Actress: Rose Byrne. This movie is a must see for Rose's performance alone. No one can say as much with just their eyes and facial expressions as she can. She nails every emotion and you forget that you are watching someone acting. Also recommended: 'Troy'.
Big FishBig Fish
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.00
Actress: Alison Lohman. Alison has a small role in this movie, but she got my attention. I think it was her smile. Turns out she's a fantastic talent (when she gets more lines). Also recommended: 'White Oleander'.
The Ring (Widescreen Edition)The Ring (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.06
Actress: Naomi Watts. Not her best movie, but it's the first time I saw her and I have been in love since then. Without her this movie would have been a run of the mill contemporary horror flick. With her, thankfully, it is a masterpiece that draws me to multiple viewings. Naomi is great in everything she does. Also recommended: 'Mulholland Drive' and 'King Kong'.
Barbarella: Queen of the GalaxyBarbarella: Queen of the Galaxy
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.41
Actress: Jane Fonda. This movie was my introduction to Jane Fonda, and what an introduction it was! She is a goddess in this film. Beautiful, sexy, magnetic, funny, and anytime she opens those big eyes I am mesmerized. Yes, the movie is cheesy, but it's good anyway. Also recommended: 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?'
Devil's AdvocateDevil's Advocate
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $0.34
Actress: Charlize Theron. This was true love at first sight (from the first frame). Not only is she gorgeous in this film, but she put on what should have been an award winning peformance. Snuffed for this movie, but she later won an Oscar. Also recommended: 'Head in the Clouds'.
Lost and DeliriousLost and Delirious
Buy new: $14.49 / Used from: $7.73
Actress: Piper Perabo. I first saw Piper in 'Coyote Ugly' like most people probably, but I didn't see her wonderful talent until I saw this movie. A tragic love story made more heart-wrenching by Piper's incredible performance. Also recommended: 'Imagine Me and You'.
Keen Eddie - The Complete SeriesKeen Eddie - The Complete Series
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $17.88
Actress: Sienna Miller. This British starlet came out of the blue on this American TV show, and kept me coming back every week. Sadly the series was short-lived. Also recommended: 'Alfie'.
The Fifth Element (Ultimate Edition)The Fifth Element (Ultimate Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $2.74
Actress: Milla Jovovich. Milla is a highly underrated actress and is perfectly cast in this masterpiece. Also recommended: 'Dummy'.
Idle HandsIdle Hands
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.36
Actress: Jessica Alba. This is an early and small role for Jessica, but it introduced me to that perfect face. Also recommended: 'Dark Angel, 1st Season'.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2-Disc Collector's Edition)Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $6.97
Actress: Kate Winslet. I'm almost ashamed to say that I didn't recognize Kate's amazing talent until I saw this movie. Of course I saw 'Titanic' many years before this one, but for some reason she didn't wow me in that movie. Also recommended: 'Heavenly Creatures'.
Entrapment (Special Edition)Entrapment (Special Edition)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $0.99
Actress: Catherine Zeta-Jones. Exceedingly beautiful and capable of holding her own against the great Sean Connery. Also recommended: 'Mask of Zorro'.
A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)A Knight's Tale (Special Edition)
Buy new: $5.49 / Used from: $0.46
Actress: Shannyn Sossamon. Her very first movie and she lands a starring role, and for good reason. Unfortunately she hasn't really had any good roles since this movie.
Blade - Trinity (New Line Platinum Series)Blade - Trinity (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.78
Actress: Paker Posey. Paker had been in tons of movies before this one, but most are small independent films that I had never seen. Well, I've made a point of seeing most of them now after watching her in 'Blade: Trinity'. Also recommended: 'Party Girl'.
The O.C. - The Complete Fourth SeasonThe O.C. - The Complete Fourth Season
Buy new: $27.49 / Used from: $15.98
Actress: Autumn Reeser. Autumn started out as a small character, but completely took over the show in the last season. She could act circles around everybody else and the writers obviously realized this and made her a main character. Why she had not moved on to bigger and better things, I have no idea. Autumn was born to act.

Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $4.72
Actress: Ann-Margret. The only reason I've seen this movie more than once is Ann-Margret. It's not that great of a movie overall, but she is crazy and fantastic in it. Also recommended: 'Murderers Row'.
Color of NightColor of Night
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.91
Actress: Jane March. Jane goes all out in this movie and I appreciate it. I have no idea why she hasn't done more films.
