The Silver Screen Is Eternal

So, I answered a meme from goddesspharo, where she gave me a list of twenty actors and actress and asked me what my favorite films of theirs were.

She gave me:

1. Robert Downey Jr

IRON MAN. Enough said.

2. Harrison Ford

This was a tough call, by despite my fondness for Indian Jones, I am going to have to go with the original Star Wars trilogy.

3. Ryan Reynolds

...is one of those "funny" actors who I kind of dislike - that said, he's totally ripped and chopping wood in The Proposal, so I'll go with that.
 
4. Johnny Depp

The original PotC movie, hands down. He was such fun, and a fantastic way to more the plot along.

5. Edward Norton

This is going to surprise people, but The Painted Veil. That film was gorgeous, total scenery porn, and a romance for adults, all about two stubborn people realizing they're in love.

6. Nicolas Cage

City of Angels. Shut up, okay? I was at a very impressionable age when I saw it.

7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

10 Things I Hate About You. God, that movie was such a classic. It's my generation's Pretty In Pink. For that alone I'm kind of appalled they decided to make it into a tv series.

8. George Clooney

I'm tempted to say "The Peacemaker" simply because my answers are looking a little too classy to be an honest reflection of my taste, but Up In The Air was fantastic, and one of the few times I have loved an unhappy ending, so I am going to have to go with with.

9. Tom Cruise

MI:2. (See? This is more like it.)

10. Hugh Jackman

X-MEN! X-MEN! X-Men!

And now for the ladies...

1. Rachel McAdams

Sherlock Holmes, although I have wanted to see Red Eye for approaching forever and almost want to pick that preemptively.

2. Alicia Silverstone

Clueless. Oh, the '90s...

3. Zoe Saldana

The Losers. And no, I haven't seen it yet. I saw the trailer, she was too badass for me not to pick that movie.

4. Anne Hathaway

The Devil Wears Prada.

5. Sarah Michelle Gellar

Buffy. Yes, it wasn't a movie, but like Kristin Bell, in another five questions, this is an actress who was in a fantastic television series and then acts in crap movies.

6. Katherine Heigl

27 Dresses.

That was the best rom-com I have seen in a long time.

7. Jane Lynch

Julie and Julia

8. Kate Winslet

Titantic.

9. Meryl Streep

Music Of The Heart

10. Kristen Bell

Veronica Mars. See 'Sarah Michelle Geller' for more detail.

You are not the only one who saw City of Angels at an impressionable age. I still enjoy that movie... and Nicholas Cage (despite his terrible, terrible hair plugs (or whatever they are doing with it now)).

Ugh, I know. He needs to just accept that he can no longer play thirty-somethings.
