I could never understand all this love for Ms. Morton. Now I see what the problem is: I have not watched her greatest performances.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone in Brazil know if the following films were released or are available on DVD?
Jesus's son;
Pandaemonium;
Morvern Callar.
Thanks for the "must see films".
Marcelo.
ok so we have kidman, dunst, and who else?
ReplyDeletewinslet and clarkson.
ReplyDeletei say it goes 1) kidman, 2) winslet, 3) dunst, 4) clarkson. it's only kidman/winslet i'm not sure about...
Clarkson?
ReplyDelete-Scott
I do love Samantha Morton.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm starting to wonder if Nathaniel will throw us for a loop and give out Dunst next instead of Clarkson, just to shout out to all character actors everywhere.
Much like Marcelo, I have not seen Jesus' Son, Pandaemonium or Morvern Callar. I had Morvern Callar on my DVD list already though!
ReplyDeleteI think Dunst next purely on the basis that Clarkson is continuously making such great movies and is continuously excellent in them.
I still think it's Kidman for #1. As I said before she is THE actress of the naughts so far. No other actress has a resume quite like hers in these 5 years.

at the risk of heresy (it is the FILM experience, after all), i suggest reading Movern Callar before watching the movie - it's, in my opinion, one of the most successful adaptations in recent memory. just my quick 2 cents. I now return you to actress-ranking obsessions. (and I actually KNOW how the list goes from here on out. ha ha!)
