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.
Has she ever shown as much pure range and fire as in The Accused? I don't really think so.

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!!

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!!!

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.

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!
