Comment with "ACTION!" and I will give you ten actors and ten actresses. Then post in your livejournal with your favorite films of theirs.



Actors:
1. Matthew Goode - I would have said The Lookout because that's the movie I really remember him being in, but his IMDb credits list A Single Man and I adored that film
2. Rupert Everett - The Comfort of Strangers
3. Tom Cruise - Top Gun, but for just a cameo performance, I'd go with Tropic Thunder
4. Clive Owen - Beyond Borders
5. Bradley Cooper - The Hangover
6. Tom Hanks - Bachelor Party or Splash
7. Geoffrey Rush - gonna have to go with Pirates of the Carribean just for entertainment value
8. Orlando Bloom - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
9. Denzel Washington - Crimson Tide ETA: I can't believe I forgot Fallen
10. Nicholas Cage - Moonstruck

Actresses:
1. Julianne Moore - I would be content watching her paint a wall, but if I had to pick my favorite The Big Lebowski and the best Far From Heaven
2. Michelle Williams - Dick
3. Sharon Stone - She was the best thing about Casino
4. Cameron Diaz - Very Bad Things - Finally a woman in a "testosterone film" that doesn't ruin everything
5. Scarlett Johansson - Lost in Translation
6. Ashley Judd - Someone Like You is the only thing I can remember seeing her in from start to finish. I do love that IMDb gives her credit for a miniscule part in Kuffs
7. Thandie Newton - Flirting
8. Rosamund Pike - Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything she's been in
9. Kate Winslet - The Holiday
10. Nicole Kidman - To Die For

A Single Man has been sitting on top of my 'to watch' list for ages. I really do have to get around and see it one of these days. Everyone I know is over the moon about it.

Julianne Moore - I would be content watching her paint a wall

Ha! Well said. I couldn't agree more. :D

A Single Man is a wonderful little film. Oddly though, the cinematic style is not kind to Julianne, but she's still very good in it.

(Now I probably won't even know half the actors/actresses you give me.)

I adore To Die For. But then, I adore Nicole in pretty much anything.

[kiddoditto.livejournal.com]

as far as i know i never saw a John Wayne, Will Ferrell, Mira Sorvino, Alfie Woodard or Jennifer Lopez movie before...

should i leave this out or do you want to give me 5 more new names?

[cmk418]

You can leave them in and just say that you never saw them in anything. People might leave you some recs (like "Jennifer Lopez was incredible in Out of Sight, you have to see it"). I realize that folks have a variety of tastes so I tried to be as broad as possible with my choices of actors and actresses. It's meant to be fun tho, so your options should you choose to take them are - Ian McKellen, Robert DeNiro, Julia Ormond, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Bette Midler.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
