Don't forget, Hannibal.
shareNice list and mine would be pretty much the same... Only movie I haven’t seen is Safe, never even heard about it untill now. But seeing it’s main character is Julienne and it is directed by Todd Haynes I am sure I would like it.
For a minute I got worried as I clicked to look up Safe and Siri showed me some Jason Statham flick of the same title. 😂
My list would probably be Top 8 movies, as I couldn’t leave out Magnolia, Hours, Savage Grace and Still Alice. 😃
Safe is an excellent, disturbing film, certainly one of her finest performances. Don't worry, it's nothing to do with Jason Statham!
She was wonderful in Still Alice. If I made a top ten that would certainly be on there, along with her memorable work in Maps to the Stars... not sure off hand what else I'd include. Not The Hours, though - I hated that film and most of the performances, Julianne's included. Not Magnolia either, a film which I liked a lot but she (and Tom Cruise) gave the only performances in it which I didn't really appreciate.
I really need to see Savage Grace.
I thought she was excellent in The Hours. As much as I like Kidman and Streep, it was hers and Toni Collette’s performances that stood out for me.
I would say the film itself has low rewatch appeal for me. I’ve only seen in twice and can’t see myself watching it again any time soon, as good as Moore is in it.
The Hours
The Big Lebowski
Safe
Far From Heaven
A Single Man
Special mention to Hand That Rocks The Cradle. It was the first film I saw her in and I remember even then thinking she was the best thing about it.
I haven't seen her in too many films, so I'll have to go with...
The Forgotten
The Fugitive
Psycho
Carrie
The Hand that Rocks the Cradle
