Lovely counterpoint to the Broads post.

Even as a child, I always thought Maleficent was beautiful. I enjoy the lips-like-a-scarlet-gash-slightly-severe-look, even though I am one velvet headband away from looking like a GOP helpmeet.

I think Hepburn in The Lion in Winter might belong on this list as well.

You're not the only one.

Really? This is the list that turns into who we would bang?
That Alien Queen. Man. We all know she's a lady on the Nostromo but a freak in the sheets.

I never could buy Malkovich as Valmont. He's just too creepy/ugly. Now Colin Firth as Valmont in the competing movie was believable to me. Then again, COLIN FIRTH.

Mary Tyler Moore in "Ordinary People." Oh, how I hated America's sweetheart after that.

Maleficient, by the way, is hot and awesome.

Oh, wait....CRUELLA???????

Chassis Attitude = Classy attitude?

Either I'm working too hard, or you ate a rhyming dictionary.

Let is be said that Maleficent is the best Disney villainess of all times. Always dug me some Peyton though what she did to poor Solomon sucked.

Too young for the Ratched band wagon though I can see sensual potential in those tightly wound curls.

Good post, Joanna. Cleveh gurhl how you get your love for Jurassic Park in somehow - it finds a way.

I always loved Fauna's psychological analysis of Maleficent's wicked behaviour:

"You know, sometimes I don't think she's very happy."

RE Jadine
Linda Fiorentino - The Last Seduction.
That is all.

This.

I totally bought Malkovich as Valmont. That's an excellent movie, if you can stand Michelle Pfeiffer's constant crying. And Glenn Close owns that movie. She's awesome in at least a dozen different ways. Also, if it's of any interest, Uma Thurman is topless in it. Young Uma Thurman.

my favorite classic Disney animated movie, though I couldn't exactly explain why

Because it's goddamn BEAUTIFUL. I mean, really...stunning.

As for Fiorentino, if you go into the Bitch You Wanna Bang BUT Is Still A Bitch That Scares The Shit Out Of You So You Really Have A Dilemma category, then Lena Olin tops her (to quote the Chicken Lady: Scarred! Scarred for LIFE!!).

Pfeiffer is a big part of what makes Malkovich so convincing. It's really just a superb example of seeing two actors act the shit out of each other and make you think ".....Daaaaaaaaamn". You know the scene.

Hey Now on the Malkovick Love! Totally bought him. He was creepy and insanely, inexplicably, disturbingly, sizzlingly sexxxay.

He's top of a list (just any list) of Scary-Sexy Men. The list would be fleshed out in various ways involving Gary Oldman in the Haight-Ashbury sunglasses in Dracula and tattood and nekkid Harvey Keitel in The Piano and etc, but Malkovich in DL is TIPPY TOP.

Agreeing on the Maleficent love. My favoritest Disney villain. (also in my favorite classic Disney animated movie, though I couldn't exactly explain why)

Jay has it right, that movie is GORGEOUS. I saw an exhibit on it at the Cartoon Museum in SF and they spent something like 10 years getting the backdrops to have that properly historical medieval-French-tapestry look.

This made me laugh until I hurt myself.

Also, Maleficent is THE AWESOME.

^ Yes. Just yes.

Kathleen Turner "Body Heat" or Barbara Stanwyck "Double Indemnity"

the fact that i saw HTRTC at LEASE 10 times in the theater (what? i love me some mildly retarded ernie hudson)makes me joyous that peyton was even mentioned.
but the addition of the car and the dinosaurs saddens me. fiorentino in last seduction NEEDS to be on this list. as does miranda richardson in crying game.

I totally agree with Christine being on the list... I used to get nightmares reading the book, that car was a real bitch!! And Sleeping Beauty was the first movie I ever saw at the cinema, at the tender age of four, so it always has a special place in my heart.
