To RaptureRider....
Just read your list of favorite actresses and had to comment. I was stunned to see the first two mentioned, Dianne Weist sp? and Frances McDormand are two favorites of mine as well.'Independence Day' sold me on Weist for life and likewise, 'Raising Arizona' for McDormand. I was lucky enough to attend a special award ceremony in her honor here at the Sundance Film Festival some years ago and there was a Q and A and she was thoroughly enjoyable. Agreed with several of your other choices as well...Maggie Smith, Diane Keaton. Wanted to recommend a few lesser known movies......'Dog Fight' with River Phoenix and Lili Taylor, and 'Stanley and Iris' with Jane Fonda and Robert DeNiro (and your Martha Plimpton whom I've always liked as well). The latter is more of a commercial movie and quite formulaic but the charm of the leads and rest of the cast more than make up I think. As for Michelle Williams, if you haven't yet seen 'Blue Valentine' you must. Saw it at the Sundance Festival in '10 and both Williams and Gosling (he is always amaaazing) are outstanding. Thanks for your 'movie list'. AND your Independence Day DVD source link - I've always adored this movie and own two VHS tapes and couldn't believe it wasn't yet available on dvd, so thx!
