I saw her in a lot of movies, but she's always "the best friend of" or "the one who's always envious of the leading lady". It's no fair, I know she has much more to offer than that.
It's not that I don't like her, she's gorgeous and has and incredible face but... she always does the same role! Except for Changeling her characters descriptions always starts like this: "A beautiful and sexy woman that" does something.
Except for Fargo, I didn't like any of their movies. And the fact that Brad Pitt has made this stupid role (Burn After Reading) just to work with them, really pissed me off.
Yes, I not ashamed to admitt it! I was young, and innocent and that guy could look good on a suit and at the same time give you the beating of your life!
Including me! I don't LOVE him yet, he has to work harder for that, but he's doing right. I like him in The Transporter trilogy. And I felt that Stallone kind of passing him the torch on The Expendables.
Ok, don't get me wrong. I love this guys, I think they're two of the best actors of cinema ever and that's why I was so disappointed when I saw them acting together! I thought it would be something epic and ended up being Heat and Righteous Kill. Two average action movies, not bad, but not what I was expecting.
He's not a super great actor, but when I saw them hosting the Oscars, dancing and singing, God! I loved him! And is so pretty, and good father, and he really seems to be such a nice guy!
Ok... I'll stop now...
Actor/Actress that plays the character I love the most
John McLaine
Ok, let me put this clear I LOVE THIS GUY. I love Bruce Willis, and he will fit on several of this categories (the good ones, right?) But I have to put him in just one, so I choose this.
LONG LIFE TO JOHN MCLAINE!!!
I really enjoy watching him on Lie To Me giving life to Cal Lightman, this peculiar character that reads so easily your face. I cannot believe it's canceled!!
Since the "Rachel Haircut" she has changed her hair style a lot, and she always looks perfect!
Well, as you can see, this is my first List and took the RockerChick idea to make it (with a few changes).
I think is a good idea to introduce me on Listal, so I hope you like it.
There's actually 32 people, but anyway ;)
***************
Check out my others "30..." lists:
You are wrong wrong! wrong!! about the Coen bro's but it is a very entertaining list. Well done!
Thanks,
Skip West
and yes I really look like the pic. that's why I don't go out much
You're allowed to hate Joel and Ethan Coen, but please offer explanations as to why, considering they're two of the most epic contemporary American directors.
@Skip I'm glad u liked the list anyway... and yeah, you look very creepy! LOL
@Minuto Please, no, I don´t hate them. As I said in the list I really enjoyed Fargo but then I realized that not always you get a good deal from their movies, so I stopped watch´em because I knew it would be a waste of time. I don´t know, maybe I don´t get their style.
I knew that this choice in my list would be not so pleasant for everyone, but I thank you for respecting my opinion. :)
This list is awesome! I agree with you about Nicolas Cage. (There are a lot of worse actors out there!)
Morgan Freeman is such a great actor. There have been several movies that I have watched because he was in it. Some of which, I might not have watched otherwise.
Tim Roth was perfect for Lie to Me.
Finally, I'm glad you mentioned Bruce Willis because he has been one of my favorite actors for a long time.
i don't agree with you Gaby the movie Heat (1995) from micheal mann it's outstanding action movie who as everything great actors, great action scenes and good emotional scenes. maybe the scene in the restaurant will Al & Rob is not outstanding or memorable but the movie is great and it's rated 3 for very good. the Coen bros are not the greatest but they did one of the best movie of the past 20 years... No Country For Old Men (2007)
@darkwarrior... so, we agree to disagree haha
I didn't say that Heat was a bad movie, I actually liked, but was not what I was expecting from a De Niro-Pacino collaboration, that's all.
And about Coen's No country for all men, sorry but, maybe I don't understand this kind of cinema, but for me was too slow, senseless, and with a very poor ending.
I appreciate and respect your opinion, and what a boring world if we would all have the same tastes, right?
Thanks for respecting my opinion as well, and for your vote! :)
to really appreciate some movie's like No Country For Old Men (2007) or Kill Bill (2003) you have to be a fan of some great movie directors like Alfred Hitchcock and Sergio Leone who were extremely careless in each images of their movie's and they perfectly know that if you create some slower scene it's because you can put more some thrilling tension in the scene and you can feel more the emotions on the faces of the actors.
Gaby, I wish I could vote for this list twice...even three times! I love it! I agree with you almost all the way through. In regards to the Coen bros. I actually hated Fargo, and liked some of their others but you couldn't pay me enough to watch Burn after Reading. I just won't do it. Hell, I only like four of their films and they aren't the ones everyone else seem to rave over (True Grit, O Brother where art thou, Ladykillers and Miller's Crossing). They aren't cinematic gods, any more than Chris Nolan is, though I like his films better.
And I have to disagree with darkwarrior. You don't have to be a fan of great movie directors to enjoy some movies. The movies themselves just have to be good. Whether someone uses this or that camera angle or any of the other things that critics love to carry on about don't matter to me in the slightest. I can't see sitting and picking a film apart like that. If I could, then it wasn't that enjoyable to begin with.
A film should take hold of you and pull you into it's world and refuse to let you go - for the entirety of it's run. It should be your existence and the real world should fade away. It should rule your emotions, not you. If it can make you feel, and feel strongly, then that is the mark of a great film.
I do love your list!! I'm sorry for carrying on. I know that I do, from time to time. I would throw flowers and proffer chocolates and songs if I could...;D
First of all, thanks Fortunato for such a nice comment... I'm so glad you like this list so much, and that we agree.
About the other stuff, it's ok, we all can have different opinions as we respect eatch others.
Thanks both of you for sharing your thougts!
Thanks, Gaby! You're right, of course, we all have different opinions and tastes. It's like the star rating system: I don't pay too much attention to how many stars a film gets. I don't think it says how good, or bad, a film is; only what the majority opinion is. I've seen movies I hated with huge ratings and loved movies with low ones. You just never know. ;D
I can't believe your first list is that amazing .. I can't even compare it with my first list :S
Thanks,

@Miss Anonymous You´re in your right to feel that way.
