The A-list is the list of the most bankable movie stars in Hollywood.

The list was created by veteran entertainment journalist James Ulmer, who developed a 100-point method to quantify a star's value to a film production, in terms of getting a film financed and the cameras rolling.

Bankability is determined for films in three different budgetary levels: $5 million or less (typically independent productions); $5 to $25 million; $25 million or over (studio films). A total score of up to 300 possible points is achieved by adding up the rankings for each budgetary level.

An even smaller number of stars (fewer than fifteen) occupy the A+ list, and these are stars with a solid 300 rating. These include the likes of Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Russell Crowe and Jim Carrey. After years at the top of the A-list, Julia Roberts became the first actress on the A+ list.
