Casablanca

This may not be accurate, because I may not have seen Trust until after Pulp Fiction in 1994.

I tag Daniel, John, Rondi, and Betsy, assuming she's not too famous. (It really does say something about the Post that they think a polite mainstream conservative is a "very conservative" blogger and the right-wing counter-part to a Kossack flame-thrower. But perhaps they were looking at the demographic issue.)

Update: my brother has more similar tastes than I realized. Or he was four years ahead of me, you decide.
