  1. Hey J.D. Great choices. I loved your list. I'm a big fan of all of these amazing women. I was really thrilled to see some of them up here, such as Kelly Macdonald. I've always really liked her.

    I really dig Kelly Macdonald - have been of fan of hers since TRAINSPOTTING but TWO FAMILY HOUSE is where she really broke my heart. It's such a wonderful, little film.

    Matt:

    Regarding Jennifer Garner. Yeah, I know what you mean but I thought she was so good in 13 GOING ON 30 for what it was... I also really dug her in ALIAS and JUNO. Hopefully, in the future, she'll stay away from crap like ELEKTRA and THE KINGDOM.

  4. Nice list, glad you took up the meme.

    I'm in the Kelly MacDonald fan club too, wish I had thought of adding her to my list.

    Same with Rossellini, Dern and Vitti.

    However, it looks almost universal, everyone loves Barbara Stanwyck, the woman is a legend.

    Yeah, Kelly Macdonald is one of those actresses who kinda flies under the radar but she is fantastic. Hopefully, the success of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN will give her a few more high profile roles.

    As for Barbara Stanwyck, isn't she awesome. For me it was a toss-up between DOUBLE INDEMNITY and FORTY GUNS, a fantastic Sam Fuller western and she's so good in that one, too.
