I just saw Devil again recently on On Demand and it helped me remember that that was the role that put Cheadle on my favorite actors list. That smallish thing was so fine. He was equally great in the Clooney-Lopez thing. At First Sight or something similar. Lazy enough to avoid IMDB to clarify.

  2. Kirk Douglas
    hmmmmmmmmmm something to do with pirates

  8. Mickey Rourke- the one with the ice cube

  9. Mickey Rooney- National Velvet

  17. Charlize Theron- Monster

  18. Emma Thompson- One of my favorites- I don’t know how to limit her to just one, but I guess it would have to be Sense & Sensibility

15

  1. Burt Lancaster Elmer Gantry

  2. Kirk Douglas Spartacus

  3. Michael Douglas Romancing the Stone

  4. Kevin Costner Dances With Wolves

  5. Samuel L. Jackson Pulp Fiction

  6. Don Cheadle who?

  7. Denzel Washington soldier in Glory

  8. Mickey Rourke 9 1/2 weeks

  9. Mickey Rooney Andy Hardy

  10. Annette Bening ?

  11. Salma Hayek The Muse in Dogma

  2. Kirk Douglas – He is Spartacus!

  3. Michael Douglas – Gordon Gekko, Wall Street

  4. Kevin Costner – Ray in Field of Dreams

  5. Samuel L. Jackson – Whatever his role was in Pulp Fiction

  6. Don Cheadle – Sammy Davis Jr. in that made-for-HBO Rat Pack

  7. Denzel Washington – Whatever his character’s name was in Glory

  8. Mickey Rourke – Whatever his role was in Nine 1/2 Weeks

  9. Mickey Rooney – Andy Hardy in Love Finds Andy Hardy (with a dishonorable mention to those commercials in which he pretends to wash dishes while his latest wife does all the talking)

  10. Annette Bening – Whatever her role was in The Grifters

  11. Salma Hayek – Was she in The Mexican? (Checks IMDb) No, and though I’ve heard of some of the films she’s been in, I haven’t seen any.

  12. Hedy Lamarr – The nude scene she did in Ecstasy

  13. Glenn Close – The psycho bitch in Fatal Attraction

  14. Judy Garland – Dorothy Gale, The Wizard of Oz

  15. Holly Hunter – Whatever her role was in Broadcast News

  16. Halle Berry – Catwoman, Catwoman

  17. Charlize Theron – I knew she was in either Monster’s Ball or Monster, and an IMDb search informed me it was the latter. I’ve never seen either of those films, in case you couldn’t guess that fact. I remember her being interviewed by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show and talking about having a gorilla communicate the fact (through gestures/sign language) that the ape knew she smoked, but that segment doesn’t really count as a role.

  18. Emma Thompson – A lot of Shakespearean roles, none of which stand out. Again, my most vivid memory of her is a Tonight Show interview – she used the word “tits”, and it wasn’t bleeped, even though a male guest on the show had recently said the same word and had it censored.

17

I don’t why I should find this so much fun, but I do. Showing off my eclectic taste and prodigious memory? Trying to evangelise films I particularly like? The thrill of competition? The sometime thwarted desire to cheat?
