Please list your favorite actresses

Wow, thanks.

1.Vera Farmiga ; hands down. not only is she the anomaly in terms of attractiveness (she's my clear #1 ever and has been since about 2009), which makes her #1 on that alone, she's also got the best Top 5-ish level of movies for me to(I am not aware of another actress who can top Vera's Top 5-ish movies), which are...

1.Source Code (2011) - 9/10 (my #1 movie of 2011)
2.Up in the Air (2009) - 8-8.5/10 (my #1 movie of 2009)
3.Running Scared (2006) - 8/10 (my #4 movie of 2006. also, this contains my favorite scene of Vera's which is the 'pedophile scene' (that's not as bad as it sounds))
4.At Middleton (2013) - 7-7.5/10 (my #2 movie of 2013)
5.The Departed (2006) - 7/10 (my #9 movie of 2006)


after her I don't have anything clear cut and then could just start naming some others (but I won't for now as there are quite a few I at least mildly like). although Amy Adams would be up there because putting Vera aside, she's one of the most attractive and she's got a good overall presence.

I understand ck100's basic point in that when it comes to actresses in general the ones that tend to grab your attention the most tend to be attractive.

but also like ck100 mentioned... many he likes from a general attractiveness perspective tend to be generally good at acting to, or at least good enough.


p.s. movieman ; I see you listed Cate BLANDchett and Amy Adams as some of your favorites... for me those two are pretty much worlds apart (not polar opposite level, but close enough) as even putting aside Amy Adams attractiveness (which, on that alone, makes her one of the best) she's got more of a warm presence etc where as Cate BLANDchett is, well, bland. she's too dry for my tastes (hell, I kind of see Streep in that neighborhood to) and generally lacks any real screen presence. basically she does not elevate movies (if anything, she will have more of a negative affect than a positive one) as in general she's okay-ish at best as just about anyone with a decent name will likely top her in my book.

I never got that impression because I know what you mean since it seems we are likely similar on this issue and I would not be surprised if many guys (if not most(?) (or even vast majority?)) see things similar enough to us in that when it comes to actresses we see them differently than actors because, with actresses, since we are males, the whole general attractiveness inevitably plays a factor (at least most of the time) on who we generally prefer to see in movies over others.

but with that said... while I am sure we are biased on some level because of that, I still think we both can see well enough that some actresses we may like are getting by more on their attractiveness than their acting skills but at the same time I suspect your probably similar to me in that those we find more attractive than most other actresses generally can act well to (or at least well enough).

but like I mentioned above, not all actresses I like are attractive even though I would assume the easy majority are (as in at least mildly attractive).

Now this I would definitely disagree with as to me ones overall attractiveness is not strictly surface looks or the like. in fact, I doubt I could pick strictly on surface looks as when judging someones overall attractiveness you sort of need to see them just talk and interact with others a bit etc. sort of this warmness they give off etc as not too many have it.

because doing my best to look primarily at surface looks... there are probably quite a few out there who would easily pass this test but the list shrinks quite a bit when you start looking at their overall attractiveness. like some people who I can easily see would be consider 'good looking' by many, end up being nothing special for me because they are missing something. like a decent example off the top of my head... Kate Beckinsale. like on the surface she should be solid as her looks I can easily see being quite popular and she even seems nice enough etc, but at least for me, something is missing that stops her from standing out.

p.s. like I always say... Vera Farmiga is a anomaly for me as she's just not supposed to be THAT overall attractive for me but she is as the warmth etc just pours of out her... www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7lH2M-zApo (just a small little 2min interview on The Commuter (2018), which is a good video of her) ; hell, she 'almost' makes Amy Adams unattractive in comparison (NOTE: that's a little exaggeration there, as Amy Adams is in the running for my #3 spot(behind Vera Farmiga/Kari Byron), but you get the gist ). almost no one else can even challenge Vera in my mind (except Kari Byron(most known for the TV show 'Mythbusters')). I can honestly say Vera is a anomaly as she's been my clear #1 ever since about 2009 now and that's not going to change as she seems immune to dropping off as her attractiveness is not based strictly on looks but this general presence about her as it's partially the warmth etc she gives off just really stands out to me and that's not something she will lose with age. God forbid Vera ever disappears from movies etc as seeing her instantly makes me feel better ; only side effect with her in movies is that her attractiveness can be a distraction and take me out of a movie a bit at times as I focus a little too much on her. I could watch her watching paint dry and not have a single complaint. ill stop preaching now

SIDE NOTE: porn in general just lowers someone as they are definitely not someone who you could have a long term relationship with. but I suspect the kinds of guys they attract are not going to be the good kind anyways. I suspect many probably don't care though. basically that crap is just bad as I hear many get into it and get on drugs etc etc.
