Favorite films with Jodie Foster
- Candleshoe - it's been years and years since I've seen it, but the memories are so fond that it gets #1
- Inside Man - recent but very strong entry
- Silence of the Lambs - I don't like it...I don't enjoy it, but it's one hell of a film
- Contact - geek
- Maverick - bit of a lark but a fair bit of fun
Honorable Mention - Bugsy Malone - never seen it, but kids playing gangsters and throwing pies instead of firing guns has to be fun
Favorite films with Nicole Kidman
- To Die For - strong performance in her first major leading role
- Moulin Rouge! - one of the factors that brought back a thankfully brief resurgance of movie musicals and one of the few I was happy to have seen
- Malice - odd little film, not much seen, with great twists and double crosses
- Dogville - hard to get into and certainly not for the mass audience, but excellent exploration of modern times without ever stepping out of the distant past
- Batman Forever - far from the best Batman flick but way better than the next one - blech
Favorite films with Susan Sarandon
- Bull Durham - one of the best sports films ever made
- Bob Roberts - another with a small audience - lean left, like Dylan? you'll like this one
- Igby Goes Down - her part isn't massive, but it's felt throughout
- Thelma & Louise - for a chick flick, it was actually fun
- James & the Giant Peach - Sarandon has said in interviews that she does kids movies so her own kids can see her on screen...thanks...
Favorite films with Julianne Moore
- The Big Lebowski - possibly my favorite comedy of all time
- Short Cuts - lots of characters, all interesting, all interconnected - quintessential Altman
- Far from Heaven - powerful film about love and hatred in the sixties
- Boogie Nights - excellent certainly-not-family film about a very unconvential family
- Magnolia - in the Altman vein but not the equal of the master's great works
Favorite films with Uma Thurman
- Kill Bill: Vol 1 - one of my favorite flicks - full of sizzle, but that's what sells the steak
- Gattaca - quality sci-fi that's a lot more fun than most would think
- Pulp Fiction - one of the best flicks on the 90's
- The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - I have a serious weak spot for Terry Gilliam movies
- Sweet & Lowdown - edging out Batman & Robin because it's actually a good movie as opposed to the one thats only redeeming feature is Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy
