    I haven't seen much of her, so I'd have to say that Punch-Drunk Love is my favorite. I'll check out Breaking the Waves sometime. Happy birthday, though.

    BQ:

    1. Helena Bonham Carter

    2. Rachel Weisz

    3. Zooey Deschanel

    BQ2: Honestly, I can't think of any endings that I flat out hated. I will say that I didn't much enjoy the ending to the more recent King Kong, though. I know that the original film ended in the same "Twas beauty killed the beast" line (or whatever it was), but I thought that it could have ended a little better. The final tower scene was pretty cool, but just the ending itself wasn't great to me.

    EDIT: Forgot about War of the Worlds (The Cruise one). I disliked that ending more than that of King Kong.

    BQ3: Prometheus. I love the LOTR and Dark Knight franchises, but Prometheus has the most potential to me, and I'll always be an Alien fan above the rest. I don't know much about the Avengers, but what I've heard sounds cool. I have absolutely no idea what the Hunger Games is about, but I keep hearing about the books...

    My favourite movie starring Emily Watson is Red Dragon, she did such an great performance in it :)

    BQ: Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley and Kate Winslet and Kirsten Dunst, but I'm also liking Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone.

    BQ2: Haha, I can only think of The Lady in the Water starring Bryce Dallas Howard, damn it had a weird ending...

    BQ3: I can't wait for The Hobbit! But I'm also very exited about The Hunger Games, that being a fan of both books :)

  • 9 years ago

    Indeed a great actrice. I love her too.

    I have to say my favorite movie with her is Punch-Drunk-Love.

    BQ:

    - Julliette Lewis

    - Michelle Williams

    - Emily Blunt

    BQ2:

    Funny games U.S.

    That movie pissed me off so much, i had to run a couple of laps around the block to ease my anger.

    To me that was the movie equivalent of a kick in the balls.

    I've gotta go with Dark Knight Rises. I'm a huge Batman fan.

    I haven't seen many of her movies, but I thought Angela's Ashes was well acted. It was a rather depressing story, but it was well done. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0145653/

    I'm looking forward to Prometheus, The Hobbit, and The Avengers. But I might go see the others at some point.
