Amanda Seyfried : Steel Tip
I'd like to recommend these five movies.
01. 'Mean Girls' (2004 - Mark Waters)
Who is meaner than the mean girls? Scripted by Tina Fey of Upper Darby (Seyfried is from Allentown), from a book by Rosalind Wiseman, 'Mean Girls' is directed by Mark Waters, the brother of 'Heathers' (1989) scriptwriter Daniel Waters. There's a sequel, 'Mean Girls 2' (2011), the spoof 'Mean Boyz' (2014), a spin-off entitled 'Mean Moms' is in development, and now there's a stage musical.
Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert & Rachel McAdams
Steel Force
'Solstice' (2008 - Daniel Myrick)
Atmospheric horror about a summer trip disturbed by an awakening.
Real Life Pals : Amanda Seyfried & Elisabeth Harnois
Agent Abby Bluestone with top clients Britt Robertson & Amanda Seyfried
Musical & Meditation Partners : Anna Kendrick & Amanda Seyfried with spiritual guru Tal Rabinowitz
'Chloe' (2009 - Atom Egoyan)
Brooding drama about infidelity and lust.
Amanda Seyfried & Julianne Moore
'In Time' (2011 - Andrew Niccol)
Time-hopping science-fiction thriller starring tequila heartthrob Justin Timberlake.
Amanda Seyfried & Justin Timberlake
'Lovelace' (2013 - Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman)
Biopic of adult action starlet Linda Lovelace.
Juno Temple & Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried is set to portray Marion Davies in David Fincher's new film 'Mank'. I like Kirsten Dunst's portrayal of Davies in Peter Bogdanovich's period piece 'The Cat's Meow' (2001). Fincher says Seyfried's one of the few women you see in black lipstick, which is an acute observation on his part. 'Marie Claire' recognises Seyfried's embrace of lipstick, she is the face of Clé de Peau Beauté.
She's also filming a new horror movie being co-directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, which is exciting for horror fans. It's called 'Things Heard And Seen'. Here she is on location with actor James Norton.

The drama in Chloe was pretty routine. But the sex scenes were more graphic than I expected.

Not least, as it's a return to the adult designer thrillers of the 1980s and 1990s. It's a remake of Anne Fontaine's drama 'Nathalie...' (2003).

I don't usually like black lipstick, but I'll make an exception for Amanda.
Just added Chloe to my Netflix queue. Haven't seen that one yet.
I recently saw her in The Art of Racing in the Rain. It's a dog story, so you can't really go wrong.
When I first saw Ted 2 (yes, I know, it's juvenile humor and I'm guilty as charged), I had no idea she was musically talented. Now I usually watch for this scene when it airs on tv.

Agreed!
I actually thought that Amanda Seyfried's character was a little creepy in that Movie though towards the end.

Amanda was a regular during the first season of the now cult hit Veronica Mars (2004). Her character, a murder victim before the events of the series, appears in flashbacks and as a ghostly presence who shows up to drop obscure clues to Veronica. Very memorable.

I didn't really like Lovelace or its stance.

My sister offered to lend me the complete 'Veronica Mars' box-set. She thinks I'll like it. Maybe I should take her up on this offer if an enforced period of isolation takes hold.

Please give it a try. I will be interested in your comments.

I think I will, thanks. I'll ask my sister next time I see her.

I just watched Chloe. I had never even heard of it until this thread, Wow! Good story. It was somewhat like a reverse-gender Fatal Attraction. I'm unaccustomed to seeing Seyfried in serious roles, but she was certainly up to the task. And the Mychael Danna music helps create an erotic atmosphere (not the first film where I've seen him do that).
I kept wondering why Michael seemed to have an underlying resentment towards Catherine. This was explained in the deleted scenes. Now I'm wondering why those scenes were excluded from the final cut. They're only a few minutes long and they add information, albeit minor, to the story.
I checked Egoyan's filmography. I do recall once seeing a few minutes of Exotica, but other than that, I haven't seen any of his works. I'll have to try some other selections soon. As always, thanks for the enlightenment.

I'm a big fan of Atom Egoyan. If you explore his work, here's my top 5 -
1991 The Adjuster
1994 Exotica
1997 The Sweet Hereafter
1999 Felicia's Journey
2005 Where the Truth Lies
He's one of my favourite filmmakers among those active in Canada, alongside William Fruet, David Cronenberg and Rafal Zielinski.
Here he is with Brian De Palma, two master stylists who approach the creation of genre cinema with the same kind of enthusiasm and intellectual vigour ...

I saved that list to my Netflix notepad. I just cancelled my account for now because I'm in the process of moving. It'll be a while before I watch movies again that aren't on tv.

His movies can be soul-destroying, but you wake up the next morning and wonder why. Great filmmaker.

I like Lovelace and Mean Girls, though Mean Girls has started to annoy me on re-watches.
Chloe and In Time are just okay imo.
