My Favorite Performances of 1995 (Female)

Elinor Dashwood - Sense and Sensibility
"Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you."

Ginger McKenna - Casino
"I went into this with my eyes open, you know. I knew the bottom could drop out at any time. I'm a working girl, right? You don't think I'm gonna go into a situation like this if I don't think I'm gonna get covered on the back end."

Honorable Mentions:
Ellen - The Quick and the Dead

Sister Helen Prejean - Dead Man Walking
"I want the last face you see in this world to be the face of love, so you look at me when they do this thing. I'll be the face of love for you."

Lornette 'Mace' Mason - Strange Days
"Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason."

Dawn Wiener - Welcome to the Dollhouse
"Just because Ralphie's a faggot doesn't mean he's an asshole."

Marianne Dashwood - Sense and Sensibility
"Pathetic? To die for love? How can you say so? What could be more glorious?"

Justine Hanna - Heat
"You don't live with me, you live among the remains of dead people. You sift through the detritus, you read the terrain, you search for signs of passing, for the scent of your prey, and then you hunt them down. That's the only thing you're committed to. The rest is the mess you leave as you pass through."

Tracy Mills - Se7en

Charlene Shiherlis - Heat
"It's like risk versus reward, baby."

Mary - Party Girl
"I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills."

Honorable Mentions:
Miami - Kicking and Screaming
Brandi - The Doom Generation

Nicole Springer - Living in Oblivion
"No, I don't know his sign but I think his moon is in Uranus."

Cher - Clueless
"You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet."

The Killer's Agent - Fallen Angels
"As I was leaving, I asked if he'd give me a ride home. I hadn't ridden on a motorcycle in a long time. Actually, I hadn't been that close to a man for a while. The road wasn't that long, and I knew I'd be getting off soon. But at that moment I felt such warmth."

Xenia Onatopp - GoldenEye
"This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine."

Carolina - Desperado
"I used some of the money to keep this place open. And I stashed the rest, thinking - if some day things got really bad here, l'd have the money to leave. But I can't leave. Because once you're in, you can't get out."

Tai - Clueless
"Why should I listen to you, anyway? You're a virgin who can't drive."

Charlie / Cherry - Fallen Angels

Faith Justin - Strange Days
"You know one of the ways movies are still better than playback? The music comes up, there's credits, and you always know when it's over."

Marcia Brady - The Brady Bunch Movie
"Charlie asked me to the dance, and I said yes. Then Doug asked me to the dance, and I said yes to him too. What am I going to do?"

Amy Blue - The Doom Generation
"Why don't you go PASSIONATELY fuck yourself?"

Kathryn Railly - 12 Monkeys
"Cassandra in Greek legend, you recall, was condemned to know the future but to be disbelieved when she foretold it. Hence the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about it."

Karen Flores - Get Shorty
"So, let me get this straight. You broke in again to apologize for breaking in before?"

Jane - Kicking and Screaming
"Sometimes you can be such a child."

Joi - Friday
"Mmm-hmm yeah, yeah, well let me tell you what. You just tell the bitch, whoeva she is, when I catch her, Imma beat her ass!"

Daphne Monet - Devil in a Blue Dress
