Please visit my letterboxd page for an actual list
The chart will be updated periodically as I watch more films. This is the 3rd version I've made, more versions will be posted whenever I run out of space or just want it to look better
The placement rules I've set for myself are as follows -
only lon chaney's characters are being considered
if he plays more than one role in a film any extraneous characters will be disregarded and only the main role will be considered* (only black mike has been ranked in outside the law, his other character is pointless and horrible and I don't want to think about him lmao)
any unknown categories will be sorted based on vibes whenever possible unless too much of the film is lost
*unsure how many this will apply to but we'll find out lol
The categories are as follows -
Poor Little Meow Meow - must be sad and pathetic, mostly likeableÂ
Bad Bastard - must be nasty, nastiness will trump any sad/pathetic traits if placed in this sectionÂ
Gets No Bitches - can have an ex partner/wife/whatever, but must currently be maidenless. dead wives do not count towards not getting bitches
Gets Bitches - this is self explanatory lmaoÂ
Unknown - films will only be placed here if there isn't enough information in the film to make a call. will probs only use this for partially lost films, complete films will be sorted based on vibes if possible
