Kieran Shea said...: The International?; 9:30 AM

Charles Gramlich said...: I didn't realize she was in all those. I thought she mostly acted in horror movies.; 10:14 AM
pattinase (abbott) said...: She does that too. The only one I have seen is THE RING. No a horror movie fan.; 10:17 AM
le0pard13 said...: I second THE INTERNATIONAL and would add EASTERN PROMISES.; 10:22 AM
pattinase (abbott) said...: Eastern Promises is the last one on there.; 10:35 AM

As I said it is probably my problem.

Thomas Pluck said...: The Funny Games remake was pretty damn good.
Though of course, it is scarier in German.
She is a fine actress.; 2:38 PM
Ron Scheer said...: I beg to differ. I was totally tickled by MULHOLLAND DRIVE.; 1:22 AM
Anonymous said...: She became an internationally acclaimed actress because of "Mulholland Drive". "I Heart Huckabee's" was directed by David O'Russell whose name is now everywhere with his new film "SLP". Naomi Watts was the best thing in Huckabee's. Add "Mother and Child", "King Kong", "Fair Game" and "Funny Game". Even "Ellie Parker", "The ring" and "The Ring 2" are greatvbecause of her presence.; 7:17 AM
Todd Mason said...: I would certainly add FLIRTING, which was also an early milestone for Thandie Newton and Nicole Kidman...I was not about to see the remake of FUNNY GAMES, since the original was such a self-satisfied insult to anyone who likes crime drama or fiction.

M DRIVE might the closest to linear any of the Lynch films I've seen has been, aside from DUNE...haven't seen THE STRAIGHT STORY yet.; 9:01 PM

Erik Donald France said...: She's quite convincing as a loathsome, avaracious but also yearningly estranged wife in Woody Allen's You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.; 11:47 AM
Ron Earl Phillips said...: Gee, her best role was as Jetgirl in the live action Tankgirl movie. ;); 2:22 PM
pattinase (abbott) said...: She was good in the WA movie. But I missed Tank Girl.; 3:04 PM
