Rico Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I'd say Jane Fonda, but I don't want to get the assclowns excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I'll assume you're joking. Kate Winslet isn't American. 139591[/snapback] Sorry I was thinking of best actresses, forgot it was limited to Americans...my bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 See - I think Julia Roberts is atrocious as an actress. I didn't see "Erin Brockovich" 139685[/snapback] That was her best acting performance. She was really good in it. If you call a woman acting like a b!tch...acting...that is...

T-Bone Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Because she sucks. 139713[/snapback] I second that motion, Julia Roberts is the most overrated actress of this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet baboo Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 See - I think Julia Roberts is atrocious as an actress. I didn't see "Erin Brockovich" but everything else I have seen her in (Pelican Brief, Ocean's 11, Pretty Woman, Mystic Pizza) she has been decidedly underwhelming. 139685[/snapback] Erin Brockovich was awful...a movie about bitching at EVERYTHING and mostly disrespecting professionals...not oscar worthy...then again, i felt alot of performances weren't oscar worthy but the stupid academy awards is one big sham and jerkoff fest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 My vote goes to Annette Benning - she was absolutely fantastic in American Beauty - one of the best performances I've seen in a long time. Go rent it - she's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I'd say Jane Fonda,but I don't want to get the assclowns excited. 139758[/snapback] I am sure you were joking, but Jane Fonda, no matter how you feel about her politics, is one of the greatest actresses ever! Definitely a top 5-10! But, I know she is not current, so I will have to say either Julianne Moore, or Gwyneth Paltrow. I will give Moore a slight edge, becuase she has picked much better roles for herself. Gwyneth is a fine actress, but since winning an Oscar, has been in mainly awful mainstream fair. It happens to most Oscar winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Joe Fergy_* Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Why has nobody mentioned Julia Roberts? 139594[/snapback] I was reading all these post and was thinking the same thing. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of a few roles she's had that were great, including Klute, Barefoot in the Park, and 9 to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This woman could not act the part of the dandelion in a kindergarten skit. 139976[/snapback] uuhh, okay...I guess you haven't really seen any of her films if you think "she could not act the part of the dandelion in a kindergarten skit." On what merit do you judge her acting ability? I know it is popular to hate her, but the woman is a fine actress. She won Oscars when they still meant something, during the best era of American films (the 70's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 My choices would be: Sigourney Weaver Sally Fields Meryl Streep Jenna Jameson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Two have mentioned her already, but I go with the lovely and luminous Julianne Moore. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Golden Pond she was on screen with Kathryn Hepburn and Henry Fonda, 2 greats, she couldn't have paled more in comparison...the little blond kid was far better Didn't see Klute or Barefoot in the Park, but her role in 9-5 was very narrowly fixed and very forgettable.

Not a top 5, 10 or 20 in my humble opinion 140141[/snapback] Okay. As long as it is a humble opinion, and not an educated one..."Barbarella" might have gone right over your head! Check out "Klute" (nominated for best actress, great film as well) and "They Shoot Horses Don't They" (nominated and won best actress award, one of the greatest American films, ever!). Funny that you pick one of her minor films ("9 to 5") and say she was "narrowly fixed" (whatever that means), and then insinuate that she paled on the screen next to her father, and Kathryn Hepburn. Both Hepburn and Henry Fonda were playing very stereotyped crumrudgens, and was neither of their finest roles. Henry was in the early stages on alzheimers at the time. It was Fonda (Jane) who made this otherwise schmaltzy movie so memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
