    Actresses with somethin special going on

    Posted this awhile back and got zilch, but one of my nominees has arrived. Tilda Swinton, a British actress who could be seen in Orlando and, later, in The Deep Pool, has arrived. You may have seen her as the "white witch" in The Chronicles of Nardia, etc. You can see her in the upcoming Micheal Clayton and she is in rehearsal for the next Coen Bros flick, again, with George Clooney.

    I, also, made mention of Helen Mirren not for her recent work that you all know but for her early work like The Long Good Friday; The Cook, The Thief, and The Lover; and, lest, we forget, her voluptuous display in Caligula with Malcolm McDowell.

    Come on now . . turn me on! Some other readers may share your enthusiasm for your nominees and why. Thanks.

    This all goes back to what I was saying about how people complain about flame wars and/or thread hijacking, yet those threads get the most activity, but when you actually post something you hope to use to inspire conversation and such...NADA. My lengthy post on THX-1138 took my awhile to write up and I really put effort into writing it and posting pictures...what did I get...NADA.

    This place gets a fair amount of regular activity, but it would seem that most of them would rather argue over Blu-ray than actually talk about interesting stuff.

    Lauren Bacall (To have and Have Not)
    Kate Hepburn (Bringing up Baby)
    Goldie Hawn (There's a Girl in My Soup)
    Jane Fonda (Barbarella)
    Ruth Gordon (Harold and Maude)
    Uma Thurman (and her adorable Kiwi stunt double that starred in "Death Proof")
    Cameron Diaz (Something About Mary)
    Scarlett Johansen (Ghost World, The Man Who Wasn't There)

    THX1138 wasn't a very good movie, that's why your thread didn't get any responses. Yeah, I saw the original long ago and also the recent re-release with the added footage and while it was a little better it was still as slow as molasses.

    Thanks, Skies. You may be the most dedicated dude here. Nah, f*** that . . you ARE the most dedicated dude here! Thanks, too, Troy, Rich, what are yu grining about.

    What have you seen Vera Farmiga in? She may be the best kept secret around.

    Back at ya, Troy, with Jane Fonda in Klute, A definitive woman's role and one of the best performances of all time. Naomi Watts in Mulholland Drive, another tour de force performance. Got any best kept secrets or mind blowing performances, anyone, fellas?

    Farmiga was in AUTUMN IN NEW YORK as a minor character....noticed her there, then again in a little known film called DUMMY (2002), which I thought was so-so with that big nosed guy from THE PIANIST (read: peanis). Then she was in (though I did not see it and NEVER EVER EVER WILL) the remake of John Frankenheimers ever-so classic THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE. She did however redeem herself to some degree though in THE DEPARTED, which is still one of my favorite movies of the past 5 years.

    A few more honorable mentions....

    CATHERINE KEENER
    FRANCIS MCDORMAND
    AMELIA WARNER
    JENA MALONE
    MARIA BELLO
    EVA MENDES
    MADELEINE STOWE
    MARION COTILLARD
    CARICE VAN HOUTEN
    HALIINA REIJN
    LENA HEADEY
    CONNIE NIELSEN
    JADA PINKETT SMITH
    ROXANE MESQUIDA
    LAURA LINNEY
    EMILIE DEQUENNE
    LUDIVINE SAGNIER
    SAMANTHA MORTON
    JULIETTE BINOCHE
    LENA OLIN

    She is mixed with her movie choices, but I did enjoy PHONE BOOTH and MAN ON FIRE.

    One actress i have always had a thing for is Diane Lane, she is a beautiful woman and a fine actress.She became known in Rumblefish and The Cotton Club around the age of 18 and is still going strong in her early 40's.In my mind still one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

    Tera Patrick

    Kam- You've stumped me, and others, I suspect, on these ladies. How about giving us some of their performances that we might get acquainted. Cool?

    Does that "something" also happen to be something that is "transmitted" easily too?
