So...I kinda liked
The Boy Next Door. Very cheesy of course, but silly fun. On the DVD extras, they talked about the erotic thrillers from the 80's and 90's and used those as inspiration. It would be so easy to pick this movie apart in so many ways, but why ruin your fun and not just sit back and enjoy the ride?
Plus Ryan Guzman is lovely to look at (as if Jennifer Lopez). Kristin Chenoweth makes the most of her role and John Corbett is...there... (But I've always found Corbett to be a bit of a Ken doll, minus the personality.)
There is no way that Fifty Shades of Grey (and particularly Dakota Johnston) should be getting Razzies, but of course it would.
I like that there are two female directors in the worst Director Category. Yay for breaking the glass ceiling!
I've got this one recently from the library, forget they had it and was surprised so many copies had an "On Shelf" status. Anyway, I got a copy and will watch it at some point. Disappointing that female directors get some attention...and it's
negative attention.
...and so many good recommendations from
@Nell411 :
...Rosalind Russell in The Women and His Girl Friday. I know the obvious performance would be Auntie Mame but I've decided to go for the beginning of her career instead.
I looked into all three of us only to end up with seeing all three on my To See lists. Only His Girl Friday available at our local library system, but the other two I might get the next time I'm housesitting.
The second is Angela Lansbury in The Court Jester and The Manchurian Candidate.
Added The Court Jester to my list. I'm pretty sure I saw The Manchurian Candidate at some point. Then saw the Meryl/Denzel remake. Not feeling drawn back to this one for some reason. Maybe just because there's too many movies that I haven't seen one time, so why see this one a second time? Maybe The Court Jester will draw me in enough that I'll be curious to see Lansbury in such a different role.
There are loads of other performances I could mention, Peter O'Toole and Katharine Hepburn in The Lion In Winter, John Wayne in The Searchers, Maureen O'Hara in The Quiet Man. But this post took me over an hour to type because I kept getting sidetracked*. So I'm going to stop at this.
I found The Lion In Winter difficult to get into at first, but when I returned to it, I liked it much more than when I first started on it. Didn't think O'Toole's and Hepburn's performances were dramatically better than pretty much all their other work, though!
The Searchers I think I've seen, but I'm not sure, so I put it on hold. And The Quiet Man has been added to my list as well.
Will we be getting a part two of your favourite performances of all time? I think everything you've ever posted about has been added to my To See list. Who knows when I'll get around to a best performances list, I still have about 200 movies to think about as I'm making my Best Movies Of All Time list. I've got 63 on my final list so far. So far, this one is #6: North Sea Texas (2011, Belgium)
And lastly, I enjoy a horror movie when it has a good story. But the last three movies listed here all look horrible. Or just...WEIRD. If anybody watches the trailer for "Nina Forever", let me know what you think. Just wacky...or a horror art film? 
How he managed to read it at 6 yo & write a essay on it! Wow bravo Charlie Brown. Me & my friends who work with me @ the library were impressed
But the quiz title is kinda misleading as the ten movies are all from 1950 (well, maybe one from 1951...)
