Samantha Morton is such a good actress.

1. I agree n/t

[henslee]

2. She sure doesn't work that much. I just adore her.

I'm tongue tied just posting about her.

[qnr]

3. Hmm, seems like I'm seeing her all over the place. Maybe we just

look for her movies. There are more, but I can think of a number we've seen recently:

The Libertine, Code 46 (really liked this one), Minority Report, Morvern Callar - just off the top of my head

[henslee]

4. Saw Minority Report. Aware of Libertine (do you reccomend?)

Never heard of Movern Callar or Code 46. Thanks for the tip.

8. IRT The Libertine, I found it to be a fascinating movie. Johnny Depp

and Samantha were both great, in my opinion.

6. The lady's film credits.

See the link below. Look how many were released in 2006!

As far as I know, she's been twice nominated for an Academy Award (for In America and Sweet and Lowdown, for, respectively, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress).

5. She starred in In America - one of my favorite movies

She also was in Sweet and Lowdown with Sean Penn.

9. Here is one:

12. Wow. Just looked her up on IMDB.

I obviously missed the boat. But I will keep watching. Thanks. :)

11. Here's another.

She seems to cultivate a different look for each movie. The still here is from In America, for which she had her hair cropped short. But she has done costume dramas (Jane Eyre, Sweet and Lowdown) as well.

14. She was a heroin addict in Jesus' Son

She was incredibly seductive.

15. I just watched that last night.

She was great in that, as she was in In America.
The split screen segment with Crudup and Dennis Leary shooting up was disturbing.

16. Talk into my hole.

Dennis Hopper rules.

17. Morvern Callar

A very difficult film to watch, but she makes it entirely believable and mesmerizing somehow -- amazing performance.
