Naomi Watts in Mulholland Dr. or 21 Grams or The Assassination of Richard Nixon or Eastern Promises or anything. Or Juliette Binoche if you prefer someone playing herself in every role. Have you seen Damage or The English Patient or Chocolat? Juliette Binoche plays herself in every role.

I'm sorry that the Coen brothers don't direct the porn that I watch. They're hard to get ahold of, okay?

I found it odd that they were both swimmers.
That must not have been a coincidence.

You cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey-bottom biters!

Binoche is devastatingly good in 'Blue'. Like, one of the greatest, most expressive and nuanced performances of that decade. Watts was inconsistent, there were some strong moments, but her film was ridiculous and she was over-the-top in a couple of scenes.

Comparing Binoche and Watts is like comparing apples and carrots.
Two different things in my opinion.
Personally, I think Binoche has the dexterity of expressing very subtle human emotions while her performances/roles/characters, are mainly anthropocentric.
Watts goes more for blockbusters (not that it is a bad thing), and her face is far less expressive, although I usually like her movies and she was very good in Malholland Drive.

Naomi Watts !

I have a soft spot for Naomi, but I do really love Juliette in this film.

This question is so arbitrary. Its equally valid to ask "Which one do you prefer? Juliette Binoche in Blue or Rachel Weisz in The Mummy Returns".
