Favorite Jodie Foster Film?
 

Thoughts??? :wavey:

I am looking forward to her new movie "Brave One"

Taxi Driver!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her recent stuff, especially Panic Room and Flight Plan are laughable. Just garbage.

On Edit, I actually really enjoyed her in The Hotel New Hampshire.

This is too hard. I'll try, though. I, too, want to see her new one. But first, I want to see her old new one, with Denzel? Where she was all sly? forgot the name of.
She's so great. I thought her performance in Stealing Home was most poignant, but I couldn't overall say it is my favorite movie. I mean, for god's sake, Mark Harmon is in it. I love LGWLDTL and Foxes as movies, but I'm not sure they're her best performances. See, this is hard. *sigh*. It's a very important issue, though, so I better give it a lot of thought. :p
Has she ever shown as much pure range and fire as in The Accused? I don't really think so.

Damn..I forgot it too....:laugh:

Holy ****..How did I forget Taxi Driver!!!! :eek:

I love that you know "Stealing Home!!!"
I think her new movie is all kick ass - revenge thing. The previews looked good. I love seeing her in action movies!!

I know! I thought the same thing as it is my fav thing she ever did. I also have a sweet spot for 'Little Man Tate.'

Ah, I love that one too, I forgot. She was good in TD, but I don't really like that movie overall, so I couldn't possibly have voted for it. hee.

me too.

I actually have met Jodie. I waited on her a bunch of times. She is very cool..very smart. I met her after she shot Silence Of The Lambs. We talked about theatre, Marsha Norman (the playwright)...she did her play Getting Out in Yale. I was in a play at the time..and she would always ask me how it was all going.We talked about her home in France. Very sweet..LOVED HER!!!

I chose The Accused, but I would have chosen Silence of the Lambs and then Stealing Home.

love Jodie. love.Jodi.

me too. i can't choose between the accused, silence of the lambs, and taxi driver. i love her, but her last couple of movies have been pretty bad, and the new one looks similar. i hope it's not as silly as the trailer looks.

also my top 3...:nod:

SASS!!

I love Ms Foster. My fav from your list is THE ACCUSED, but I also lover her THE HOTEL NEW HAMPSHIRE (remember that Interview she did with Rob Lowe in Andy Warhol's Interview? So cute...) and FOXES was great. As a kid I adored her in FREAKY FRIDAY. And what can you say about TAXI DRIVER? She was stunning.

I think she's one of the most talented actors of our time.

Cant wait for the new one!

rbs

I never saw Hotel New Hampshire *ducks*

I have met all 4 Foxes....:nod:

didnt she do a movie where she didnt speak but communicated with hand motions and whatnot? I thought I remembered one like that..

nell. based on a true story.

"Chicky nicky naw naw" :eek::laugh::wavey:

The movie was NELL.
Liam Neeson and Jodi Foster in the woods.

rbs

Ooops. Sorry, Carrie. Didn't mean to be an echo...

rbs

she acted the hell out of that role. her acting was way better than the movie itself, imo.

i knew it was spun out of the play "idioglossia", but i didn't know that it was actually based on a true story. i can see that it would be, it just never occurred to me.

yeah, check this **** out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_(feral_child)

very sad story. and further evidence that there is an age after which kids can't learn language ... sad :distress:

That's so cool. I love meeting people that I admire greatly.

I should add (not on your list), but Contact. I struggle with the film as a whole, but Foster really was amazing in this. Strange how the movies I love her in are not on your list. But there is no doubt she has an incredible and long résumé.

^^^
Contact was awesome.

yeah. I didn't mind Panic Room, but Flight Plan was almost unbearable. good thing I watched a bootleg.

i shelled out $8 for it. :laugh: and i preferred it to panic room, actually ... i just hated how stupid her character was in that movie.

Totally. I was embarrassed for her. I wonder if it was a studio contractual obligation or did it just sound good on paper?

Then again, I'm not big on these action/drama films as a whole as I find them appealing to the lowest common denominator. But there are exceptions. Flightplan is not one of them.

really? that didn't really bother me. I was probably too busy staring at Jared Leto, trying to make Dwight Yoakam out of the that mess of mangled face...and trying to figure out exactly where Forest Whitaker was looking.

LOL.

i just hated when the cops came to the door, and she sent them away without hesitation. that's when i jumped ship and stopped caring what happened. so ridic.

No Little Man Tate? I have a strange liking for that film. But, it's actually my #2 pick, as Silence of the Lambs happens to be my favorite movie of all time. So I went with that.

Brad

yeah it was pretty touching....

Yep..I missed Nell, Little Man Tate & Contact....CRAP!
I threw in a couple of oldies cuz....it was funny and I thought someone might be nostalgic.

I really think Contact is a great movie. It may have been kind of far fetched, but I thought it was interesting from a philosophical standpoint. That and Silent of the Lambs are my favorite JF films.

That one comes out on my Birthday, on the 14th, I think I am going to "treat myself" and go see it, looks WAY COOL!

I voted Silence of the Lambs, but The Accused and Taxi Driver are right up there. I love me some Jodie also.

I voted for Silence of the Lambs. Not only was her performance fantastic, but it's one of my favorite all-time movies. I love The Accused, Contact (Matthew's hot in it), Little Man Tate and Taxi Driver as well. I don't like her so much in the romance films. Suspense and drama are perfect for her.

Nell: Like a taaaaay in da wiiiiiiiiiind.

eh. I picked silence of the lambs only because it's the only one I could stand.


I despise jodie foster.

I will refer you to Paula's sig pic and quote. :lol:

lol :sorry: maybe it will inspire a new album :lol:

We all knew already that Kentuckians don't have any taste. :rolleyes:

of course everyone knew. I'm friends with you, right?



:cool:

Belgians don't have any taste either. :shrug:

don't you ever compare me to belgians again :mad: I'll never be THAT bad off...
