B-5. Arguably the most controversial movie of 2017, it received both boos and a standing ovation when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival.
How about "MOTHER," with Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence
B-8. “The woman's house was taken from her because she did not pay her taxes. That happens when one is not responsible.”
HOUSE OF SAND AND F0G, with Oscar winners Jennifer Connolly and Ben Kingsley
B-30. “What happened last night?”
“Well, you got drunk and told my dad I'm pregnant, you revealed you have a 15 year old son named Jorge, and oh, apparently you have the hots for my mom.”
MEET THE FOCKERS - which gives us Barbra Streisand, DeNiro and Hoffman
B-31. One of the stars of this period black comedy has called it "a funnier, sex driven All About Eve."
THE FAVOURITE - which completes Rachel Weisz
B-34. “Hi, mum. I know you will be sound asleep. I just want to say that I'm safe. Safe and all the questions have been answered. There are no more dead ends. I found my mother, and she thanks you both for raising me. She understands that you are my family. She's happy, just knowing I'm alive. I found her, but that doesn't change who you are.”
LION. Giving us Nicole Kidman
B-38. “It is a truth universally acknowledged that when one part of your life starts going okay, another falls spectacularly to pieces.”
BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY - giving us Colin Firth
B-42. “You don't shoot cops. Even I know that. Eva knows it. The only one who doesn't seem to know is you.”
“All right, Mama. I'm not going to, I promise you. I'm not going to shoot anyone.”
“I never asked you where all this stuff came from, because I didn't want to hear you lie to me.”
AMERICAN GANGSTER - gives us Cuba Gooding, Jr. and finishes Morgan Freeman by adding Denzel Washington (Glory) to his list.
