Okay Don, here's my list. See if my ratings sync up with yours. I've constructed the list per IMDB's listing, and removed any television or voice-work, as well as very minor (uncredited) parts. I fully realize that voice-acting is somewhat demanding, but it's not really the same as real movie acting. Television is really about run of the mill. Early flashes of brilliance with "Mork & Mindy" and Jonathan Winters specials gave way to appearances on "Friends" and dramas.

See what you think:
