I agree with every single comment except for Nicole Kidman.
Follow Ups:
rico,Thanks, and it's nice to clear the air before it gets hot and we're all watching those two great actors Kerry and Bush in their epic struggle to revive the famous A&C "Who's on first" routine!
With Kidman, she is wonderful to look at, but I just don't find her memorable and she is seen so often. I think that over-exposure alone may put an annoynace factor form me where it is not strictly deserved. I remember a few years when the excellent Anthony Hopkins was just in every single damn thing that came along and I was on the verge of asking for an explanation of why we couldn't see someone else sometimes. This happened with Winona Ryder too. There was a high point of this when "Bram Stoker's Dracula" came out with both Hopkins and Ryder. It certainly registered on the annoyance meter at the time. With so many wonderful English actors why use an American with an English accent came out of a cereal box?
But as it's you commenting, I would welcome suggestions of something with Kidman to take her off the list?
Cheers,
Bambi B
Does she try too hard, as Patrick suggests? Maybe, but in this film, that's what her character is all about, too. Somehow, she is very convincing playing a total bitch. I don't mean that as an insult, either... it's a good flick.Ah yes, Winona Ryder in DRACULA... I gave up right at the moment when she says, in that godawful fake accent, "Shall I cawl the p'leece?"

I think her absolute best is in 1995's "To Die For". I also liked her in "Dead Calm". She' not bad in "The Others". And I am one of the very few who admire Kubtick's "Eyes Wide Shut".Agree, however, on the overexposure. The one that was driving me nuts a few years ago was Helen Hunt, who seemed to be in EVERY movie that year.
Kidman just try to hard. It shows.
