After starting his career in 1925 as a film extra and stuntman , Cooper made his official cinematic debut in 1926 in the Samuel Goldwyn production The Winning of Barbara Worth . He went on to become a contract player with Paramount Pictures where he established himself as a popular leading man prior to the end of the silent film era .   Cooper 's future in the sound era was assured with the release of The Virginian ( 1929 ) , his first all-talkie film . For the next 32 years , he would be one of cinema 's top money-making stars . From 1936 to 1957 , Cooper ranked 18 times among the top ten box office attractions -- a record when he died in 1961 , and later surpassed only by John Wayne , who ranked among the top ten 25 times , Clint Eastwood ( 21 times ) and Tom Cruise ( 20 times ) .   Cooper was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award five times and won twice , for Sergeant York ( 1942 ) and High Noon ( 1952 ) .

As of February 2008 , more than half of Gary Cooper 's feature films are available on DVD , while others not yet on home video are available for television broadcast .

One of Cooper 's earliest talkies , Paramount on Parade ( 1930 ) , survives incomplete . The prints that are available for television are missing all but one of the film 's Technicolor scenes -- a partial restoration of these scenes was done by the UCLA Film Archives .   This filmography contains sections for Cooper 's work as an extra in the earliest part of his film career , his feature film appearances , his occasional appearances in short films , and a section for a compilation film . Due to its length ( 92 films ) , the listing of his feature films is divided in four sections . Cooper 's film roles are listed , as well as the names of each film 's director and co-stars . Cooper 's awards and nominations are also listed . Except where noted , all of his films were shot in 35mm black and white .

They formed when the members of the band were still in high school . The band rehearsed every day , often rushing home to write music after classes . John McCarthy penned the personal songs while drummer Rick McIver wrote the gore lyrics . John Alexander helped write most of the songs . `` Our whole concept was that we honestly did n't give a fuck . That 's why we 're lumped in with punk rock as well as metal , '' McCarthy said , adding : `` It 's much better to piss off people who think they 're pissed off than to piss off your grandma or your mother or your father . ''   Post Mortem 's debut album , Coroner 's Office , was released in 1986 . Coroner 's Office continues to find new listeners and is now as remembered for its unusual styling and flirtation with jazz and punk . The album proved very influential , as it brought musical experimentation common in metal among bands like Cephalic Carnage and The Dillinger Escape Plan .

Contrary to popular belief , Post Mortem were not named after the Slayer song , which was released in 1986 . Post Mortem helped pioneer the underground subgenre of death metal .   Many metal bands have acknowledged the influence of Post Mortem , like Cianide , Grief ( who covered the entire Coroner 's Office album ) , Disharmonic Orchestra , who covered '' ( It 's Just ) A Thought '' , and Anal Cunt ( who covered Post Mortem 's `` 1066 '' ) .
